WTF dat blackie was well over the line saving da penalty.....wat a fucken stupid blind ref ! Good to c the cheated usass lost to japan on penalty this time around. KARMA!!
@mtpleasantries Well of course me saying it doesn't prove anything, but take a look at any PK kick saved in the past 5 years, and give me an estimate of how many keepers stayed on the line until the ball was kicked. I'll give an over-under at a generous 20 percent. With every law, there is some leeway that can be given at the ref's discretion. Fact is, the law is the law, but as with real life, many laws can be bent. So, as a debunker, you might want facts to back up your debunking ideas.
''Technically, a goalkeeper can move only laterally along the goal line before a penalty kick is attempted. Virtually all goalies inch forward, however, and such a violation is rarely called.''-New York Times, 1999, after Scurry admitted to bending the rules a bit. With that said, the US still made every single one of their goals. Both goalies jumped the line early, the only difference is Scurry got a stop.
both USA and CHINA goalie's came out from the line prior to the kick, thru out this shootout...(which I know was legal then) but, point Im making is both were doing it. so even if it hadnt been legal move back then, the refs still called it consistently. Granted the USA goalie was coming out further than the CHINA goalie...but CHINA goalie was still, coming out...prior to the kick..
Delusional. I've been a FIFA referee since 1983 - it was illegal then and it is illegal now. The sole purpose of the line judge standing at the point that the goal box and the goal line meet is to make sure that the goalie does not move until the ball is kicked. I've stood there myself probably a hundred times. People complained about it in 1999 and have continued to mention it in various news articles up to and including today. What she did was called cheating - whether or not called.
@ulricksw exactly correct. tired of revisionists trying to make it okay; it was not. i would have been much happier had the usa lost but played by the rules. it reminds me of when derek jeter took first base on a hit-by-pitch - but he was not, and he knew it then, and admitted later. he should have declined the base. integrity is so much more meaningful than a w...there are a plethora of ws but a dearth of honesty...
I think until I was like 14, I thought Briana Scurry was one and the same with Whoopie Goldberg. I was like, "wow, she does comedy AND soccer? that's cool."
Was within the rules then, as most people have pointed out. Still, I actually think they should be allowed to anyway. The Brazilian goal keeper was doing a more subtle (though pretty noticeable) thing of coming out just before the player kicked. I think penalty kicks are extremely unfair to the goalkeepers. Either move the ball back a few yards or do it like they did in the NASL in the '70s.
Just like 1999 today. U.S. Ice Cool from the spot. Tied after regulation. Tied after extra time. Hope Solo did in 2011 like Briana Scurry did in 1999: saved an opponent's third penalty. USA went 5 for 5 in penalties.
That's why you never ever write the U.S. Women off.
What's up with all the cheating talk, different game 12 yrs ago just like all sports the rules change and that goes for NFL, NBA, NHL it's just natural that rules are implemented or thrown out whatever the case. At least the ref was fair on this one because she called Brazil on the same thing during the penalty kicks now if she wouldn't have then their would have been a serious problem. GO USA!!!! BRING IT HOME BABY!
July 10th is a great day in our soccer history. Today's game with Brazil was maybe the best soccer game I've ever seen. Proud of our ladies - now let's win the whole thing! GO USA!
@simpsonsfan2007 U know it, that has to be one of the greatest games. It reminds me of the men's game with Algeria and Donavan scored in the last minute or was it seconds. We need to take bring the whole thing home!!!!
It was 12 years ago. USA won the game. Whether or not Scurry cheated doesn't even matter anymore. If the ref didn't call it, too bad, she was playing the game. congrats Solo and Wambach for the win today :)
There is a New York Times article from 1999 that discusses the incident, there was no suggestion that this was allowed as part of the rules back in 1999
If you Google "Brianna Scurry Cheated" you'll find lots of hits that discuss this incident; they all agree that it was cheating, even Brianna admitted it herself?
- There has been no change in the rules since 1999.
- There has been a change in the way they are interpreted, to allow goalkeepers to move sideways before a kick is taken.
- Some other keepers in the late '90s used to get away with diving forward a little early
Think about it- if all goalkeepers had been allowed to run forward after the whistle had blown, they would all have run up to the penalty spot, why would they wait on the line like a lemon if that was allowed?
The interpretation of the rule in the past used to be that the goalkeeper has to remain motionless until the ball is stuck. That was clearly a bad way to enforce the rule, as the goalkeeper has to begin to dive as the ball is being struck, so nowadays the interpretation is more realistic: the goalkeeper cannot move forward from the goal line until the ball is struck.
The saved penalty should have been retaken, end of story.
The rules about penalties haven't changed in many many years. The way that they applied _has_ changed in the last 20 years or so; keepers like Taffarel (late'90s Brazillian keeper) used to get away with jumping a little way forward before the ball was kicked, but even he didn't run 3 or 4 yards like the US keeper.
I think the only reason that the ref didn't clamp down on it here is that no-one ever broke the rule that blatantly before.
You guys just need to accept USA kinda did cheat , did they deserve it ? i dont know, thats up to ones opinion. but yeah what Scurry did it was cheating big time.
What's this nonsense that the USA cheated? That's sounds like a bunch of anti-American whining to me. Even if it was illegal to move off the line before the player strikes the ball, goalies do that all the time even now. It's up to the referee to call a re-kick. Just like it's up to the refs to call an offside. Team who score what turns out to be offside goals aren't cheating, are they? No. But the USA get this special harsh judgment from haters. Nothing more.
@TheThreeved I take it you're not American because our whole country was watching and it was the biggest moment in women's sports. I'm a guy, but I love football. For you to say it was "boring" I find it hard to believe you were a FIFA ref since you obviously hate the game.
OMG I lost respect for women's soccer because Scurry did what EVERY OTHER DECENT GOALIE DOES. People are dumb. Is it against the rules? Sure (now), but so is diving. People do as much as they can get away with in order to help them win the damn game. Its a sports thing, and anyone who goes "I lost all respect for the women's game because of this incident" clearly either doesnt truly know how soccer works, or hasn't played a competitive sport in their lives.
@efhartman I wasn't saying that I disliked anything. I was making fun of the people that were angry about the goalie coming off her line before the ball was kicked.
@macgregor322 Apparently, citing that you're a certified Fifa ref makes you one, and that somehow is supposed to lend credibility to your claims. The fact that "everyone does it" certainly doesn't make it right. Would Liu Ying have made the shot even if the goalie didn't make an illegal move? Possibly not. But now we'll never know.
@chitasha116 agreed. i think Scurry should have gotten a lot more credit for this win than Chastain. yes, Chastain made the winning kick but it was Scurry's denial that gave them the chance to get the winning kick.
@artmurillo2009 This was 11 years ago, the rule was not put into effect until a couple years after, get your facts straight please. USA! USA! USA! USA! Good luck in Germany!!!! :)
stepping up from the goal line after the whistle was blown was legal then for goalies, now it isn't allowed. So no, the US didn't "cheat their way to victory." If it happened today she would have retaken the kick, but it happened over a decade ago before rules like that were put in place. China's goalie could have done the same thing.
@sunnyliv123 Can you provide the source? I am searching online articles of the game and all I get is you are allowed to move laterally but not vertically/forward.
@sunnyliv123 Sorry, but that's not true. In 1999 the goalkeeper was not allowed to move at all before the shooter touched the ball. Since then the rules were changed to let the goalkeeper move laterally across the line before the shooter connects, but s/he is still NOT allowed to move towards the shooter. Scurry was miles off her line illegally :-(
people if im not mistaken this took place in 1999 and by then it was valid for a goalkeeper to step up from the goal line...if the USA goalkeeper would have done the same years later it would have been fault and the oponent player would have had the chance to re-do the penalty
@gobbogabbs you are mistaken, along with everyone else who says it was ok then. I remember watching the game, being a certified FIFA referee at the time, though I was quite young and thinking "she can't do that..."
but she did and they won and scurry herself admitted that it was against the rules afterwards. I lost complete respect for women's soccer that day. Game was boring too.
@TheThreeved maybe you are right but i think theres been worst dissapointments than this one over the years....and thats what makes soccer interesting i guess!!
@TheThreeved lol "I was a FIFA certified ref" gimme a break douchebag. If you really were a ref back then you would know it was COMPLETELY legal for goalies to do that. You are fucking stupid.
I'm American and even I feel that Ying should have been able to retake that penalty. She clearly committed a foul by running off the line, a few good feet mind you, and it drastically closed off any angles for goal.
Probably would have changed the shoot out situation drastically.
On the save U.S. goalkeeper Briana Scurry made on Liu Ying’s penalty to set up the win, she dramatically cut down the angle by moving well forward before Liu kicked the ball, against the rules but somehow the save stood. So I would say that the U.S. cheated their way to victory...
For many years, I have always thought of that missing penalty kick by China's Liu Ying. I still believe that the U.S. goalkeeper fouled as she moved from the goal line before Liu shot the ball. I think the referee should have allowed Liu to retake the penalty kick.
@Baohuluxiake You are correct. Scurry "hurried" herself a bit. She commited a violation and franky got away with it. Wonder what she would say confronted about it? Good eye.
npr said when she pulled off her shirt it was a liberating thing for women...brandi said in an interview it had nothing to do with liberation...she scored they won...be happy
Remember watching this with my dad. I was 9 at the time. Great moment in American sports history, but yikes, Scurry was waaaaaaaaay off the line for that save, in hindsight.
@martin41808 "scurry" is the name of the goalkeeper." watch the damn video again." and its not cheating if the refs dont call it- you should be complaining about the quality of the refs, not the goalie coming off the line early.
@lacracker8 "It's not cheating if the refs don't call it"??? Funny, I thought it was cheating when it transgressed the rules of the game? So theft is not illegal if nobody saw you do it?
Me and my sister were at this game at the Rose Bowl, I barely remember it cause I was only 4!! I somehow still remember the crowds going wild, as Brandi scored that penalty kick. USA 2011 CHAMPS!!!
@pg86 Well, why not? It ain't every day that America wins a World Championship. I'm still savoring the National Championship the Carolina Hurricanes won for my state five ears ago. Things like that are priceless memories.
To be honest... I only watch this to see again the moment when Brandi Chastain took off her shirt... I bet this final is more remembered by that than the usa victory in itself...
@people if you're from china how are u on the internet? I thought u weren't allowed to communicate with the outside world lol and to everyone else GET OVER IT it was 12 years ago fuck!
congratulation on USA team, but the goalkeeper moved firstly . Anyway China didn't stop anyone of the penalty unluckily. It's a great game. -from China
penalty rules have been in place for decades,look it up bom.in response to Kwaj what are talking about firstly soccer-NFL dont compare the two. i played in england ive been a spurs supporter since 1962 and a situation of this magnitude has never occured until in world cup play in men's let alone womens.and wher are you coming from bringing the nba into it ,you also say "scurry"wtf is that.ITS WAS ENCROACHING or in better terms CHEATING.watch the damn video again . thumbs up The FreekickGods....

Man, are people STILL aching about Scurry and the goal line? Calls get missed in sports; it happens. In the NFL there's been legitimate touchdowns that weren't allowed. In the Majors there's been runners called safe at the plate even though they were tagged out. How many goals in the NHL were scored with high sticks? Plenty. And lord knows the NBA has missed a few traveling calls.
I am very suprised no one has said anything about what a farce this is..Please check the fifa rules on penalty kicks and you will notice the u.s keeper advances off her line on every one.the result would be a warning then a yellow and ultimately a sending off this is a disgrace u.s did not win.
It's hard to believe this was 11 years ago! I thought it was amazing to see over 90,000 people attend that game. Where did the time go? I miss watching players like Mia Hamm, Brandi Chastain, and Julie Fowdy. Simply outstanding and memorable.
@AlexysTexas97 Wrong. After the ball is Kicked she can go out. So that goal had to be invalidated and did the shoot again til the Keeper do not move forward from her/his place. The rules are the same for men and women.
@MsCRAZYJBFAN you're not allowed to step forward off the line until the ball is kicked. watch her when she saves the ball ... she moves like 4 steps out . cheater! but its okay because usa won anyways
@penguinluvr455 she moves forward like 4 steps before the ball is even touched. idk what the ref was looking at but she should have called it on every kick, especially the one she ended up saving.
what truly baffles me yet has so much irony is that American's will not embrace their national team when we claim to be the most patriotic people on earth...nation of ignorant hypocrites.
Sure it was a great win but the ref. should have called back the save by the US goal keeper. The rules says "The goalkeeper must remain between the goal-posts on his/her goal-line until the ball has been kicked".

You know the funny thing is here in the United States, our Men's soccer team is not really that great. But our women's soccer team is one of the best in the world. In fact, a lot of the most popular superstar soccer players in the United States are women soccer players. There aren't many star men's soccer players if not any at all.

@sunnyliv123 Can you provide the source? I am searching online articles of the game and all I get is you are allowed to move laterally but not vertically/forward.

@sunnyliv123 you should google up the rule before making comments here!
ctnc229 6 months ago
@sunnyliv123 Sorry, but that's not true. In 1999 the goalkeeper was not allowed to move at all before the shooter touched the ball. Since then the rules were changed to let the goalkeeper move laterally across the line before the shooter connects, but s/he is still NOT allowed to move towards the shooter. Scurry was miles off her line illegally :-(

people if im not mistaken this took place in 1999 and by then it was valid for a goalkeeper to step up from the goal line...if the USA goalkeeper would have done the same years later it would have been fault and the oponent player would have had the chance to re-do the penalty

@gobbogabbs you are mistaken, along with everyone else who says it was ok then. I remember watching the game, being a certified FIFA referee at the time, though I was quite young and thinking "she can't do that..."
but she did and they won and scurry herself admitted that it was against the rules afterwards. I lost complete respect for women's soccer that day. Game was boring too.

@TheThreeved maybe you are right but i think theres been worst dissapointments than this one over the years....and thats what makes soccer interesting i guess!!

@TheThreeved lol "I was a FIFA certified ref" gimme a break douchebag. If you really were a ref back then you would know it was COMPLETELY legal for goalies to do that. You are fucking stupid.

I'm American and even I feel that Ying should have been able to retake that penalty. She clearly committed a foul by running off the line, a few good feet mind you, and it drastically closed off any angles for goal.
Probably would have changed the shoot out situation drastically.
gotshroomz 8 months ago
On the save U.S. goalkeeper Briana Scurry made on Liu Ying’s penalty to set up the win, she dramatically cut down the angle by moving well forward before Liu kicked the ball, against the rules but somehow the save stood. So I would say that the U.S. cheated their way to victory...
Baohuluxiake 8 months ago
@Baohuluxiake The rules back in 1999 allowed this, if you play close attention the Chinese goal keeper moved up as well.
HandDownMansDown 7 months ago
For many years, I have always thought of that missing penalty kick by China's Liu Ying. I still believe that the U.S. goalkeeper fouled as she moved from the goal line before Liu shot the ball. I think the referee should have allowed Liu to retake the penalty kick.
Baohuluxiake 8 months ago
@Baohuluxiake You are correct. Scurry "hurried" herself a bit. She commited a violation and franky got away with it. Wonder what she would say confronted about it? Good eye.

@martin41808 "scurry" is the name of the goalkeeper." watch the damn video again." and its not cheating if the refs dont call it- you should be complaining about the quality of the refs, not the goalie coming off the line early.

Man, are people STILL aching about Scurry and the goal line? Calls get missed in sports; it happens. In the NFL there's been legitimate touchdowns that weren't allowed. In the Majors there's been runners called safe at the plate even though they were tagged out. How many goals in the NHL were scored with high sticks? Plenty. And lord knows the NBA has missed a few traveling calls.
Kwaj 1 year ago
I am very suprised no one has said anything about what a farce this is..Please check the fifa rules on penalty kicks and you will notice the u.s keeper advances off her line on every one.the result would be a warning then a yellow and ultimately a sending off this is a disgrace u.s did not win.

@AlexysTexas97 Wrong. After the ball is Kicked she can go out. So that goal had to be invalidated and did the shoot again til the Keeper do not move forward from her/his place. The rules are the same for men and women.

Scurry's save was invalid. She is clearly moving 1 maybe even 2 steps before the chinese player kicks the ball.

Sure it was a great win but the ref. should have called back the save by the US goal keeper. The rules says "The goalkeeper must remain between the goal-posts on his/her goal-line until the ball has been kicked".
She was way off the line (for all the kicks).

You know the funny thing is here in the United States, our Men's soccer team is not really that great. But our women's soccer team is one of the best in the world. In fact, a lot of the most popular superstar soccer players in the United States are women soccer players. There aren't many star men's soccer players if not any at all.
