The United States’ all-conquering women’s soccer team urged President Barack Obama to fly to Germany to cheer them on in Sunday’s World Cup final.
After beating France 3-1 on Wednesday to book their place in the title game, several members of the squad told how the presence of the Commander in Chief would cap off a spectacular tournament. The Americans would be strong favorites to beat Japan in Frankfurt.
Typically, the White House was tight-lipped on the President’s movements. Last summer, he was due to fly to South Africa if the U.S. men’s team had progressed to the semifinals, but Bob Bradley’s side got eliminated by Ghana in the round of 16, a clash watched by former President Bill Clinton and current Vice President Joe Biden.

Either way, it must hurt the right-wing media and others to see these players like Obama so much, wanting him to attend their biggest game. Yes, right-wing media - people love him! ;-)
