hmm, while i am so glad there will be a second chance for our womens team to play, that is what it is; a second chance, unless you are the next olympic host country you would not get that sort of treatment, or even worse they are taking pity on our performance and letting us try again with little to know expectation of success.
HOPEFULLY, we will give a better performance this time around and make us proud... or they can recruit me to play!!!!
