Disney Family Movies "Play At The Next Level" Sweepstakes Summer Games Update: Alex Morgan, how does your head feel, eh?  In a women's semi-final soccer match for the ages, the U.S. Women's Team ((on Twitter: @ussoccer_wnt) defeated our northern neighbors Canada in overtime, 4 to 3, as Alex Morgan (on Twitter: @alexmorgan13) head-butted the winning g-o-o-o-a-l in the 123rd minute to send Team USA to the finals, to play Japan this Thursday, August 9th at London's famed Wembley Stadium. Incidentally, Japan will be playing its first-ever Summer Games women's soccer final, so the rematch of the 2011 World Cup promises to be a Summer Games highlight!

Fittingly in this 40th anniversary year of Title IV, women continued to dominate: American Jenn Suhr took a surprising gold (on Twitter: @JennSuhr) in women's pole vault.  And in firsts for the day, the nation of Ghana became the 143rd nation ever to take home a gold, when sprinter Kirani James (coming soon to Twitter: @KiraniJames). What an amazing -- and inspiring -- 10th day of these London 2012 Summer Games!

Tuesday, August 7th: In Women's Basketball Team USA will attempt to duplicate their soccer sisters' success against Canada in a quarterfinal match. And all eyes will continue to be on the amazing women of Team USA when Misty May-Treanor & Kerri Walsh head back to the beach volleyball court!
