Incontinent_dog_and_monkey_rodeo: ravenssettle: LarryDan43: Or ending a tie in the Superbowl by matching up the kickers until one misses?

That would go on for days.

Eh, you'd start em at the 30 yard line and back them up 5 yards each kick. Chances are slim of two kickers making it to 50 yard kicks.


Depends on if it's done like a normal shootout where there's nobody but the goaltender and shooter, or in this case a kicker and a goal. I doubt a kicker would miss much with no fear of anyone blocking it.

80th minute, Neymar subbed out, Brazil 0-0 Paraguay.

Brazil's odds of winning are much greater now.

thejoyofpi: bberg: thejoyofpi: bobbette: This is women's soccer, many of them are lesbians.

Please don't say Alex Morgan or Hope Solo are lesbian.

You just broke a million straight guys' hearts.

...unless they make a porno. Working title: "Balls are overrated"

oh yeah that'd be cool


I'd download the shiat out of that movie.

robsul82: Boy, I sure hope we don't go to penalty kicks. God knows we can't trust Hope Solo for those.

I find your lack of faith disturbing.

Announcer: Japan has sooo many players on the field who are good on the ball.

Uh ...

Alright, we get it, there was a damn tsunami.

Oop. And we're back.

Right away, a corner.

they'd only have to miss one. Based on the last NFL season, I think that would definitely happen. Lots of kickers crumple under pressure.

Wait its 30 min overtime then penalty kicks? Is that different then Men's FIFA rules?

Fun fact: The announcers broadcast from an AWACS circling the stadium.

Alex Morgan with a bicycle kick to the upper corner for the win.

/hopefully

Alex Morgan is straight, there are rumours Hope Solo might not be and she was included on a list of "players you might want to watch out for" on AfterEllen along with a half dozen other closeted players like Marta from Brazil. But I don't think it really matters, because she's gorgeous and wouldn't have any of us anyway.

I'll be in my bunk.

Nope, same rules for both genders at this point.

Do they play sudden death, or overtime?

No golden goal. 2 15-minute halves. If it's still tied, 5-player shootout

OH THANK GOD

If we lose, i blame Obama...

Japan seems content to mostly just kick the ball out on defense rather than challenge.
 
2011-07-17 04:43:31 PM
Hope Solo? More like Nope Zero.

Hate to see all the drooling mobs in the stands and the viewing parties back home celebrating an absolute nobody. She'd be (rightfully) getting zero recognition if it weren't for her stupid name.

Also, who's #11? Let's give her the Colossal fark-up of the Year award for blocking that clearance.

Actively rooting against USA, ITT.

Good try Morgan.

I was wondering why the comments here weren't matching up with the action in the game. Then I remembered I had paused the TiVo while I took a phone call. I've been about a half-hour behind for a good while now. Oops.

"Don't jinx it."


YOU GO GIRL! I hate when a announcer talks about a no hitter in the 6th inning, and jinxes it.

 
2011-07-17 04:44:50 PM
I'd just like to say that, regardless of today's outcome...

Fark Mexico.

Ooo, no handshake for the Japanese player, rejected by the US player. And now she gets a yellow for her trouble.

They need to replace Ian Darke with Gus Johnson now.

I think you mean they need to replace Julie Foudy with Gus Johnson.
