Do I have to mention soccer? Actually futbol as the world refers to it.

I spent a wonderful hour watching Germany vs. France and huzzah! Not 1 SHAZZAM!!!!!!!! rushing out of the screen to beat me over the head to tell me that i'm watching FIFA!!!!!!! world cup soccer.
Well every other professional sports broadcast does it too. They can't wait to beat the viewer over the head with the fact that we're watching NFL or ... ....as if we can ever forget.
I know that every sports fan hasn't all gotten soft in the head after 1999. So sports marketing has found that digital graphics are as simple as pie and now we sit through the intro to the return of every instant replay to be beat over the head with a shazzzammm!!!!!!! YOU"RE WATCHING FOX NFL FOOTBAL!!!! or FIFA!!!!! WORLD CUP SOCCER!!!!!!
Beautiful the girls soccer doesn't have that. Go Germany, and USA ! KUDOS! to womens World Cup Soccer! or Futbol as the world knows it.

Germany over France in a shootout

Best lookers on the field were French. The Goalie Bohoudi, second
La Forgez with the cute ponytail.

Go Germany!!!!
 
The interest in watching women playing football (soccer) is rather rare, not only in this forum. Anyway it is nice that you like it! :yes:

So enjoy the semi finals and the final! :thmbsp:
 
I watched most of it and it was good although I think FIFA really needs to review every penalty kick to see if it's legit.
Also heard some local sports radio guys looking down their noses at it while they spent 3 hours on NBA free agency..now that's a waste of time.
 
I played Soccer back in the 60's and 70's, have the knees to prove it, and have really enjoyed the Cup. The USA looks very strong, and playing as a team. GO USA!

Exactlly!!! Waste of precious time. cant stand the hype and $$$$mega fed sports culture. Soccer is so much more pure sport! No stoppages for commercials. and tough? Lose of player for injury substitution. :) . Gamewise, japan has eliminated usa before so should be a good game! Rock on womens soccer. Or football asthey say in the rest of the world :)

:nono:
I am not so sure about that...
It seems that Japan was very, very lucky to have gotten into the finals the way that they had. England outplayed them in the last match.
USA is loaded with talent, killer defense and dauntless offense, USA may very well trounce Japan.
Can't wait.
 
Japan did'nt play to their potential, what they are capable of, but England did'nt outplay them. It was sort of even the whole match, couple of close calls on both sides. I agree with "brian222" ,they will have to review all calls, England did'nt deserve its penalty kick, although they did'nt deserve to loose this way either.

Best team so far, by a long shot, USA, still, they still will have to respect the Japanese, one never knows. France can attest to that.

England vs. Germany

A great shot on goal by German DeBritz yesterday. It took a fully outstretched and diving fingertip save by English goalie Bardsley. Beautiful all around effort.

The women's pushing and shoving is for keeps. There's no holding back.

The men's game last world cup featured so many fake falls was pathetic.
Go Ladies!
 
I haven't been able to catch any games so far, but I'm looking forward to the finals tonight.
I think the women's game is much more exciting to watch than the men's...and not just cause they're cuter.
 
At the half

Wow! Carli LLoyd owns the goal! Pop the champagne corks, no way US can lose. :)
 
Historic first 16 minutes but not good play since.

Hopefully the second half will be more like the first 16 minutes for the USA.
