Tomorrow....It All Begins

As all of you know, tomorrow is the beginning of the Germany 2011 FIFA Women's World Cup!!! Can you believe its finally here? It feels like just yesterday when they announced the groups, or when they started the 100 day countdown. My fellow fans, it all begins tomorrow. The long wait will FINALLY be over. Its almost sad, because part of the fun of a World Cup is anticipating it, feeling the excitement grow every day, until it rises into a fever pitch, like it has in the past week. You can tell its here when everyone is buzzing about it, articles and videos and promos and commercials everywhere! What we've been waiting for has come. Women's Soccer fans, our time is now! This summer, the spotlight is on our sport. I hope the ladies representing their teams in the tournament show the World how much the sport has grown, and just how entertaining it can be. All eyes are on Germany. I am confident the teams will deliver and show the world how special Women's Soccer is. Tomorrow kicks off the action with Group A, with France vs. Nigeria at 8:45 am ET, and then later, hosts Germany face off against Canada at 11:45 am ET. All of the fans around the world are as eager as ever for tomorrow to arrive. I wish every player in the tournament luck and good health throughout the tournament. I'm confident that the players and teams will make the fans proud, and will do the sport justice.

Good luck!

Everybody, its about to get real!
