It was a good game to watch, some stupid calls on Canada by the refs though. Canada played well, gave the US a run for that win.0

what a fantastic win...and the refs missed calls on Canada as well so it all evens out.
USA is going to go hard at Japan after losing to them in the womens world cup last time. 3-0 USA!0 -
It was a great game that will do wonders for the women's game. Congratulations to the USA team.
Unfortunately the quality of the officiating failed to match the quality of play.0 -
Awesome job...especially nice seeing 2 Gators on that team - Abby and Heather Mitts

Terrible referee, missed lots of calls and made a mash up of it, and I am not biased as not American or Canadian.
I think its a pity that women's football is not taken more seriously on this side of the pond, as obvious by the half empty Old Trafford. I once took my son to see an international game between England and Denmark, it was almost empty other than children with their Mum's, and we all got free tickets, it is never shown on TV and is treated as very much second class here, and yet the Women's team play better than the men do! I think it's a shame, but even I find it a struggle to get my head round women playing football...seems so weird0 -
Kudo's to the ladies kicking butt~
Beating a team you were supposed to beat easily by one goal in injury time after extra time is not 'kicking butt' btw.

evens out? that was a horrible call that's never made especially in a high profile international match. unbelievable that the ref would insert themself into the outcome of the game like that.0 -

if the ref doesn't give the USA that gift free kick then Canada wins.0 -

the ref missed crucial fouls on canada that were not called and the US could have still scored if that penalty wasnt called.
and both teams had an equal chance to win in the extra time. the US stepped up...canada did not.0 -

And I hope we do it without help. It will be so much sweeter that way.0 -
And I do not think for a second the USA has any fault in this. The teams from Canada and the US gave us a game for the ages. It was everything any sports fan could hope for. Drama, stellar play, toughness, perseverance, you name it. This game had it. But the officiating was not up to the level of play. Simple as that.0

nobody had any help...bad calls are part of sports...the bad calls even out...and its my guess that not one single member of the US team thinks twice about it and its not any less "sweet".
keep your chin up...you probably will beat us in curling.
edit to add: i guess you are not Canadian. so we might not lose to you in curling

LOL BAM?!?!?
that was weak
as for the calls going both ways...yes that happens in all sports, but to make a delay of game call at the point in the game with everything that was going on was ridiculous. the ref should have told Wambach to shut up and worry about scoring instead of counting steamboats. but no she caved and made a call that no ref ever makes in a game of that magnitude. call it sour grapes, but that's a ref directly inserting herself into the outcome of the game.0 -

you know what is weak? all the cry babies in this thread. The US has always been the better team and they were better on that day as well.
at least you guys are OK at hockey. 0 -

there's a difference between crying and being pissed off at a crappy call.
the thing that bugs me the most about it was that it wasn't a missed call in the heat of the moment or a split second judgement call.
the hand ball call i can live with (even though i think it was wrong as well) because it was a bang bang call, but the delay of game call was total crap.
you're right the USA has always been better at soccer than Canada, but on that day they needed a gift from the ref.0 -

I wonder if it had gone the other way, just how loud would you be? I'm big on fair play, and if my team wins or loses I want both teams to be at the top of their game. I also expect the officiating to be top notch as well. It is not being a 'crybaby' to expect that in a game as important as that. I had a wander through the international press, and without fail they said Canada got screwed. Most of those countries have a much longer and more knowledgeable football press than either Canada or the USA.0 -

i may feel like my team got screwed but i wouldnt go into a thread congratulating the canadian team on a win and start whining about the refs.0 -
I am NOT Canadian and I think they were robbed, they played well and the ref was rubbish, but that said, Women's football is rubbish, in all the countries of the world that play football seriously, womens football does not get air time, so you go right ahead being pleased with the win, its like the World series...not that many nations in that is there?
:laugh:

they arent showing the brazil women's olympic team in brazil? i find that hard to believe. and its not like we keep watching women's soccer once the Olympics and WWC are over.
as for the world series...what team outside the US/MLB is going to be any challenge? none. maybe when the rest of the world pro teams get better we could see a Champions League for baseball and basketball but my guess is that is a long way off.0
