          CONGRATULATING THE U.S. WOMEN'S NATIONAL SOCCER TEAM

  (Mr. COHEN asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute.)
  Mr. COHEN. Madam Speaker, on Sunday, like millions of other 
Americans, I was watching the women's soccer team play in Germany. What 
a wonderful moment it was when they came back at the last second and 
grabbed victory from defeat. Abby Wambach's tremendous header, the save 
by Hope Solo, and the five kicks by the American women made us all 
proud to be Americans. The American soccer team won, and they are going 
to play again tomorrow, and we need to cheer for them.
  Abby Wambach, when asked about her kick, said it was something about 
being an American. We don't give up. We know we can win, and we don't 
give up, and we win. I would ask my Republican colleagues to remember 
Abby Wambach and not give up and win on the deficit, because otherwise 
we will be losers in the eyes of the world on our economics and our 
ability to finance our own debt. Go United States of America.
