[Steve Tasker]

Doesn't get much more exciting than this...

 

[Mr. Pickles]

Anyone think shootouts are the proper way to finish a game?

 

[PizzaDeliveryGuy]

terrible.

 

[Native]

Damn.

Come on Hope!

 

[otello]

Brutal

 

[Steve Tasker]

Japanese GK leaves the line early....and makes a Fernando Muslera-esque save

 

[PizzaDeliveryGuy]

GG USA

 

[otello]

Over

"It's all going pear shaped"

 

[gianmarco]

[Bonzai]

Good lord.

 

[Mr. Pickles]

Keeping the ball down.. down?

Must be.

 

[otello]

Still alive

 

[Steve Tasker]

is this serious? 0/3

 

[PizzaDeliveryGuy]

Seriously?

 

[otello]

Not so much

 

[fruity pebbles]

Is there a rule against kicking the ball more than 6 inches off the ground?

 

[The Z Machine]

Wambach is ice cold.

 

[Doctor Detroit]

USA Soccer: We even choke against non athletic countries

USA Soccer: We even choke against countries with panty vending machines

 

[fruity pebbles]

Very nice. Japan needed this a lot more than the US

 

[otello]

The blew that one

 

[Steve Tasker]

What an utter chokejob by the US...

 

[jimmy b]

WOW !

 

[yellowdog]

:choke:

 

[Premier]

Tough way to lose. Sheesh.

 

[PizzaDeliveryGuy]

Epic epic choke job.

 

[The Z Machine]

Honestly, the US deserved to lose after the poor defense and concentration at the end of the match. They let up, and it cost them.

 

[QuizGuy66]

Well done Japan. They earned it.

[Native]

What a match. Epic final to a great tourney.

Congrats Japan. Keep your head up USA women!

 

[TLEF316]

HUGE choke job. Just brutal.

 

[Mr. Pickles]

These were not the droids we were looking for. :(

 

[madhatter]

brightside: i don't have to care about soccer for three more years.

 

[Premier]

The best women never choke.

 

[The Z Machine]

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

wut?

 

[QuizGuy66]

The size of this upset (Japan winning the whole thing and beating Germany and the U.S. to do it) is pretty much the equivalent of someone like, say, the U.S. Men winning the World Cup. They never quit and based on all the chances the U.S. failed to convert, Japan certainly deserved the win.

Look at Wambach, congratulating every Japanese player and talking to her teammates.....nothing not to like about her.

 

[Native]

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

Thanks for the reminder.As exciting as the Womens World Cup has been, the Copa America has been equally boring. What on earth happened to South American soccer?

 

[Steve Tasker]

#### Jamie Carragher. Seriously.

 

[jimmy b]

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

(sorry, thats ll i got to hang my hat on)

 

[The Z Machine]

Valdez had a great chance on the volley there.

 

[The Z Machine]

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.

 

[GregR_2]

Oof.

Happy for Japan, Lord knows that they can use some good news. They played well and didn't give up.

Proud of how our women played. Sad to see it fall apart right at the end.

 

[Harris]

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

And would have lost the brazil game....
