I like Japan's team...they play clean...unlike Brazil. The best thing about the WC last year was that Brazilian who took a dive...got carded and in the extra time caused because of her flopping around, we scored and won.
Yeah lol. That's Brazil for you though. The men do that quite a bit as well. This is my favorite sport, but that is the least favorite part of it for me.
To be honest though, I think Japan were rather unlucky. Not only because they're a great team and play some great soccer, but because of the ref. Should've had at least one penalty call. Tobin Heath was quite lucky not to be called for a handball and Rachel Buehler could've easily have conceded one for basically putting her marker into a bear hug. If we had that shambolic ref from the Canada game, we may well have lost I'd say. I'm glad neither call was given though.
I watched all of the games, and you make absolutely no sense! Is that because you're from Europa?
Not sure what you're getting at, but do you care to elaborate on just what I'm not making sense about?
USA are Olympic champions and in the game of soccer, champions are just that because of not only their skill, but a little luck. USA got that luck in this game by not conceding at least a penalty that could've put this into OT and changed the whole complexion of the game.
Now does that make more sense for you or should I go deeper than that and break it down tactically? I too have watched all games for both the Men and the Women's sides.
