The U.S. roars into World Cup final with fierce win over Germany

[quote]MONTREAL — The U.S. is going back to the World Cup final.
In its most dominant, confident and convincing performance of this tournament, the United States beat Germany 2-0 in the semifinal at Olympic Stadium. Jill Ellis mixed things up with her lineup by going with a 4-5-1 formation rather than the traditional 4-4-2. And it worked.
Carli Lloyd was given the freedom to roam and attack as she was in the quarterfinal, playing in front of Morgan Brian and Lauren Holiday, who solidified the midfield. The U.S. had more quality chances arise thanks to a controlled midfield and a stout back line, and was able to punish Germany up and down the flanks with speed.
The U.S. will play the winner of Japan-England in the World Cup final on Sunday in Vancouver.[/quote]

The ref was bullshit but I'm not going to complain at all.
Damn, if only it was to be played Saturday. Then we can have another go around on the 4th with England.
Ooh it's lady soccer.
Still can't believe Germany missed that dot-shot.
England's side is having their best run ever and are performing better than the men's side has in a dogs age.
Well, this is unexpected. I was expecting a Germany vs. England final. Ah well, I was rooting for England anyways (despite being German).
Well, we tried.
Our team will now be executed.

I hope the execution is on display this week before I go back to Texas.
Sports fan who haven't been watching are really missing out on some top quality football. England themselves are vastly superior to the mens squad.
If we win the rest of the world has to call it soccer for the next four years

God forbid Japan to win the game. Can't imagine the reaction from your classic Muricans. Here's what happened when Japan lost against USA.

Wait...wait wait wait, the world cup's running? I didn't even know. Also, fuck yeah let's win this shit, if only so we can go 'lalala don't care we have the world cup' whenever someone tries to insist we call it football.

And why the fuck are you insulting the Japanese? For Pearl Harbor? For Hiroshima and Nagasaki? That's it, I'm cancelling my trip to New York and I'm gonna go to Berlin instead. Educate your people for Odin's sake!

No hitler, you should be doing something other than reichsposting from 1923, try painting,
Jesus fucking Christ Edvard you can't be that ignorant. I'll take that as a personal insult.
AMERICA WINS.
AGAIN
Aww man, Japan vs USA again. Brace yourselves.
I like watching the women play soccer over the men because they don't spend half the game trying to convince the referee that they got tripped by a player 20 feet away and demand a penalty.
Aw England. I felt for them I really did.
I hope Women's football gets to the stage rugby is at right now, with both men's and women's launching their campaigns together at the same event. It's a great thing to see.
