Historic Display of Virtue in Sports - US Women's Soccer

If you missed the USA Women's World Cup Soccer Game against Brazil yesterday you will want to watch the 4 minute video link below.

What a display of virtue.

Debatable red card call, very debatable re-take of a penalty kick, playing with only 10 for huge portion of the game ... scoring in the last minute of the game.

Steely resolve, willpower, perseverance, focus, belief, mental toughness .... there are so many virtues that come to mind.

Regardless how they do in the semi-final match on Wednesday - that game was an historic display of virtue in sports we should all be proud of, emulate and learn from.
