The U.S. gives Mia Hamm a golden farewell
雅典當?shù)貢r間8月26日,在奧運會女子足球決賽中,美國隊經(jīng)過加時賽2比1戰(zhàn)勝巴西奪冠。美國女足的靈魂人物米婭·哈姆在打完這場比賽后將正式掛靴,向她喜愛的足球運動永遠地說再見了。她為國家隊效力長達17年,出戰(zhàn)250多場國際比賽,并且打進150多粒進球,成為美國有史以來進球最多的女足隊員。

The United States gave Hall of Famer Mia Hamm the perfect send-off on Thursday, beating Brazil 2-1 to win Olympic gold in the women's soccer tournament.

Abby Wambach powered home a header in the 22nd minute of extra time in Athens to give the U.S. their second Olympic title after winning at the 1996 Atlanta Games.

For Hamm, widely regarded as the best ever female player, it was a fitting end to a glittering 17-year career, even though she made little impact on a disappointing game.

"They carried me tonight, that's for sure," said an exhausted Hamm, who insisted there would be no change of heart about her decision to retire.

"There are few times in your life where you get to write the final chapter the way you want things. I'm not going to be an athlete that says so and then comes back.

"I have been extremely blessed to finish my career this way. It's a wonderful feeling."

The Americans, who finished runners-up to Norway in Sydney four years ago, took the lead six minutes before halftime with a superb long-distance strike from Lindsay Tarpley.

Brazil striker Pretinha equalized in the 73rd minute, pouncing on a mistake from goalkeeper Briana Scurry to score from close range.

But Wambach settled American nerves in the second period of extra time, the big striker heading a Kristine Lilly corner into the roof of the net for her 18th goal in her last 20 games.

The 32-year-old Hamm, who helped the U.S. win the World Cup in 1991 and 1999, never came close to scoring her 154th goal in 266 internationals.

But she was cheered every time she touched the ball by a raucous crowd of 10,000 that included Olympic swimming champion Michael Phelps.
