The U.S Women soccer team's dramatic victory on Sunday over Brazil in the World Cup, could be reason to do a local story about soccer in your community.
The women's team beat Brazil in penalty kicks after scoring a goal in the last few minutes of overtime, which tied the game.
The women's team plays France on Wednesday in the semifinals.
A few ideas on localizing this story:
• Call a few sporting good shops in your community and find out if U.S. women apparel is flying off the shelves?
• Touch base with your local park district and see if more parents signed up their kids for soccer programs this summer or if more are checking in now to see if anything is available for the fall?
• Soccer still hasn't gripped the nation, the way baseball and football, do. Talk to local soccer coaches and players and get their thoughts on this and if they think a run by the women to the championship game would change some of that perception?
