vthokies4life 10 Report Share Posted July 18, 2011 To many missed opportunities.... That, and our defense let us down in the end. The D played an overall solid game, except two mistakes that Japan capitalized on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan4VT 4,557 Report Share Posted July 18, 2011 I was on my way home from the beach yesterday during the game, so I was constantly switching stations on the AM side to find ESPN radio. But it was so nerve-wrecking to not be able to see whats going on. And the only time I can recall being that heart-broken over a sporting event were the couple times Richlands lost at state.

bluefieldRocks 14 Report Share Posted July 18, 2011 I thought the Wambach header in extra time sealed the deal.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deuceswild 15 Report Share Posted July 18, 2011 lol, bluefield rocks, that GIF is hilarious. I can't even think of a context where that motion makes sense, haha. And oh yeah, soccer. Um, yeah that was real sad. Maybe next time.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bhs7695 185 Report Share Posted July 18, 2011 It was a great World Cup overall and I'm still bummed out over the U.S. team losing in the finals giving up the lead twice. Gotta hand it to Japan though. They played great and overcame great odds to win the whole thing. Congrats to them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BHS03 99 Report Share Posted July 18, 2011 Definitely heart breaking but if any other team could have won I am glad it was Japan. I liked the way they played and seemed to have good sportsmanship. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VivaFutbol 10 Report Share Posted July 19, 2011 The next comparison I hear about a penalty kick in the World Cup Final being like a free throw in the 4th quarter of the NBA Finals, I think my head will explode. Not even comparable in terms of pressure and nerves, so to the American sports media, stop making a fool of yourself. Also, in my eyes, this World Cup was a failure as was the men's last summer. They did what was expected, make the final, but when you are the best team in the world, and you lose out to a VASTLY INFERIOR team in Japan in said final, you failed. A loss against Germany or Brazil and the girls would have been heading home with their heads held high, but the look on Abby Wambach and Hope Solo's faces told the entire story. Utter failure.
