The yesterday's Women's World Cup championship game against Japan was
all over in 15 miutes. USA came out to one of the most incredible
starts I’ve ever witnessed in any sporting event, and it won them the
game. Or Carli Lloyd won them the game. We knew she was that old
cliche, a big game player. But we didn’t know she was that good. Take
away her goals, and it was a pretty even game - and the second-half in
particular was a more balanced affair. But then USA didn’t need to be
particularly good in the second period - because they had Lloyd. (The
Guardian)
| Lloyd
scored three times, the first hat-trick in a women's final. Ever.
But it was Lloyd's third shot that blew my mind. How
do you score from midfield in a cup
final? Japan's goalie was cheating
too far out, and without thinking Lloyd just drilled it over her
head.
All this after just 15 minutes, and the game was over, allowing us to
spend the remaining 75 minutes watching number 13's (Alex Morgan, wearing the skin uniform)) amazing athleticism. USA
USA USA! |

Is this the "other team" I keep hearing about?
ReplyDeleteI noticed that #5 had quite a bit of perkiness too.
ReplyDeleteSaw a PhotoShop with Carli Lloyd on the new $10 bill.
ReplyDeleteChanel surfing and hit the game (match?) right after the first goal. Watched the rest and enjoyed it because there was scoring. First soccer thing I have ever watched to the end. Man, those Canadian girls carrying the medals at the end were skinny. A non futbol observation.

ReplyDeleteWay to go girls! Although it's not a sport that I really care about, It is the USA and it's great to see our gals beating the world - Once again - At their own game, Futbol.
DEFINITELY NOT members of the "JV Team" that the Obungler likes to talk about. I wonder if he'll invite them to the White House? Probably not! After all, they are all WHITE and that's RACIST!
America has grass-hockey?
