Holy shit what a game - US, 1-0 in overtime.

Damn you, damn you straight to hell.

yeowch. dude sorry - you were gonna like not peek at the score before you watched your recording? but damn it's still way worth watching! It was by far US' best game this tournament and the best game I saw in this Olympics. Marta was amazing sick. Actually I thought Brazil dominated for larger part of the game, but not all the time by any means and never by much.

haha. Yeah man, I'm still going to watch it. I was kidding, I have the espn website up anyway. I didn't watch any footage but I saw the final score when clicking around. Can't wait to watch it tonight. Both teams are great; I'm sure it's as exciting as you say.

Wow what a bunch of idiots at yahoo. They have it that US limped behind Brazil for most of the game and were only lucky that they won, saying they were outplayed and overwhelmed. Fuck that - not true. Then, of the fifteen pics they put up with the article, how many feature Natasha Kai? 15. Now, she is interesting to look at, but she didn't even go in until I think the second OT. Fucking idiots. Zero cred.

Every time I read crap like that, I think about medieval personal combat. There isn't any "outplayed" or "overwhelmed". It's who is standing at the end. There is a perfect example of it from the Viking on Viking combat in "The 13th Warrior", where the small guy is getting his ass kicked right up until the moment he kills his opponent. Linky

I finally watched the game this morning. Good match, fun to watch. And what a shot by Carli Lloyd. I don't know how those three defenders let her take that shot.

Although, Brazil did control the pace most of the game, I don't feel that the US was "overwhelmed" or "outplayed." In this game controlling the ball doesn't mean shit if you can't put it in the net. And, luckily for the US, Hope Solo(GK) was on point. She had an incredible game.

Hadn't been able to watch much this week, but did stay up to watch Lolo Jones fall down. I give it to her I thought she was very graceful in defeat, course I could be biased by her looks and that she is a TIGER.

Geaux Tigers!!
