"Those goals are normally like... second hand." -- comment from Abby Wambach
on her 8 missed shots during the game against Columbia. What she meant was
"second nature" or something similar, but, apparently, could not think of
the appropriate expression on the spot. She was clearly linguistically
impaired or she would not have referred to shots as "goals".
