TheMadCap Posted July 10, 2011 Posted July 10, 2011 (edited) and that is why Americans don't give a **** about soccer. The blatest duchebaggery by the officials, and the flopping and cheating by SOuth Americans. However, Brazil can suck it because the US girls won't lay down... Edited July 10, 2011 by TheMadCap
Peace Posted July 10, 2011 Posted July 10, 2011 Brazil is the only women's team that flops around like fish. Nice to see them sent packing by the USA's completely inspired play after that red card.
bbb Posted July 10, 2011 Posted July 10, 2011 It's forgotten now, but that was such a joke how that Brazil girl faked the injury. And, they give her a yellow card. What does that even do?
bbb Posted July 10, 2011 Posted July 10, 2011 Hope Solo looks a lot like Kate Middleton from certain angles. Very hot.
CowgirlsFan Posted July 10, 2011 Posted July 10, 2011 I just caught the last 15 minutes! Amazing!! USA!! USA!!
LewPort71 Posted July 10, 2011 Posted July 10, 2011 You can always count on a major hosing by the refs. PTR "Just give it to them"
Cugalabanza Posted July 10, 2011 Author Posted July 10, 2011 Wow! That was one of the best games I've ever seen. Incredible win. Go USA!
ajzepp Posted July 10, 2011 Posted July 10, 2011 Hope Solo looks a lot like Kate Middleton from certain angles. Very hot. I agree...I think she's a babe. I like that Ally girl who plays in Germany, too. She was like ICE on that last PK to win the game
Peace Posted July 10, 2011 Posted July 10, 2011 It's forgotten now, but that was such a joke how that Brazil girl faked the injury. And, they give her a yellow card. What does that even do? Second yellow is a red which is an ejection for that and the next game. Back to back games with yellows disqualify you for the next game.
bbb Posted July 10, 2011 Posted July 10, 2011 Second yellow is a red which is an ejection for that and the next game. Back to back games with yellows disqualify you for the next game. Thanks for clarifying. So, it did the US no good at that time, but it might have come back to haunt her later.
LewPort71 Posted July 11, 2011 Posted July 11, 2011 Set your DVRs for wednesdays match against France. and tonight at midnight ESPN2 will replay todays match as an "Instant Classic" Rapinoe's pass to Wambaugh for the second goal was a thing of beauty. Regarding the re-do on the penalty kick that Hope blocked. Encroaching happens, but is rarely called , like traveling in the NBA
Doc Posted July 11, 2011 Posted July 11, 2011 Set your DVRs for wednesdays match against France. and tonight at midnight ESPN2 will replay todays match as an "Instant Classic" Rapinoe's pass to Wambaugh for the second goal was a thing of beauty. Regarding the re-do on the penalty kick that Hope blocked. Encroaching happens, but is rarely called , like traveling in the NBA It was FIFA/the refs trying to give Brazil every advantage they could after being down 1-0 and looking like they were going to go down. The play should never have been called a penalty in the first place, much less a red card given. And on the 2nd goal by Marta, there was clear off-sides. With officiating like that, as well as all the flopping, it makes soccer almost impossible to stomach.
LewPort71 Posted July 11, 2011 Posted July 11, 2011 With all the factors going against the US women's team, it makes their victory even sweeter. ignore the refs and enjoy the great plays made by the US.

To me it's insane not to play to a hard clock instead of a referee's whim. I'd also stop the clock for injury. None of this faking schitt. PTR
