I pick US to win tomorrow 1-0 in regulation no extra periods.
sure it was, but a lot of worse stuff was not called during the game. You can call a game tight or call a game loose but you have to try to be consistent. And it's never a good thing for important games to come down to ref's calls. Hockey and football understand that. I think the ref was tired and wanted to go home to North Korea.Quote:

Wow. That was a quick start!
ETA: And again.
It's axis vs allies
USA beat down in progress! 3-0 14th min!
We're really sticking it to these Japanese ladies.
From 1/2 field! Hat trick in 14 min for Lloyd! Wow!
I don't really watch much soccer. This isn't normal right? haha
No argument there. Great game for the US. Well played by Japan, but the US were obviously on another level today. Crushed it.
The Olympics should be interesting. Germany and Japan will most definitely be looking for payback. US best be ready.
^^pretty much goalie's worst nightmare.
I think we learned our history lesson well... New tactic is bomb early and often.Quote:
