Go USA!

Early goal for US! 1-0 good girls.

One of few US teams I ever root for - US soccer women.

Marta misfires on a good chance in the 23rd minute.

Kyle Baker said...

First yellow of the match for a foot left high - fair call.

Kyle Baker said...

Han Solo tested.

Which Brazilian is Greedo?

Steve Sax said...

When did Greedo go Brazilian?

Eric Karros said...

What just happened there with the 2 penalty shots? I'm watching w/o sound...

Kyle Baker said...

Dunno EK. First one was saved then a second one ordered. I'm driving so couldn't see what happened. Yahoo commentary on my phone said it was harsha as was the original PK call in the first place. FIFA - fixed.

Kyle Baker said...

For the record I'm in a car but not driving. Mrs Dusty is driving and I'm bitching about FIFA.

Eric Karros said...

Thank dusty. Are we headed towards extra innings?

As an aside, I gotta say, no. 13 on both sides are not too difficult on the eyes...

Let me fill everyone in: US get a red on what looked like a perfectly good challenge. On the penalty, Hope Solo guesses right and saves the shot. AR on the left says Solo was off her line early, and the shot is retaken by that whiner, Marta. Goal Brafuckingzil.
US with 10 players now takes the game to the Whiners in Yellow.

We go to OT.

Hard to win down 4 women.

FIFA officiating typically horrible. Rampione given a yellow and the free kick.

Ian Darke having a tough time making sense of it all.

Filho da puta

Kyle Baker said...

HOW THE FUCK DID THE AR MISS THAT HAND BALL? She was standing right fucking there!!!! God dammit this is bs.

Kyle Baker said...

And now the patented South American Time Wasting Gambit. How proud can they be of this win if they hold on? Pathetic. Same old cheaters.

Eric Karros said...

Brazilian no 13 with quickest recovery ever from a stretcher-requiring injury

Kyle Baker said...

ABSOLUTE FUCKING DISGRACE.

Kyle Baker said...

Start kicking people! At least get in a shot at Marta's knee.

Paul said...

Goooooooal!!!

Eric Karros said...

Holy!!!

Kyle Baker said...

SUCK IT MARTA!!!!!!

Eric Karros said...

Otimo

Eric Karros said...

Solo, you're our only Hope

Kyle Baker said...

A Siciliano just said "Even the coin toss from that referee looked suspect."

Nice one.

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

That was a sweet save.

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

USA!

Kyle Baker said...

As an ENG supporter, it seems weird to see all these PKs converted.

Kyle Baker said...

Brazil going home,going home, going home!!!!

Eric Karros said...

Wow that was an awesome game

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

This broadcaster does not know what "literally" means.

Paul said...

Not sure why Lord Alfred Hayes was one of the commentators.

Kyle Baker said...

Can't stop talking shit about kicking BRA's ass. This is going to be a good afternoon.

Uganda!

rbnlaw said...

And, take the stars off your jerseys ladies. You've won NOTHING!.


NOTHING.

Me: I love you.
Hope Solo: I know.
