August 9, 201213 yr Author Women's soccer sure as hell doesn't lack for the dramatics. France dominates Canada for 90+ minutes, but Canada scores in the 92nd minute to get the bronze medal with a 1-0 win.
August 9, 201213 yr Women's basketball team down by 4 to Australia at halftime. EDIT: Ended up winning by 13. Edited August 9, 201213 yr by HickoryHuskers
August 9, 201213 yr I'm watching a BBC feed so I wasn't sure if it was on NBC or not. US up 1-0 early.
August 9, 201213 yr I'm watching a BBC feed so I wasn't sure if it was on NBC or not. US up 1-0 early. It's on NBCSN in the US, but I can't get it here at work so please keep up the commentary.
August 9, 201213 yr QUOTE (RZZZA @ Aug 9, 2012 -> 01:55 PM) Yep...Alex Morgan looks a bit like Derrick Rose with the ball Limping around in a knee brace?
August 9, 201213 yr Japan just threatened the goal for the first time of the game. US defends it well but they almost scored second time they threaten, Hope Solo saves a goal Edited August 9, 201213 yr by RZZZA
August 9, 201213 yr QUOTE (HickoryHuskers @ Aug 9, 2012 -> 01:55 PM) It's on NBCSN in the US, but I can't get it here at work so please keep up the commentary. After the first goal, Japan kept up constant pressure for the rest of the half. Had some great opportunities, but couldn't convert. Not much offense for the US after their first goal.
August 9, 201213 yr the refs also blew a really obvious handball by the US on a free kick near the goal.
August 9, 201213 yr Exciting finish to the Canada-France Bronze medal match That probably got good ratings in Quebec.

August 9, 201213 yr Fantastic shot by Llyod from the arc into the corner of the net, US 2-0. Edited August 9, 201213 yr by StrangeSox
August 9, 201213 yr Pretty good game. Not as good as U.S./Canada, or U.S./Brazil in the World Cup last year. But U.S. got the gold, go U.S.A.!
August 9, 201213 yr Carli Lloyd picked a hell of a time to have the game of her life. Holy hell. It wasn't just the goals. She made 3 or 4 tackles that made me say wow.
