What the title game demonstrated as clear as could be is how TEAM trumps great individuals nearly every time. The LA Sol has the greatest soccer player in the World - Marta from Brazil. In addition, they have several other excellent individual players. But that is how they played while their opponents controlled the pace, kept possesion and eventually found an opening to score.
This game also demonstrated why it is so dificult to attrract the American sports fans to soccer. A 1-0 score is the norm in title games as teams play more defensive and there are even very few good shots on goal in an entire game. While true experienced futbol fans understand the nuances of great play, the American sports fans has been jaded by things like ESPN's highlights to focus on the scores. In soccer, there just aren't enough of them.
