It was good, wasn't it? For the first three games they played like schoolgirls, but the last two like warriors, no pun intended. Excellent game and fun to watch.

Yes (IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif)

EDIT!

ADDED - Excellent Match vs. Japan - really on their game for that one! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/first.gif)

I find it interesting that our USA Soccer & Rugby teams are top ranked worldwide, while the mens' in same are middling at best. I think it has to do with less other pro sports opportunities drawing off top athletic talent for men.

At least the USA Eagles Men's Rugby 15s side (team) finally beat Canada this year & we're now ranked above them for the upcoming Rugby World Cup in England this Sept/Oct!!! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif)

Off to the finals gals!

Cheers! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

I will watch England VS Japan tonight. One of the two will get to meet the US Ladies in the final.

Wish I had recorded US VS Germany. Heard it was a killer game.

My nieces got tickets and drove up from Massachusetts.
They got home this morning at 7am.

Well worth the trip they said..

Crossing the border coming home was a major traffic jam though.

I am a soccer fan, Germany has an awesome team, USA deserved the win, one of the best matches ever. Those athletes on both teams played their hearts out, the U.S. Girls played outstanding and I thought the ref did a great job of letting them play but still controlling the match. Kudo's to your team all you yanks!

Ah, poor Elliot, you don't know what you're missing. It was a really good game, and during it I was thinking there were almost certainly a lot of Americans in the stands who were seeing a really good, competitive and emotional game for the first time, and were probably astounded.

It was excellent, take our word about that.

Yeah, I love it when they kick the ball back and forth for hours and the end score is 0 to 0. Excuse me, nil - nil. What excitement! What emotion! What... ZZZZZZZZZZZZ.

You didn't see the game, did you? There weren't any zero-zero ties. When I lived in Brazil I tried to explain American football to them. They didn't understand it, couldn't see how a bunch of overweight guys falling down and jumping on each other in big piles was all that entertaining. I told them there was strategy involved, like chess but physical. Out of respect they accepted that there might be something there they didn't understand. I never tried to explain baseball because it's too boring even for me.

One of the nice things about soccer is that it's played everywhere, so when you have tournaments it isn't city against city, it's a competition of country against country. We see that maybe in the Olympics but that's about it. It adds a dimension that's difficult to over-estimate, is very cool, and we don't have anything else that's the equivalent. I guess you'll need to take my word about that, but I'd like to point out that there are a few billion people around the world who already understand. I suppose it's POSSIBLE they're all wrong, but...

And hey, the U.S. women are in the final, playing against the team that beat them four years ago. This is incredibly cool, they're doing heroic shit representing the U.S. and playing their hearts out. Even if you're unimpressed just a little respect for their effort would be nice.

Baseball is for people who are into politics.

It was a good game. Depending on the team / game I feel the same way as Elliot about soccer, basketball, tennis etc. where it seems like all there doing is kicking, hitting or throwing the ball back and forth. But this game and ones like it is pretty awesome too watch. There was very little back and forth. It was aggressive skills, stealing the ball from each other to get the goal. Lots of talent and skill from both teams. My wife loves soccer and my daughter (17) has played soccer most of her life and is now on a club team. Sometimes my daughter gets on a good team and when they are evenly matched with another good team, then its fun to watch, other times its like watching paint dry.

As I mentioned before, my niece drove up to Montreal to see the game.
In the car was a woman from Brazil who was on the side of the U.S. since Brazil got knocked out of the finals on Fathers Day,
a woman from Croatia who was for Germany
and my niece who is a pale white Irish girl from Massachusetts.
Can't imagine them coming back through the U.S Immigration..
A woman with a Brazilian accent, a woman with a Russian accent and my niece with a Massachusetts accent..
Both of the women with foreign accents are Corrections Officers in N.H.
Must have been interesting to say the least.
I have absolutely no interest in Sports generally, but did watch the game to see if anyone I knew in the stands got arrested..
Some foreign people really take the game too seriously..
Everyone got home safe and they were glad they were there to enjoy it in person.

Last time I went to visit my cousin in Argentina all his friends were on my case- "Aren't you ashamed?" I replied, "Ashamed of what?" They said, "Aren't you ashamed to be an American man?" I said "No, why do you ask?" "Because of you're women, they are better futbol players than the men." Then they all laughed & I had to smile & take it. Remember guys, it is the #1 sport in the world.
