LittleHurt05 Posted August 9, 2012 Author Share Posted August 9, 2012 Women's soccer sure as hell doesn't lack for the dramatics. France dominates Canada for 90+ minutes, but Canada scores in the 92nd minute to get the bronze medal with a 1-0 win. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RZZZA Posted August 9, 2012 Share Posted August 9, 2012 (edited) Japan just threatened the goal for the first time of the game. US defends it well but they almost scored second time they threaten, Hope Solo saves a goal Edited August 9, 2012 by RZZZA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After the first goal, Japan kept up constant pressure for the rest of the half. Had some great opportunities, but couldn't convert. Not much offense for the US after their first goal.

RZZZA Posted August 9, 2012 Share Posted August 9, 2012 Pretty good game. Not as good as U.S./Canada, or U.S./Brazil in the World Cup last year. But U.S. got the gold, go U.S.A.! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danman31 Posted August 9, 2012 Share Posted August 9, 2012 Carli Lloyd picked a hell of a time to have the game of her life. Holy hell. It wasn't just the goals. She made 3 or 4 tackles that made me say wow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
