Kelley O'Hara is a sublime talent. The 31 year-old is a stalwart member of the two World Cup-winning U.S. Women's National Soccer Teams. She's indefatigable, bombing up and down the wing from her outside back position, serving crosses into the box that her more famous teammates convert into goals.
She's also, if you listen to Men in Blazers, infectiously fun and very self-effacing.
Earlier this week, the USWNT took on Costa Rica in an Olympic qualifying match. The U.S. ladies had no trouble handing the distaff Ticos, but O'Hara did have a bit of an embarrassing moment. As she herself highlighted on Twitter:
Everyone, you’re welcome. https://t.co/HH6anxqGNF— Kelley O'Hara (@kelleymohara) February 4, 2020
We've all been there, at least metaphorically. Good on you, Kelley, and good luck in Tokyo

So, um, Gretchen Whitmer seems nice.
I made a Velvet Underground reference at work today but no one got it. Someone said to go to a particular address to pick up theater tickets and to look for the guy in the big hat and I said “tell him I’m waiting for the man” and everyone looked at me like I was speaking in tongues.
Zcoworkers are lame.
That is probably my favorite VU song. That and Sweet Jane, of course. And the 3 that REM covered. They’re all great. Ah, and Rock & Roll. Oh, and Oh Sweet Nuthin, which was recorded before Marshall Tucker’s soundalike, and which is probably my favorite VU song.
we are all spartacus. pour out some ouzo for kirk douglas.
Zdaughter is much cooler than zcoworkers. She explained that it’s easy to remember how to write a capital B because “butt” starts with the letter B, and the letter B looks like a butt on a plate sideways.
happy coincidence that this post falls on national girls and women in sports day (ngwsd). which hopefully won't need to be a thing soon.
