Alas, the Olympics are over the Olympics won't include a gold or silver medal for Laure Boulleau, following today's 2-1 defeat at the hand of the Japanese. To be truthful, Laure didn't play. But we are still sad, just as she appears above.
Laure's next game is the bronze medal game on August 9 at 5a PT, versus Canada, which just lost in a heartbreaker.
Oh, and Canada is up on Team USA 1-0 in the 36th minute of play. Go USA!
UPDATE 1:37p: Wambach scores in the 80th minute on a penalty to tie it at 3. To extra time we go!
UPDATE 2:20p: Alex Morgan scores! 4-3 USA final.

If this is the semi-final, is there no bronze medal game?
Just saw the replay of the Canadian goal. Hope Solo looked like a fool.
wow. Corner kick goal for the US. that was pretty good.
1-1
Go Canada!
GOAL USA!
Canada has a woman named Carmelina Moscato. Awesome name!
1-1 ladies. Now let's put the screws to America's hat.
There usually is a bronze medal game. we'll find out when the US loses.
CANADA!!!!!!
2-1
2-1 Well god dammit.
BAHHHH
Why you <3 Canadia, Spank?
wild fucking match.
2-2.
GOAL USA!
2-2!
Come on - put the screws to these nappy headed hoes.
HOLY FUCKING SHIT!!
3-2 Canada.
I'm not able to watch, just follow online. How shitty is the US defense???
Pho.
Ok, this match is ridiculous.
@db
The defense on the set pieces is HIGHLY suspect.
Refs are giving free kicks to the US. Can't let the olympic darlings lose i guess.
That saucy little minx Sydney Leroux coming on as a sub.
3 all, bishes.
Weak. 3-3
Thx Stubbsy.
Isn't that exactly what Brandy Chastain was calling out when Hope Solo attacked her on the twitters?
Wambach missed a sitter, it seems.
What are you guys doing, working or something?
Tied at 3. Extra time! Post updated.
I just looked up pictures of Leroux. She is a right saucy little minx.
@db
Indeed, it was exactly Chastain's criticism. Athletes getting in fights with media doesn't often end well.
Where is the game now? It's as if all the live bloggers only got paid to type for regular time.
Still tied after 1st half of extra time.
I lost interest after the refs gave the USA a free kick for a goal kick violation which had a big impact on the game.
Wow - some controversy! Will the Canadians be pissed about that if they lose?
Will I order some Canadian bacon on my pizza tonight?
4-3 USA. Canada's balls probably ought to be in a tangle.
Holy cow, Morgan scored?
I guess we may have to pick up another SoSG Womens Soccer love (and succumb to the fanerman homerville!).
I gotta say, that was probably a 2-3 Canada victory, in reality, but you play it like the call it.

ALEX FUCKING MORGAN!!!!!!!
^they
Go Japan!
Cc:Dustettes
Get me pictures of Alex Morgan STAT!
Pics?
Gif?
Fuck yeah! This is the only US team I root for so I'm glad to have this win, but not to have the controversy. The Spanktroversy, if you will.
Good work, Fanerman!

You'll always have 2010, Canada.
Nice work, Mr. F!
All I have to say is: Laure who?
Warranted or not, that's a downright respectable header.
The world needs more Brandi
Chastains annoying voice.
NBC streaming the game online sans commentary was a nice touch.
For Spank
Mr. F:
For Spank or for spank?
Oh I was assuming it was soccer star porn, not a jingoistic taunt from an unlikely guy!
i don't do that bestiality shit. Even i have some standards.
Go Mexico!
wow, how far this comment thread has fallen. guess i'd better get the GT up quick before we degrade further
Yeah let's jump right to the GT.
