Why U.S. women will qualify for Olympics today/ A day of celebration for the American player

If you watch Universal Sports (Direct tv) today or Universalsports.com you will see the women qualify for the London Olympics. No I am not being disrespectful to their opponents Costa Rica but the reality is the United States women are clearly superior in Concacaf.
In three games against the Dominican Republic, Guatemala and Mexico they have scored 31 goals and given up 0. The fact is they could have played all these games without a goalkeeper and won them. Fact.
The reason for the Gulf of difference between the U.S. and the rest is simply that womens sports are treated seriously in the United States, it is a part of the fabric of sports in the U.S. As much as many want to point the finger at FIFA for the lack of womens sports interest in many countries we must still realize it is cultural and governments must be held accountable as well. Could Fifa do more to engage these governments to the benefits fo womens sports, of course.
The U.S. women deserve tremendous credit for their performances that have been aggressive, focused and serious. It is not their problem that competition lacks and their mission is to win a gold medal. The depth is impressive, the attention to the task at hand impressive as well.
We might have a talking point with a potential injury to Hope Solo but the fact is she has made three saves in three matches and none were a threat. NO one has created a good chance against the U.S. and that includes a Mexico squad that had 14 players who had connection to U.S. colleges. Yes, the U.S. college system is still the main supplier of players to the Mexican Womens national team.
Today will be no different against Costa Rica and the U.S. will book their ticket to London. Sunday could see a different challenge in the final against Canada if they get past Mexico.
Just my thoughts.

AMERICAN PLAYERS ON THE BIG STAGE
How good does it feel to be connected to U.S. soccer in whatever form.
Whether you are a former player, fan, or just a patriot, it is great to see a game today on FSC (2cst) between Everton and Fulham that features two true American stars in Landon Donovan and Clint Dempsey.
Dempsey recently produced a hat trick in the EPL, a first for an American player.
Donovan has spent the majority of his career of course in MLS but has stepped into Everton for the second time and has impressed.
Dare we say it is DEMPSEY v. DONOVAN today? Why not!
