 EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. (AP) - All Kristine Lilly and Abby Wambach could think about was getting off to a fast start. But this fast? Lilly put home a brilliant free kick at 58 seconds, giving the United States the early edge it desired against Brazil. Wambach made it 2-0 in the 17th minute, and the Americans never were threatened again Saturday.
"It was 58 seconds?" Lilly said, her eyes widening. "I think in college I might have scored a little quicker.
"This is a team we haven't seen since the Olympics, so getting two goals right off the bat was good for us."
