Default Women's World Cup

All I can say is wow! What a victory for the US women in the quarter final match with Brazil! Down 2-1 with seconds left a perfect pass and a header into the net tied the game which we then won going 5-5 in penalty kicks! The US won this despite a bogus red card that made us play 10-11 players, a terrible call against our goalie when she blocked the penalty kick that followed and an off sides that wasn't called enabling Brazil to get their second goal. This is a storybook ending for an American team that refused to quit against all odds!

Caveated with the admission that I just don't watch women's soccer, but on a slow sports day, I tuned in and have to say the official yesterday made the fellow in last year's US-Slovakia look like the Durwood Merrill of soccer officials. The PK "rekick" was awful, there was a clear offsides on Brazil's second goal, and a straight red for a shoulder-to-shoulder challenge is virtually unprecedented.
