World Cup
Re: World Cup
At the time of their bid, Qatar never even mentioned the fact that they would 'maybe' play it in December. And all of a sudden, it's in December.

One of the best, most intense soccer games I have EVER seen was Brazil vs US in the 2011 WC and Wambach's goal in the 122'.
That was just so amazing....

Awesome that Wambach is coming back, I really like her.
Hope Solo, on the other hand.......

Should be an interesting/rowdy match. They hate each other and Colombia stinks, but did beat France.

Re: World Cup
I think they just didn't want to run into prime time on west coast or something. No 'major' sporting events in US start this early on a weekday, well I guess Olympics because of country of origin and I guess this is equivalent.Artemis wrote:The game is in Montreal... 7 EDT.mockbee wrote:fuck me.Artemis wrote:USA vs Germany for semi-final.

Re: World Cup
Great match. And that friction' bloody head. Looked like a hatchet to the skull. How did they let her continue playing? She was still bleeding when the game finished some 45 minutes later.
I'm glad US got that second goal or they're be a lot of chatter today about the penalty kick call when the contact came outside the box.

I was actually JUST looking up when it was! There was all this confusion with Fox and FIFA or something about when it was.
I am actually at my site today, but I will call it early to catch the game, and do some more work afterewards.
It's 98 F today!!!!
Perfect timing!

Re: World Cup
Congratulations to the US women's team for a well earned win over Japan.
This game incorporated some tremendous team play from both sides as well as an amazing goal shot from mid-field over the Japan goalie's head.

Re: World Cup
You have a pretty country Art!
( I've been there many times, just the flyover shots are compelling
)
Victoria BC, Vanc Island is my favourite.
I was dissapointed they didn't do the same scenery shots for the men's Brazil cup.
South Africa looked amazing as well the cup prior.
