US Beats France to Advance to the Women's World Cup Final - 13 July 2011

This 3-1 victory in the semi-finals put women's soccer back in the lead for alerts, with 11.  I can't wait to see how the Breaking News-letters blow up when they actually win the whole thing.

First to report was CNN
Tied for Second, both with their first showing, 1 minute later, were the Houston Chronicle & Seattle Times
Fourth, after another minute, was the Chicago Tribune
Fifth, 4 minutes later, was the Raleigh News & Observer
The Los Angeles Times showed up in Sixth place, after 2 more minutes
Fox News "broke" the story only 3 minutes later, in Seventh place
After 2 minutes more, Eighth to appear, the Denver Post peeked in
In Ninth, another first-time participant, and my home state's newspaper, the Minneapolis Star-Tribune arrived after another 5 minutes
Tenth place, 17 minutes later, went to the Boston Herald
And coming in last, but still in there another 26 minutes later, was the Richmond Times-Dispatch

Oddly enough, even with all the newcomers, only one was not on the original list of newsletters to which I've subscribed.
