That ref was complete crap. They call they made on the Canadian goalie for a 'delay of game' was such crap. It led to a penalty kick which gave the USA a goal. I also saw a ball out of bounds on the USA, but the ref called it in...

Bah.
You forgot about the hands call that wasn't called against the USA before all that went down.
 
BOW DOWN TO THE QUEEN

I think that's the first ever game that I've watched from beginning to end and dammit we end up losing in the final minute. >_<
 
And the foul by a Canadian that should've been another penalty for the US.

Lalalalala I can't hear you! US team has literally zero talent or will to win! Remember how that referee scored the goal in extra time for the US when the game was tied? Such BS.
 
To be fair though USA deserved the win. They were far the better side in every position

Anyway, Japan will give us redemption in the final. It is known
 
That handball call was bullshit. Same with the ball being clearly out of bounds. Questionable calls on both ends, but this handball was just bad.
 
LOL just re-watched the beginning of the match. One of the first things the commentator said - "We're going to need a strong referee".

Some foreboding shit.
 
Coaching decision on the defense there. She wanted to attack Canada. In the end, that might have been a winning strategy. It sure looked like a bad decision for most of the game. PEACE.

I'm talking about defensive movements and zone marking, really really bad to see.

Esiquio, no salt here, I'm an outsider since I'm from Italy. I was rooting for a penalty shoot out for more drama.

Really, it's kind of wonderful that Canada made the effort they did, even if they didn't have as much possession or general shots.
 
I dont know too much about soccer, but from the tone of this thread and the previous one, I have already resigned myself to the women getting silver. And thats ok!
 
That Game against Canada and the USA was so good well done USA by the finest of margins. Anyway time for Basketball. Lets see how this on turns out
 
Well, Canada gets a shot at redemption vs the USA tomorrow in women's basketball!















































We are so boned :_(

In soccer, I knew we had a real shot (and we obviously did, as we just took the US to the limit), but in basketball? LOL.

They did exactly what they needed to, played good counterattacking football. Their narrow front 3 made the US back 4 look like amateurs.
 
the handball was a handball, the free kick leading up to it however was questionable

Yea the free kick(as a USA fan) was pretty lame. Can't see how anyone disputes that handball though. Too bad if you can't react fast enough; put your hands behind your back and not at your sides.


That wasn't a handball, not ever.
There was a clear one from the replay, then it hit another player in the shoulder(who it got called on).
