PITTSBURGH — From the looks of the traffic around Heinz Field on Sunday afternoon, it seemed like a typical game day.
Cars clogged the roads, going speeds measured not in miles, but in feet, per hour. Thousands of fans swarmed sidewalks, bridges and parking lots on their way to their Pittsburgh Steelers-yellow seats.
Here, in this city known for its football and football legends, and a football fanaticism that bridges generations, it was indeed a day for football.
Just not American football.
It was a day for soccer and for the United States women’s national team, the sports stars of this summer.
