it appears canada might be dead last in soccer support...

 

Do you honestly think Morgan could have had atleast 10 penalty kicks? If you do then we were clearly watching different games. I'd say at most she could have had 2 that were close calls that would have been very hard for the refs to actually tell if she was fouled or the defender got the ball first.

10 was obviously an exaggeration lmao but if you think she wasn't being fouled out there all game, you didn't watch

btw, just a bit curious why you aren't arguing about all of the times alex morgan got fouled in the penalty box throughout the match. she could have easily taken 10 penalty kicks during the match.

 

Why aren't you arguing about the obvious hand ball from Rapinoe in the penalty area?

 

The point is that shit happens in a game and calls are missed.

 

Can you argue that Morgan could've had a penalty kick? Absolutely.

Can you argue that Rapinoe's hand ball should've resulted in a Canadian penalty kick? Absolutely.

 

I can live with stuff like that being let go.

 

What I don't like to see is refs going on power trips.

 

In my opinion, Pederson went on a power trip tonight.

In your opinion, you think it was a fairly officiated game.

 

Am I not just as entitled to my opinion as you are to yours?

 

EDIT: And, once again to be clear, I also have the opinion that the ref did not cost Canada the game. They were outplayed in the overtime period and, questionable calls or not, had as much of a chance to win this game as the Americans did. The fact of the matter is, they didn't come through in the OT and the Americans did. For that simple reason, the Americans deserved to win this game.

Congrats USWNT! Another gold medal which makes it three straight. Props to Japan though, they played a great game and are a team of the utmost class.

 

USWNT also gets $1.5 million bonus as team for winning Olympic gold, $25,000 per player from USOC. 10-game US victory tour awaits

Mexico wins 2-1 and gets their 1st-ever Olympic soccer gold medal. What a miss by Oscar at the end. He's never going to forget that.

Shouldn't have waited that long... Not his fault though. Romario put coach Mano Menezes on blast on nat'l TV. I'm glad Brazil lost, hope the CBF will finally fire Mano.
