Good for Japan.

 

[The Z Machine]

Brazil looks uninterested.

 

[Steve Tasker]

Brazil/Paraguay to PKs...

 

[Native]

All heck has broken out at the 120 minute mark of the Copa and I have no idea what the announcer is saying!

 

[James Bond]

Bottom line:

Japan deserved it.

The United States did not.

 

[MacGruber]

Must feel great for Japan to beat the country that nuked them.

 

[Steve Tasker]

On the bright side we would have won if it was sudden death.(sorry, thats ll i got to hang my hat on)

Hang your hat on watching a very exciting match, in which the team that deserved to win prevailed.

The US played pretty well, though...but each time they got a lead, they fell asleep. Great composure from the Japanese players to find a way to make it happen.

 

[wazoo11]

And now, back to Copa America... 0-0 in the 115th minute.

link?

 

[DCThunder]

So will ESPN shut up now about chick soccer for the next 40 years? Was this one of the 5 most exciting moments in sports history too?

 

[Steve Tasker]

Anyone see Sunil Gulati borderline checking out Sawa right there?

 

[The Z Machine]

And now, back to Copa America... 0-0 in the 115th minute.

link?

Univisíon down?

 

[Steve Tasker]

And now, back to Copa America... 0-0 in the 115th minute.

Univisionor go to Youtube and look for "CopaAmerica" channel...PKs are about to start...Elano to shoot first

 

[badmojo1006]

Congrats to Japan, they played their hearts out and deserved the win

 

[Mr. Pickles]

Must be muff your PK day in soccer.

 

[Native]

Jeez. Elano?!

 

[Senor Schmutzig]

Holy crap, that was a worse miss than Lloyd!

 

[Steve Tasker]

And Elano's kick is even worse than Lloyd's. A mile over the net....

 

[otello]

I'm enjoying the copa, despite ARG's loss

 

[Steve Tasker]

And Barreto goes wide....Brazil back in it.

 

[Senor Schmutzig]

I like that Copa America ball they are using.

LOL, this is starting to look vaguely familiar :15minutesago:

 

[Mr. Pickles]

CERO A CERO

 

[Native]

Feeling better about the loss after watching these PK's.

 

[Popinski]

On the bright side we would have won if it was sudden death.

Although I don't exactly watch much soccer, I didn't think it was a good sign when that US player got substituted out with a few minutes left in OT (US up by one), received an ovation and waved to the crowd. Both times they took the lead in this game, they didn't seem prepared to counter the inevitable sense of urgency that Japan played with.

 

[otello]

this is crazy

 

[Mr. Pickles]

GOL DE PARAGUAY!

 

[jimmy b]

GOALLLLLLLL...........GOALLLLLLLLLLL........GOALLLLLLLLLLL

 

[otello]

And it's good.

 

[flapgreen]

Good thing I don't care.

 

[Steve Tasker]

Brazil doing their best US women impression

 

[otello]

as in field goal

 

[Senor Schmutzig]

I think I have seen more missed PK's in the past 15 minutes than I have in the last 15 years.

 

[JMon348]

5-13 on PKs for these two games, crazy.

 

[Native]

Maybe Brazil should let some of its goal scorers partake in the PK's as the MF's and Defenders sure arent doing $#$%.

 

[Steve Tasker]

Any Larissa Riquelme sightings yet??

 

[tom22406]

Why oh why do they decide a World Championship on penalty kicks?

One of the worst ways to win or lose a game that took away from how great regular and extra time really was.One of the best games I have seen in a while.

 

[Mr. Pickles]

Impressive stuff from Brasil.

 

[Bonzai]

wtf

 

[The Z Machine]

WOW. 4 misses for Brazil. They shat their pants.

 

[otello]

0 for 4, amazing

 

[JMon348]

5-13 on PKs for these two games, crazy.

6-15 lead to two big upsets.

 

[Spartans Rule]

Maybe Brazil should let some of its goal scorers partake in the PK's as the MF's and Defenders sure arent doing $#$%.

No kidding... and as I'm typing I see the forward miss too.

 

[Steve Tasker]

Brazil goes 0/4 and they're out of the Copa America. Doesn't REALLY matter, they'll be in the Confederations Cup....but it makes for a much more exciting Copa with both Brazil and Argentina going out in the quarterfinals...

 

[otello]

not for me. I'd much rather have ARG still in it.

 

[Spartans Rule]

not for me. I'd much rather have ARG still in it.

And Brazil. I'd rather watch players I know.Pulling for Uruguay now I guess. Big fan of Forlan, Suarez and Lugano.

 

[otello]

I like URU, too, of the teams that are left.

 

[Big Blue Wrecking Crew]

Am i the only 1 rooting against Hope Solo ?

Can't say I rooted against here, but karma is a #####...Obviously not all her fault, but she stops that one she got her hand on, who knows what happens?

 

[The Z Machine]

¡Vamos Vinotinto!!!!!!!!

 

[Steve Tasker]

not for me. I'd much rather have ARG still in it.

Exciting in the sense that the games won't have definite favorites. I think we'd all rather watch Argentina and Brazil, but I'd rather see two evenly-matched teams battle it out than, say, Argentina bowing out to Uruguay and then Brazil coasting to a cup win.

 

[flapgreen]

No idea why, but I just watched the highlights of the penalty kicks. That was just pathetic. Way to go U.S.

 

[Aaron Rudnicki]

anyone know if the Brazil game is worth watching on DVR? Watched the PKs and after that showing, I'm not sure I care enough to see 120 minutes of scoreless play.
