Scottie Posted August 3, 2012 Share Posted August 3, 2012 NBC commentary is just awful. "That might've not been a corner" "This team is getting better improving" "They have to they have a home crowd" They just showed the US-NZ highlights, featuring a post match interview with Sydney Leroux. Puke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sting Posted August 3, 2012 Share Posted August 3, 2012 Some keys at half-time. Des Scott moving up and Sinclair staying back a little more has made a difference. Taking advantage of left back Houghton of Britain is important. She doesn't have the pace to keep up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jcm144 Posted August 3, 2012 Share Posted August 3, 2012 What a first half for Canada, they are playing great. If everything goes as planned, its going to be a showdown with US in the semis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lovetoplay Posted August 3, 2012 Share Posted August 3, 2012 Can't believe I missed the first goal...logged in at 20 minutes. Canada is definitely in a great headspace. I can't believe the space and time that GB is giving Canada. But no complaints... A strong attack is the best defence...keep it up Canada. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rob.notenboom Posted August 3, 2012 Share Posted August 3, 2012 Apparently it's okay to run over Filigno several times with no foul call. On the other hand, Canada has some pressure ... would be nice to get a third and ice this, but a very solid game overall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am British-Canadian and have to say I can not see GB scoring today. this is all done bar the shouting. Teasing Lord bob about the bronze medal game. Anyone know if its a cupcake game or does forth place walk away with Nothing? Hey, Im a Brit. I'm new to Olympic soccer okay?

alberta white Posted August 3, 2012 Share Posted August 3, 2012 SAD to see soo many empty seats. hope we can fill all of ours in for the Womens World Cup. I know some people view the olympics as a "minor" tournament and the WC as....the WC lol Goes back to the old chestnuts of Coperate seats and playing games outside of the Capital(s) where the intrest is not that great I'm afraid. Ever been to Coventry? the real place that is; not that thing when every body blanks you.... Actually it much the same thing really. Its still looks like 20K or so turned up. thats a darn good crowd for a womens game in England. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AvroArrow Posted August 3, 2012 Share Posted August 3, 2012 I shudder everytime Matheson slides in the box. Often poorly timed and unnecessary. Don't slide tackle a striker running away from the goal who doesn't have control of the ball! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Okayy Ladies, Time to charm the pants of the UK press. a Mancunian crowd should be up for supporting Canada. Be gracious in victory and the British crowd WILL follow you all the way to Wembly. The Aussies nothwithsatnding, for obvious reasons, they would rather a Commonwealth County wins the Gold rather than the USA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alberta white Posted August 3, 2012 Share Posted August 3, 2012 I'd say the possesion stats would be irrelavant. take two excellent chances and shut up shop. Never looked in doubt after half time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe MacCarthy Posted August 3, 2012 Share Posted August 3, 2012 Canada got away with that tackle that should have been called a penaltyIf that was the one in the box it looked fine to me.

sting Posted August 3, 2012 Share Posted August 3, 2012 Why am I seeing similarities with the 1980 US Miracle on Ice (coming up). I hope such an event would occur but a little early to celebrate. We were the higher ranked team in this game but the three teams left beside us are all higher ranking and teams that we have not won against in years.
