Olympics Results: US Women's Soccer Edges Canada in one of Greatest Games of All Time

The United States' women soccer team pulled off one of the greatest victories in Olympics history when they overcame a late deficit to force overtime, and then take down the Canadian women, 4-3, in scintillating Monday evening action. Matt Ufford of SB Nation breaks it all down.

The Americans will face the Japanese on Wednesday, with a coveted gold medal at stake for both squads.

This video could only have been better if the actual fucking goals were SHOWN.

Waste of time.

What a loser!!! Referees who make huge calls and then disappear are inconsistent and ruin games, and this is what that Norwegian bitch did here. Calling the goalie for holding the ball for too long was strange, but within the rules. However, calling the handball was a blown call as their was no intent, thereby not satisfying the stipulation that there be "a deliberate act of a player making contact with the ball with his hand or arm". Stick to celeb gossip, you moron.

Haha I looked at your profile..you have a mindcraft video upload..you're obviously some pimply faced virgin loser with no life, nevermind. Cheers!

[Stamkos60]

Haha the fact that you genuinely believed that someone could think that Canada is 3 times bigger than the US only shows your stupidity, hate to break it to you but smart people like me would look at a comment like that a laugh it off as an obvious troll comment designed to invoke a response from idiots like you, ad it quite clear that you took the bait, oh and this is the internet, you write a comment it stays there for a long time, lesson learned. ;)

I was going to call you retarded in the last reply, but I decided to be an adult and keep it civil. Now I understand that you truly are retarded. READ THE COMMENT I WAS REPLYING TO. He said that the US is 3 times bigger than Canada, I was correcting him.

I don't care if you are confused, it just shows your capacity to understand the simplest of things. YOUR numbers are land+water, mine are just land.

Next time try to stay current, this is a 7 month old comment you are replying to.

[Stamkos60]

I know you said land area, but im just confused as to why you are bringing up land area statistics on a sports video, regardless a simple look at ''List of countrie and dependencies by area'' list on wiki Canada is #2 in terms of TOTAL area and the US is #3 on the list, when you say water im confused considering Canada has 891,163km2 in water area and the US has 470,131km2 in water area, so what are you talking about?

[EnkiduV3]

Your lack of reading comprehension is your downfall here. Those numbers are including the water, and last time I checked there were no fish or mermaids on the soccer team. My numbers were correct for LAND AREA IN SQUARE KM, which were the five words just before my stats.

But don't take my word for it, go fact check me on wikipedia again.

[Stamkos60]

Umm Canada's total square km is 9,984,670 (2nd) and the US is 9,629,091 (3rd) (Disputed with China)
