World Cup fans the final is almost on

[nadinbrzezinski]

Try to keep this on one thread... and yes some of us DO WATCH soccer (for me at this level)

[malaise]

1. Football

:evilgrin: :D

[nadinbrzezinski]

4. Futbol, you silly

FUTBOL!

:evilgrin:

[taterguy]

2. If they were fans, wouldn't they know what time it starts?

[malaise]

6. Not really

you always scream about the lack of spoilers because you're watching later. :evilgrin:

[taterguy]

29. I always know what time a sporting event I'm interested in starts

I just might decide not to watch it live.

[RandySF]

3. I'm cheering for Japan

I'm sorry, but my heart goes out to them. I just heard they lost their previous coach in the tsunami.

[nadinbrzezinski]

5. I am for the better team and for once GOOD officiiating

the last few years have seen terrible referring.

(Oh and reality is even if they get second Japan is already smiling)

[Drale]

11. It seems officiating is getting worst and worst every year

in every sport, I really notice it most in baseball but thats what I watch the most but watching the Bulls in the play offs it was terrible and there were some bad calls in the NFL last year and bad reffing cost the Blackhawks the Vancouver series in the playoffs this year.

[nadinbrzezinski]

18. We were talking about it with one of the people at the market

this morning. It is not soccer, you are right, it is everywhere...

[nadinbrzezinski]

7. And it is on

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

8. It's streaming for free here with Spanish commentators

http://www.tvpc.tv/LiveSport.php?SportID=816

[nadinbrzezinski]

9. ESPN is also running it

so here we are, watching it, with two conures and coffee

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

13. I don't have a tv in my office, ergo streaming! EnJoy!!! :)

[BlueMTexpat]

10. It's on the Eurosport channel here (in French) .... nt

[nadinbrzezinski]

12. So far the US has dominated

[NightWatcher]

14. best thing about it...no Vuvuzelas

it's peaceful and mellow without those damned plastic horns

[DevonRex]

17. Thank goodness. Those things almost ruined the games

for me and a lot of other people.

[DevonRex]

15. Omg omg omg.

I can't watch and I can't look away, either. I'm so glad they started Rapinoe.

[malaise]

16. Time for a USA goal

:D

[nadinbrzezinski]

19. THAT WAS CLOSE

[DevonRex]

20. So many good shots on goal, something has to go in

eventually. Some teams feel unlucky when good shots don't score but these women will just keep shooting.

[malaise]

21. USA blowing too many chances

Time for a goal

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

22. You can say that again!

[nadinbrzezinski]

23. The talk in the locker room will be amusing

[nadinbrzezinski]

24. Chenney is out

Looks nasty for her anckle

[RandySF]

25. I wanted to hear those words for eight years. *smirk*

[nadinbrzezinski]

26. LOL

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

28. Ha!

[malaise]

27. I really tried not to laugh

because she didn't choose her name but but but :evilgrin:

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

30. Listening to the commentary with the traditional Latino gusto is so much fun!

[malaise]

31. Time for a goal

42. And japan scores

There are reasons why you do not stay happy with one goal

[malaise]

44. Serious defensive error

Come on USA- one more

[nadinbrzezinski]

46. The US reminds me of the Mightly mice

to be honest, at this point.

[DevonRex]

47. That was terrible. Absolutely terrible. The Krieger error was the worst

But the two passes prior were terrible too. Shit if you can't clear it let the goalie do her job

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

43. Oy!!!!!!

[DevonRex]

45. Shit.

[Ichingcarpenter]

[RandySF]

74. Red Card

The Japanese player took one for the team.

[nadinbrzezinski]

75. On to Penalty Kicks

[philly_bob]

78. Commentator said average height of Japan team was 5'4"

Wonder what average height of U.S. team is?

Another observation: Abby Wambaugh smiles a lot, seemingly just at the joy of playing.

[malaise]
