It's pretty popular around where I live.
Hahaha. I'd love to see a cute little strike like that here.

LOL ref..
It's improved dramatically, but there are the rather unclean missed passes every few possessions that you don't see at the high level of men's competitions.

They're in with a sniff of a medal here.
Winner goes in to silver/gold final against Japan, loser in to game against France for bronze.
Yep, very good for a women's football match. Like I said, I think a lot of people probably decided not to go because GB weren't playing.
dont forget the German vaulter finishing 4th because the judges forgot to deduct points (the 3rd place russian stepped out of her landing, but didnt get the points decducted, and you cant appeal an execution score)

I think there's only 3 judges this time around (scoring changed slightly at these Olympics).
They can see each other but they don't have time to because if they think a boxer has landed a hit then they have to press the button with a second of it landing for it to score.
Obviously the scoring is different to professional boxing as in the Olympics you score only on hits. One hit = one score.
something like..
she is like a model...so pretty......so pretty she is...mmmm....but but yeah...a fine footballer...yeah.

Canada is pretty classy for that. Bravo.

I wouldn't have kicked that out.
That's a good way to get one of your teammates taken out.

Defensively it is a bit of a mess, and passing accuracy has been quite average, but it makes for a real wide open game with lots of tension on both halves of the pitch. It's certainly more entertaining than watching nth team bunkering against Barcelona/Spain hoping for a break-through.

Bad corner to give away :S
Not when the other team's done the same thing. Sinclair went down and we kept on playing too. I'm perfectly fine with kicking it out and exchanging the ball after the injury is treated, but when one team doesn't observe that rule, the other shouldn't either. And I'm for the US. PEACE.

What was Wilkinson doing?

win it now USA
Very little diving, rolling on the ground, and crowding the ref as well. It's fun to watch them just play.
Keepers are not expected to save penalties anyway. Strikers are expected to score and everything else is a bonus.

That Wombach challenge reminded me whether there has ever been a flare up between two womens teams in a match?

I'm hoping for a Canadian victory, because, well, this match should've ended 3x2.

fouls left and right damn
Wth is a turnover?
There has been little to no faking so far from what I've seen. People are getting tired though having played a ton of minutes.
Not even close to a Spain vs Italy men's game
