[Joel Was Right]

How can they be robbed with the match not over?

The match doesn't need to be over to realise that decision was game changing. 10 minutes from the final whistle. Now the ascendency is with the USA. If the Canadians go out, it'll be that decision which will be looked at. I said it before, if the score was still 3-2 I honestly couldn't have seen the USA come back.

 

[Kave_Man]

If the goalkeeper holds onto the ball for more than six seconds, or if the goalkeeper picks up a ball from a team mate that was deliberately kicked back to her, then an indirect free-kick is awarded from inside the penalty area.

Thanks for that.

I feel kind of bad for them that they keep having to stop for medal ceremonies when they all look frozen.

 

[apocalidiot]

America fucking rules

 

[Leonsito]

I need a drink.

Canada committed 15 fouls, but USA suffered 12?

 

[Nemo]

Sanchez emotional as hell

 

[Shadow780]

[fuenf]

Silke Spiegelburg is having a total mental break down she was just shown crying and screamng "So eine scheiße, immer 4. das kann nicht wahr sein." ('Bullshit, always 4th, this cant be true/happening ')

poor girl

 

[RangersFan]

GTFO she missed lol

 

[GhostWriter24]

Oh dear meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

 

[Meier]

for those who missed it

not handball

I only saw 1 replay that wasn't in slow motion.. didn't the ball then hit the next Canadian defender's (to her right in the photo) arm as well? The initial handball is a tough call -- any time it happens in the penalty box, a ref is going to hedge towards calling it.

 

[Regulus Tera]

what a miss

 

[CrunchinJelly]

US player should have went down there.

Clear pen.

 

[Pimpwerx]

[apocalidiot]

Holy fuck

 

[Chumly]

God dammit why do I have to be at work

 

[SyNapSe]

Oh man you can't miss that

 

[The Super Bob]

where are NBC's priorities.... you have this crazy soccer game on, and on their main Channel they want to show the horse event...which is delayed on top of that.

All the NBC horror stories make me appreciate the BBC even more. Coverage has been superb, and analysts Michael Johnson and Ian Thorpe have also been great.

 

[Brinbe]

Ugh...

 

[Leonsito]

Last jump for Elena, if she misses, Bronze, if she does it, almost assured gold.

 

[Pollux]

So close...

 

[seventynine]

The ref is shameful. C'mon Canada!

 

[Grover Cleveland]

Please don't let this game go to penalties.

[giant_frying_pan]

[giga]

Canada resorting to thuggery.

 

[Onion_Relish]

Goodbye sir.

HELLO, SIR

Anyone who says that wasn't a handball is nuts, but the hand ball on America was just as bad. Us pressing ughhhh

 

[Nolan.]

Haha I don't mean to laugh but that guy on the diving basically just jumped in feel sorry for him

 

[Kazerei]

Both players were turning away from the ball, and and their arms were at their sides, and the ball hit their arms. Seemed unfair. *shrugs*

 

[Adamm]

Yelena!!!! Nooooo!
