In what will go down as one of the greatest moments in American soccer history, Team USA forward Abby Wambach scored a game-tying goal in stoppage time of overtime in USA's Women's World Cup Quarterfinal match against Brazil.
The former Gator's goal in the 122nd minute of the game allowed the Americans to take the game to a penalty kick shootout, which the US won 5-3 to beat Brazil. The Americans now advance to the semifinal to face France. That game will be played on Wednesday at 12 p.m.
