Not intentional hand to ball,you dont give a penalty at that point in the game unless intentional....and the way they got the penatly was a terrible free kick given...

The gold has an asterisk beside it *shrug*

Japan are going to walk the final.

They are the current World Champions and in order to get to the final they've beaten teams like Brazil that would wipe the floor with this joke USA team.

typical americans dont worry we will get back to our beautiful water, ironclad pensions and ohip plans once this is over

u share that water

 

[Nemesis]

Can't do that.

that picture shows exactly why it wasnt a penalty.....if you actually knew anything about the rules of the game rather than being a casual observer you would know that if a ball is about to hit you in your face and you shielded your face with your hands its never a penalty...especially at close distance.....

I don't remember the refs handing us that game. Ref was fukking garbage. Even if Canada won and got jobbed like that...I'd be very quiet.

Hey, yall still got that, now if we cheat in Soichi against you guys

Ball wasn't going to hit her in the face. It was gonna hit her shoulder.

Nevermind that. We beat Canada as usual. Tim to watch bball.

 

[JBone4eva]

So yall gonna act like basketball isn't on and continue prattling about a finished soccer match eh? o aight.

They allowed the tying goal on 2 horrible calls in the last 10mins..sorry breh the time of it matters...without it you have 2 and no gold medal game...

I wont care tmw im sure neither will you...

True.

Going for a comfortable 2-0 win for Japan then and not the rout that their superior ability deserves.

 

[Muzion]

Those highlights from that women's Japan-France game

looked even more entertaining than the game we just watched

 

[Roaden Polynice]

Enough about the handball, Canada were outplayed for large portions of the match, only saved by Sinclair on select occasions. We just have that little bit extra, more quality etc.

You lose Canada, like you always do, thems the breaks

Now I fully expect the World Cup loss to galvanize us into Gold. We'll have that, thank you very much.
