wow. Huge miss by that Sweden player! Awesome build up and then the girl pulls a Wondo right in front of goal.

 

[Slizz]

Ouch.... gift-wrapped....

 

[thy_]

Whole Swedish team face-palming on that one.

 

[Smiles and Cries]

damn why did I stay up all night I want to watch this game until the USA NKorea match but falling asleep

 

[Djungelfrukt]

Does anyone know of a livestream or decent proxy to use to watch the game? I know that swedish TV is streaming it online, but since i currently live in Ireland I can't access it.

is the stadium kinda half empty?

Poor women sports

 

[Klyka]

Poor women sports

There were 75000 people at the Germany game in Berlin.

It's just that no one cares about this current game.
Same thing happened in South Africa, lots of stadiums were half empty.

I don't remember there being so many empty seats. Either way, I'm looking forward to seeing the US try to keep up with Best Korea

Thanks a lot, though I can't seem to get it to work, are you using it?

Edit: I've tried all the different links.

Nope. I'm watching TV4, but I tried it before I posted the link and it worked fine. It's a British Eurosport stream.

Edit: I tried it again and it still works fine for me.

If it isn't shown in Ireland, the FIFA stream could work http://www.fifa.com/womensworldcup/video/live/index.html.

Gah, which link are you using? It might be that I'm at work, I'll hopefully catch the last quarter when I get home.

The default one. I don't even have to click on one of the links, there's a video feed on the page I posted.

 

[skybaby]

At the same time as copa america? oh fifa you so crazy, I had no idea this was going on

 

[archnemesis]

;_; Another missed open goal.

Edit: Yay! Goal!

 

[Slizz]

Perfect pass.

 

[Levyne]

Pre-game coverage is starting on ESPN for U.S.A vs. North Korea.

 

[TheKaeptain]

I'll have to record the game today. Fuck it I will watch this. Alex Morgan is my dream woman.

 

[JLG-]

1-1 is a draw.

 

[SneakyStephan]

Haha that's a fake right.

 

[TheKaeptain]

Haha that's a fake right.

Nope, New York post was making fun of soccer.

 

[Levyne]

Right to the keeper :/

 

[helloresolven]

Haha that's a fake right.

No, they were making a joke, which seems to be lost on a lot of people.

 

[Clydefrog]

pulls a Wondo right in front of goal.

heheh

 

[ConfusingJazz]

Haha that's a fake right.

And the Brits say we have a shitty sense of humor. It is done with tongue firmly planted in cheek.

It comes from a 1968 headline "Harvard Beats Yale, 29-29" when Yale was heavily favored and winning by 16 with 42 seconds left.

 

[timetokill]

Haha that's a fake right.

No, but apparently (and sadly) the New York Post was aiming a little too high with their humor.

 

[TheKaeptain]

Our team has quite a few lookers.



and OH SHIT AT THE NORTH KOREAN MEN'S TEAM Punishment.

 

[feel]

GO DEUTSCHLAND!

US seems to be playing on their heels a little bit.

[Socreges]

How would that be making fun of soccer?

 

[Levyne]

How would that be making fun of soccer?

The fact that Ties can be as important as wins when it comes to group play. I don't remember last years cup, did a US-England tie secure a spot to the elimination round? That would make the front make perfect sense.

 

[TheKaeptain]

It's a dig at soccer and how most Americans view it. Celebrating for a tie and such.

No...

It's the fact that they were heavy underdogs, treated as an easy beat, and yet came away with a tie. Also a reference to a similar situation in 1968 that ConfusingJazz mentioned.

 

[Regulus Tera]

This Best Korea vs USA match is boring.

No...

It's the fact that they were heavy underdogs, treated as an easy beat, and yet came away with a tie. Also a reference to a similar situation in 1968 that ConfusingJazz mentioned.

It's a moral victory, but not a real victory.

So a tie.

I realize the importance of the tie in that position, any soccer fan would. It's just that to many Americans, celebrating a tie is very alien.

 

[Revenant]

So is great leader still using that small microphone to communicate a game winning strategy like in the world cup?

\(just tuned in, from what it sounds like it's working so far!)

 

[Brobzoid]

A shame that this is in my timezone since I'll probably be at work during most of the matches. still, I'll try to catch what I can.

 

[ConfusingJazz]

It's a moral victory, but not a real victory.

So a tie.

Um, no one is disputing that the end result is a tie, the headline is a joke.

Here, have some context: http://harvardmagazine.com/2000/11/the-saga-of-a-great-head.html

Keep telling yourself that. Americans don't like ties. New York Post knew this and made fun of it. Yes, they were referencing 1968, still a joke about soccer though.

'A tie is like kissing your sister'

 

[ConfusingJazz]

Keep telling yourself that. Americans don't like ties.

'A tie is like kissing your sister'

We don't like ties, but the headline has nothing to do with American disdain for ties.

 

[Socreges]

Again, that's not what the headline is about. You're confused.

And no one likes ties.

 

[Levyne]

Another straight to the keeper.

 

[Regulus Tera]

Fuck you, I loved this tie.

 

[Sage00]

No, but apparently (and sadly) the New York Post was aiming a little too high with their humor.

The joke was that they actually drew but the headline says wins? Ha ha! Classic!

 

[Levyne]

urrrrhk

edit: noooo!

 

[lush]

How are they not finishing any of these chances? At least put something on your shots.

edit: Finally.

 

[Regulus Tera]

Best Korea losing now.

 

[Levyne]

AWWWW YEEEAH
