Heavy money going on Japan tomorrow........Sadly, our women aren't fit enough to compete against the better teams in this tournament and Japan is one of the better teams......Go Canada....in everything except tomorrow's soccer game.

Honduras beats Spain 1-0
so many chances for both sides
lots of iffy non calls in the box
i thought the Spaniards were going to lose their minds on the Referee...well, they kinda did
i can't believe the stuff these young kids can get away with...there were some serious shoves and pushes from the players to the Referee going on and the referee did nothing about it

Wambach ...

The "second" foul totally went the wrong way, no?

How shocking does a Canadian keeper have to be on her timing before she sits?

 

[girth]

The keeper from Maple Ridge is way better than her!

 

[striker14]

is Le Blanc injured?
i don't understand why they continue to use McLeod?

 

[Captain Shamrock]

She is rotten.

 

[freddy]

I predict . . .

Group A: Uruguay, GBR
Group B: Mexico, Korea
Group C: Brazil, New Zealand
Group D: Spain, Honduras

Brazil to win it. Mexico the dark horse.

Well, I was 5 for 8. Still going with Brazil (vs. Mexico)

Canada Women onto the Semis with a 2-0 win today!

Big match (obviously) vs the Excited States on Monday...

The other semi is France vs Japan.

 

[Captain Shamrock]

A well deserved win too, Regs. I said they would not medal at these Olympics after watching the qualifying tournament. I hope I'm wrong as the ladies over the last couple of games have looked much better defensively(particularly today). I still think in tough trying to beat any of the three remaining teams. It would be great to see the Americans lose....anytime that is a good time but I think we are still too far behind them. Having watched a few of the teams.......I think France is going to win gold. I hope so if CAnada doesn't.

Go Canada

I think no matter what they do from here, it's a win-win... the next major tourney is 2015 here in Canada and they are going to be able to say that they are top 4 in the World (and the last WC was a "fluke") up until that time. Good for marketing to the 13/14 year old girl demographic

 

[Regs]

Wow.

1-0 Canada at the half!

Go Canada Go!

 

[Toze]

THAT'S BULLSHIT X 2.

 

[Regs]

WTF?

 

[rich2]

shame on this referee.
