I really shouldn't care, to be honest. sure, they fluked it like LA did to win two cups. The only people saying this were pulling for the US. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Couldn't score from open play, got lucky with penalties, blah blah blah, doesn't matter when they won. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tortorella's Rant Posted August 6, 2021 Share Posted August 6, 2021 Mo Ahmed killed in the final stretch of the 5000m. When everyone else was starting to gas except for the first place guy, he stepped up another notch and went from 5th or 6th to 2nd. I found myself yelling at the TV cheering him on.. in my head. 1 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tortorella's Rant Posted August 6, 2021 Share Posted August 6, 2021 11th overall in medal count/more gold. A step up from previous years especially when we look at where we floundered a few times when we could have challenged and didn't, but that's true across the board where favorites from other countries may have had the same issue.

Gnarcore Posted August 6, 2021 Share Posted August 6, 2021 (edited) If I got up and watched I would have been asleep at work by now. Covering a desk shift due to the mass labour shortage in this town. Tourists flock up and bitch and moan that things aren't perfect. Soon we'll have Americans back ...uhg... But none of that matters after I got to work and watched the highlights of the shoot out! So happy for SInclair and the rest of the team!

PhillipBlunt Posted August 6, 2021 Share Posted August 6, 2021 (edited) Main reason Sweden lost? Counting on someone with a certain last name to come through with a timely goal. Excerpt from Derek van Diest's article, Canada wins Olympic gold over Sweden on Julia Grosso penalty in women's soccer final, in the National Post. "Sweden’s first good chance came 10 minutes into the game when the ball fell to Magdalena Eriksson at the corner of the penalty area and her shot flashed across the face of the net." Edited August 6, 2021 by PhillipBlunt realized penalty is the correct term 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They should amend the title to say "penalty kick goal" rather than "penalty". "Sweden’s first good chance came 10 minutes into the game when the ball fell to Magdalena Eriksson at the corner of the penalty area and her shot flashed across the face of the net." If only the net had been empty Sweden, if only…what might have been… 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure who the defender was (Buchanan?) but along with Steph Labbe, they kept out what looked like a sure game winner for the Swedes..... Speaking of D Rose though, I thought she was fantastic and a bit unlucky not to bury one in regulation. Great substitution by Priestman, who also deserves a tonne of credit for this win....

RUPERTKBD Posted August 6, 2021 Share Posted August 6, 2021 BTW, I hope Fleming gets a T-Shirt made up with a pic of her gold medal and the caption "IT CAME HOME!", so she can wear it when she goes back to play for Chelsea.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post BlueDragon23 Posted August 6, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted August 6, 2021 Christine Sinclair deserved that gold more than anything. She has carried Canadian soccer and women’s soccer in general on her shoulders for the last 20 years. Could not ask for a more fitting end to her amazing career! 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldnews Posted August 6, 2021 Share Posted August 6, 2021 haha - perhaps a little ironic that the men's team 'stole' the women's teams' coach - and then the women go on to win gold with a woman coach.... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldnews Posted August 6, 2021 Share Posted August 6, 2021 kudos to Labbe for not 'handing' out a few face slaps in that match. if not a slap, at least one yellow card was called for imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While not being a trash person like the last few big US 'stars' on the women's team. So happy she was able to get this to round out her amazing career. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
