Tearloch7 Posted August 9, 2012 Share Posted August 9, 2012 Hmmmm, I had no idea tackling an opposing player is an acceptable soccer play...........but I guess it is if you're wearing a US jersey.....unfrickinbelievable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bertuzzi Babe Posted August 9, 2012 Share Posted August 9, 2012 I'd rather watch a re-run of I Love Lucy than watch such blatant unfairness .. women's soccer officiating and boxing officiating are a joke at best .. a travesty at worst .. the Olympic movement needs to be dismantled and re-built from the ground up with not one Official keeping their position ..

Hugemanskost Posted August 9, 2012 Share Posted August 9, 2012 I couldn't agree more, T. I'm beside myself with the garbage going on in this game. This is the frickin' Olympics for God's sake, the gold medal game and it's bush league reffing and bush league play from the Americans. The ONE place where fair play and honesty should be the number one priority. Win at all cost even if you have to cheat to get there..........seems to be the mantra of some teams and if the governing bodies won't do something about it, what the hell's the point of any other countries competing? Just hand the gold medal to the US on day one and call it a day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hugemanskost Posted August 9, 2012 Share Posted August 9, 2012 Yes! 2-1. And what does Solo do after they score? Delay the freakin' play by HOLDING THE BALL! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bertuzzi Babe Posted August 9, 2012 Share Posted August 9, 2012 BS.....pure BS......... Too bad only one SOCCER team showed up to play...... and that was JAPAN. Maybe they should sign this US team up in the wrestling division next time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AV. Posted August 9, 2012 Share Posted August 9, 2012 Can't say I'm happy with the result. A bit unlucky for Japan, hitting a few bars and posts, but the chance to score was in the 80th minute. Credit the USA for scoring one their few chances? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pimpcurtly Posted August 9, 2012 Share Posted August 9, 2012 I know I am late but congrats to our girls for the Bronze medal!! So proud of them for all they have done. Americans will get theirs in due time. Karma is a bitch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DonLever Posted August 9, 2012 Share Posted August 9, 2012 The Referee God must be in USAs corner again as two potential penalty kicks in the US penalty box was not called. A hand ball was not called and a Japan player was pulled down with no penalty given. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hockeyville88 Posted August 9, 2012 Share Posted August 9, 2012 meh whatevs. Canada's was a bigger accomplishment because it was so unexpected. to come back and win bronze after the mental anguish of the semi is huge. the impact on sports in our country will be huge too.
