Was good stuff, they did really well to hang in there like that, should get a great line for the final.

Canada go ahead 1-0, USA come back for 1-1, Canada retake the lead for 2-1 but only for three mins as USA come back for 2-2. Canada retake lead for 3-2 only to be pegged back one more time 10 mins from the end for 3-3, to take the game to OT, where USA score at the death to make it to the final.

That's the cliff notes. It was better than that.

Cool!

I have a buddy who is a ref for the men's tourney. He's been posting pics on facebook. He did the Egypt v Japan game...

no mention of the obvious 'fix' ? Interesting. Studio announcers after the game saying had never seen a call like that (handball that wasn't even close to being one) that led to the chip shot penalty shot to tie it at 3-3 very late in the game. Looks like the kick was even done to 'draw' the call...Complete sham

The hand ball call was unavoidable. The call that lead to the free kick was an absolute joke. Goaltender holding onto the ball too long. That call is NEVER made. So unfortunate that a call like that had such an impact.

Tell the bitches to keep their hands down and it wouldn't have been a problem.

There was actually 2 hand balls on that one shot...lol

Agree...tough call made by the ref on that one.

If you noticed earlier in the match that goalie held the ball for a long time as well...got to believe someone said something to her to make her notice the next time around.

I like soccer, but only watch the USA or Italy play with any real passion

A friend of mine HATES soccer, but he loved that game and can't wait to watch them play Thursday. It was funny watching him bounce around and listening to him talk during the game vs Canada

USA clearly get away with an obvious hand ball.
Very Lucky...should have been a penalty shot.

2nd pretty good game in a row. Seems more exciting when watching at work, it's better than well working...

Hope Solo I would bang but wouldn't be that excited to do so. Alex Morgan however, yes sir

Japan however, not a single one of them. bleah
