Sinclaire with the hat trick. 15 minutes left. Normally hate soccer but what a great game by an amazing athlete

two absolutely bizarre calls by the ref for US penalty kicks. And the US ties up, tough enough to beat the US then they have to best the ref as well

xtra time, we'll see who is fitter. With the ref muffing the last out bounds play and turning it into a corner kick for the US she continues to be the wildcard

a few seconds left in stoppage time and the US scores. Hope the US girls are sending the ref and nice ty card.

Amy Wombach was apparently counting in the ref's face the entire game how long McLeod was holding onto the ball. Any ref worth their stones would've yellow carded Wombach for complaining about calls. Unbelievable.

For the record, Hope Solo had 8 violations of the 6 second rule compared to 6 for Erin McLeod. I can guarantee you the ref never once counted to 1 for Solo.

watched all the match from the second half on and was miffed, but with a grain of salt at the time as I was talking the commentators word for it and was watching a Canadian broadcast and do not know for sure how odd that call was.

Since read some commentary and comments from European's that saw the game and as well know what is normal for soccer and yeah seems the Canadians got screwed. Don't think it was a fix though, just think it was a weak ref that was intimidated into making a really brutal call by powerhouse players on a powerhouse team.

Hey, at least the GWG scorer is nice to look at:

And that's really what's important here...

Pretty sure this is illegal:

I don't see what the big deal is, what the dude did to fund him Olympic dream is completely legal in New Zealand.

Ironic that the biggest American star out of these Olympics might not be Michael Phelps or Gabby Douglas but McKayla "Not Impressed" Maroney. Rather than sulk about being made into an Internet punchline, she's running with it.

how did she become an internet punchline?

cool .... some of those were pretty funny

Not summer olympics-related, but enough of a WTF headline to post here.

Proof positive that Koreans are crazy (we are, don't kid yourself) and Korean-Americans are REALLY crazy.
