We've told you before, Natasha Kai has a shot at being one of the media darlings at the olympics in Beijing. Her talent, her personality, hard to ignore, but first some very bad news for the US women's soccer team. Watch Abby Wamback in blue. She collides with a Brazilian player and breaks her left leg, fractures to both her tibia and fibula. Surgery Thursday to have a medal rod inserted. Wambach is the team's leading scorer, now she will miss the olympics. Game still scoreless in the 85 minute. That's when Natasha Kai strikes. The goal is great, but Kai says her heart sank when Wambach got hurt. One to nothing, US wins.
