Description: The quarter finals with United States team of America versus Brazil.
USA STUN BRAZIL (by ESPNsoccernet staff)

"Ten-woman USA beat Brazil on penalties to book their place in the semi-finals of the Women's World Cup after a thrilling game at the Rudolf-Harbig-Stadium ended 2-2 after extra-time.

A last-gasp header from USA striker Abby Wambach forced the penalty shoot-out, which the Americans won 5-3, after Brazil had fought back to take the lead through two controversial goals.

Brazilian defender Daiane turned a cross into her own net after just two minutes to give the USA a dream start, but their luck changed in the 65th minute when defender Rachel Buehler was sent-off for a foul on Marta in the area.

The World Player of the Year dusted herself down to take the resulting spot kick but saw her effort saved by USA goalkeeper Hope Solo. However, the referee spotted a dubious infringement and ordered the penalty to be retaken. Marta scored to make it 1-1.

With the scores level after 90 minutes the game went into extra-time and two minutes after the restart Marta scored her second goal of the match with a brilliant left-foot finish. Her team-mate, Maurine, appeared to be offside when she delivered the assist from the left but the goal stood.

USA looked to be heading out of the competition until Wambach popped up at the far post to head the equaliser after Brazil goalkeeper Andreia had failed to deal with a cross and the game went to penalties.

The only failure in the shoot-out was Brazil defender Daiane who saw her effort saved by Solo, allowing Alex Kreiger to score for a famous USA victory.

The Americans will face France, who beat England in a penalty shoot-out on Saturday, in the last four."

  • @Garrett10124 yeah after the fake injury I was like "screw this, man"

  • @Garrett10124 I think the correct term is "twats." Gosh, get it right. ;)

  • Absolut verdienter Sieg!

  • FUCK BRAZIL!!! THE CHEATING CUNTS!

  • How come the women never honor a time tested tradition of the sport and exchange shirts after the match is over?

  • @datbrown12009 LOL you don't watch a lot of soccer do you? Otherwise you would've seen that Brazil was pulling more shit that the US throughout the entire game.

  • @datbrown12009 Brazil was cheated? More like the US was cheated. The PK call on our defender was not a foul and she was sent off. Then the GK saves the shot and it is re taken by a different player ( which it should of been taken by the same person who took the saved shot ) then Brazil scored when the person who crossed the ball was offsides. and the USA still pre vailed. Not to mention, that (Erika) who plays for Brazil should of been red carded after pretending to be hurt to kill time.

  • best game/day EVER!!!! my family and i were going CRAZY during this game, scratch that we were going crazy throughout the whole WWC!!!
