HawgWild: LET THE CONSOLATION SCISSORING BEGIN!

Volunteer my services. Literally.

That will do ladies, now get back in the kitchen and stop pretending to be athletes.

Good game, but it's disappointing the US gave up two leads. The US women's soccer team is pretty damn good though. I wish the guys were as competitive.

I didn't expect the american shooters to fail like that. I was wondering if Solo's injury might be cause for concern, but it wouldn't have mattered without USA goals.

USA just wouldn't score early on and wouldn't stop Japan from scoring late. US defense was absolutely horrible.

Another tsunami would be pretty welcome right now.

luckybastard: Stop making this about the tsunami... jeez. This is chickenshiat compared to the tsunami.

Says the New Orleans Saints and New York Yankees.

/ I agree btw but this isn't the first time this has happened.

so, we can go back to not caring about womens soccer now?

I'm going to remember this for a long time, because Japan didn't win, the US lost. We beat ourselves. Dumb defensive plays, poor clears, and playing not to lose cost us. It happened like a billion (American) football games where the coach puts in the prevent defense - which as we all know only prevents you from winning. You go into that shell, you're begging for some kind of ruin, you're practically inviting it. And the US paid for it. Japan gets credit for taking advantage, but the United States lost this game more than they won it.

Pvt. Snowball: Swoop1809: So close to having soccer be relevant in US. Nope, not ours, no can has

no
we've won the women's world cup twice before, no one cared until one of them took their shirt off

Exactly. The 1999 team had more personalities too, like Mia Hamm, Chastain, etc. Won it in Rose Bowl in front of 90K.

Some people thought that Woman's soccer would be popular, with a new league starting up....it closed after 3 years or so.

Adolf Oliver Nipples: Abby Wambach must be dying inside right now.

i would be more than happy to go in there and check

Congrats Japan. I hate that it ended with PKs, but the Japanese deserved to win it overall IMO. Great game though.l

Calm Down You Spaz: so, we can go back to not caring about womens soccer now?

Americans can go back to ignoring soccer.

The entire world can go back to ignoring women's sports.

Now back to Copa America. Brazil and Paraguay are tied in the 118 minute at nil - nil.

has anybody mentioned that the japanese citizens are suffering from ill effects of radiation, just like they did at the end of ww2?

/too soon?

4NSpy: I didn't expect the american shooters to fail like that. I was wondering if Solo's injury might be cause for concern, but it wouldn't have mattered without USA goals.

How long until the US's backup keeper complains about how she would have saved all the shots?
/again

What a choke job.

All you had to do was see how the US defended with a lead today. Idiocy abounded. They couldn't handle the pressure.

Total choke.

Japan did what they had to do to win the tournament - they took a less-talented team and waited for better teams to screw up. All of them did. Germany screwed around too much, Sweden's keeper left her brain at home, and the US couldn't be bothered to put more than one of its many chances in during regulation.

Tentacle rape for everyone!

/I'm buying!

Wow some dude at my bar just went on a homophobic tirade against the Japanese and all womens soccer. I hate humanity a little.

Calm Down You Spaz: so, we can go back to not caring about womens soccer now?

in about an hour.
i'll be going to a BBQ and picking up a side dish on the way. i think i'll remember something about women playing soccer.

i just like the chance to type in japanese.

and to be called a racist.

a racist with a Japanese godson

Yankees lost the 9/11 Series.

True but that didn't stop us hearing about 9/11 every second of that series.

Very true. And it was pretty stupid then, too. Humans are kind of stupid.

Ok, time to focus on the 2012 Olympics.

That was a good clean game though, well played.

bobbette: Wow some dude at my bar just went on a homophobic tirade against the Japanese and all womens soccer. I hate humanity a little.

To be fair, they are a horrible people.

WTF? People are nuts.

Nice 'stache, Pia.OtherLittleGuy: DARE DATTO!

I don't even speak a syllable of Japanese, but that's funny.

Way to go, Yanks!



/hot like Hope Solo/Abby Wambaugh sammich

Who is #7 on the US team? That's a stone cold fox.

One way ticket to north korea!!!

Oh well, at least we weren't the first team to get red-carded in a World Cup

Deadhouseplants: [cheezburger.com image 500x625]

I know you're trolling, but that's bullshiat. The first three American shooters on the PKs borked it up. Solo did as well as you can expect for a keeper in PKs.

Calm Down You Spaz: so, we can go back to not caring about womens soccer now?

Proceed.

/this wasn't about 'womens' soccer' to me anyway

First Japan was like:


and then they were like:



and just because, bringing it back from the other World Cup:

What a stupid thing to ask Abby wambach.. "hey..how does it feel to get so close only to lose?". Seriously? Hw the fark do you think it feels.

Drubell: Oh well, at least we weren't the first team to get red-carded in a World Cup

With that little time left, it'd be poor tactics to NOT draw the red card.

how disappointing..

Smiths: i just like the chance to type in japanese.

and to be called a racist.

Why U mad tho? I never called you a racist.

I just called you out on the stupid, overplayed, never-funny-to-begin-with Rs/Ls transposition schtick that idiots like yourself stick to like herp sticks to derp.

"But you see it's not racist because..." is the Tea Party's motto, too.
