FIFA Womens' Football WC 2011 — Anybody watching?

[classical_hero]

Hmm. Bugger. Really poor defence.

You cannot defend like that at any tournament, but at a stage this big.

 

[Formaldehyde]

Brazil scores at 1:38! Against Brazil...

 

[ummmm........]

And I missed it! I need video . . .

 

[holy king]

well, so automatic champions germany are already out. at home.

 

[Formaldehyde]

What a joke. Ref 1, USA 0.

 

[ummmm........]

Ah, it's going to be tough to pull off now playing one down. But then, if Brazil scores all the goals, it's only fair they win, right . . ?

 

[Formaldehyde]

Yet another bad call. This ref is literally a bad joke. But at least we got one no-call in our favor.

And there was an obvious Brazilian dive at the very end...

 

[ummmm........]

Can't really complain about diving in soccer from what I gather, it's just part of the culture . . .

 

[Formaldehyde]

And now they miss an obvious offside call right in front of the referee and line judge, which leads to a goal...

 

[ummmm........]

So . .

Horsecollaring is illegal in American football, but in soccer, not so bad . . .

 

[holy king]

well, the usa got screwed alright.

 

[ummmm........]

A lot of bad breaks, surely, but it's hard to argue the Americans really did anything to deserve the win either . . .

 

[kronic]

well, so automatic champions germany are already out. at home.

It's a relief for most of us, believe me. The media hype became unbearable.

 

[holy king]

A lot of bad breaks, surely, but it's hard to argue the Americans really did anything to deserve the win either . . .

diving, cheating and lamenting brazil surely less?

 

[shadowplay]

Gooooooooooooooooooooooool!!!

*heel clicks*

 

[ummmm........]

Now if we don't win, we can complain . . .

 

[Formaldehyde]

diving, cheating and lamenting brazil surely less?

The whining diving cheaters and incompetent refereeing lose. How sad for them.

 

[trader/warrior]

That was an intense game. Wasn't even intending to watch but got pulled in. Sucks to be the one who got both an own goal and miss in the penalty shootout.

The brazilian getting medics to take her off the field on a strecher then jumping off and back in the game fit as ever was hilarious. At least she got a yellow though.

 

[ummmm........]

Yep, over the hump. Sweden's up next and there's no way they can beat us, right . . ?

 

[madviking]

The US deserved it. They had to put up with so much <poo> from the ref and Brasil.
