Gilding the Lilly

The telegenic Mia Hamm may get more media attention, but real devotees of women's soccer know that Kristine Lilly is every bit her equal as a player. If you're a fan of "Lil the Thrill," you should hop on over to the "Lily Pad," an exceptional fan-generated website that thankfully dispenses with all the requisite "Lilly" puns in its introductory paragraph and moves on to a list of links you can "splash around in" at your leisure. Check out game summaries for all of Lilly's U.S. national team action dating back to 1997. Read her exciting 1999 World Cup diary. Or browse a gallery of pictures celebrating the day Lilly brought her Olympic gold medal back to her hometwon of Wilton, Connecticut. This is a terrific launching "pad" for young girls looking for a great role model and all fans of women's soccer.
