Let's start this sucker off right...

Headline is far sexier than the link. As is the initial missive.

VS.



Game on!

Women's World Cup trifecta in play....

Watching the Amazon women from Brazil play the Pygmy women from Equatorial Guinea to an exciting 0-0 tie at the half.
Not only can't these teams buy a goal, they are evidently too poor to afford last names either, as the vast majority of the players have only one name.

Swoop1809: Will Espn be re-airing the game this evening? 2:45 doesn't fit into my schedule

If you get ESPN, check to see if you get ESPN3.com. They'll post a replay of the match an hour or two after the game and you can watch it whenever you want.

Don't forget THE OCHO!

The Bestest: why duckface, why?!

Seriously, why do people do that in photos? Who finds that attractive?

I think it's supposed to be blowing a kiss. But exaggerated because they want it to show in a still picture.

yeah, it probably doesn't look nearly as stupid in person. it's like someone that looks normal in real life, but when they smile for pictures they look like serial killers. sometimes people should learn to look at themselves critically in pictures.

/I for one, look stupid if i try to smile. so, i have to contrive a smile by finding something to laugh at, and time my laugh with the camera. otherwise I look like I'm passing a kidney stone. or i just don't smile (easiest of all solutions, the universal non-effort method)

Ah, the ladies have been taking lessons in defense from the MNT again.

Haha, I love the Swedish happydance when they score.

Anyone else getting confused while switching back and forth? Both games have one team in yellow and one in white. Good games so far though.

I'm only able to follow what's happening via wiki, and I see that Sweden are up 2-0. Wow, wasn't expecting that. Looks like the US will be facing Brazil in the quarters.

Very interesting, that'll be a huge game.

The us ladies are playing terribly. 95 % of the shots are way off target. Nobody's connecting passes. It even frustrating to watch.

There's nothing more annoying then having chances and not getting even close. Sheesh.

/at least we're going through regardless.

GOAL USA!
'bout time Wambach!

There we go....

But that was a great, accidental goal from Wambach right there.

USA pulls one back. 2-1 with 25 mins to go. Wambach will get credit though it appeared to go off a Swedish defender.

right in the faaaaaace.

I think the last touch was off of Abby's shoulder, so credit deserved.

They get one back (finally/luckily). The women's team has had quite a few chances, although most came in the first half, and the Swedish keeper has been playing pretty well to keep them out.

Need fewer shots from way outside.

Dumping the puck is a terrible soccer tactic.

Shoulda got that one!

Annnd that was our chance...nice goin shankapotomus.

Borderline offside call on the Swedes there, would've been 3-1....3 extra mins

yikes. Lucky bad call

Well, good luck against Brazil. That's going to be a rough one.

Make the final 2-1 Sweden over USA and a 0-0 draw between Colombia and Best Korea.

Way to make soccer irrelevant in America again, team!

It's not like we should be that worried, the US is 24-2-2 against Brazil, all-time if I heard that correctly.

MugzyBrown: martissimo: Hey it's silly season and there aint any real football on, something to watch at least

If I wanted to watch soccer played by slow-footed players with no ball skills, I'd head down to a Union match.

how bad are they, my kid loves soccer and we will be in town in a few weeks for a game? I know the park is in Chester(shudder) but is the Union that crappy

They're actually 1st in the Eastern Conference of MLS, but then again, MugzyBrown was just making a knock on the MLS, not the Union, at least that's what I think he was doing, correct me if I'm wrong.

I'm just scared of going into Chester. It makes Gary Indiana seem like Bel Aire
