they could have made sundhage give an award, maybe for best coach of the year.... "And the winner iss....Mee!", we put lol at side for the moment....but they could have open the closet and asked someone...like Mia Hamm or something...

cuz they didnt seem to have a woman legend who could have given the award to the women - one day however sawa might be that legend to give that award to another female player ;)
