World Cup

[ladypanther]

Oh well. If we were going to lose the World Cup at least we lost it to a country that really needed something to cheer about. Good for Japan.

Well said.

Japan needed this. Nothing to feel bad about. It was their day.

Hate it for the players. Later, a lot later, they will see the bigger picture. Hope they are proud of their accomplishments.

you know the ironic thing about that commercial? it was filmed in the nc state football tunnel.

[Dpantherman]

Its a damned shame that I know people this stupid

Well we still beat Japan in ww2... So in the end we still win!

Id respond, but he'd probably like that.

[Doyle]

When I saw the news I was happy for them. Way to go Japan.

[YoungPanthers89]

ill take one for the team, i guess i will have to console them in the showers.

[Hawk]

great game from start to finish...nice to see a well played, clean game without any controversy.

by far the best looking, but I'm not sure Solo was the best goalie, and pretty cool that Wambach get's the bronze boot without scoring a goal with her foot!!!!

[4Corners]

Too soon...

that's what she said

Its a damned shame that I know people this stupid

Abbey Wambach was the only player to go out of her way and congratulate the Japanese team after they lost. That lady has Class and Character. I absolutely adore her for that. The USA is a soccer powerhouse on the female side. I'm Impressed. Next year in the Olympics I would not be surprised if they brought home the gold for your country guys. Good game all around, there were some controversial calls. There was a clear off sides in one of the goals, and the Red card was a bit undeserved. But other than that, it was a very good final. Kuddos to both teams.

What goal was offsides? I didn't see any. Also if you take someone out on the edge of the box its pretty much an automatic red. Especially in a tied game near the end of ot. I thought the game was reffed well. The US missed way to many chances in the first half and it bit them in the ass. Realistically it should have ended in regulation about 4-1, but oh well that's how it goes sometimes.

[Hawk]

agreed...ref did a good job...the only questionable I saw was an offside call against Japan near center field that took away a long breakaway, but it was really close.

[DoWorkBson]

Had this been the Panthers in the Super Bowl I wouldn't be so calm and forgiving, but Alex Morgan is absolutely adorable and I cannot be mad at her eventhough she's a Tarheel.

so who won?
