Time for penalty kicks.
Don't want to be sexist or anything, but I never thought a womans football match could be so exciting. Consider me a fan.
… and the US has lost...
--- Update From New Post Merge ---
I don't fucking believe it
JAPAN WON JAPAN WON
Great game imo on both sides.
Damn. What a heartbreaking lose. Congrats to Japan on the win. They definitely earned it.
Simply, an amazing game.
Unlucky USA, well done Japan! What a game.
bullshit they got lucky
Such an amazing game. Congrats to Japan
Good game. US had one really bad defensive play, don't know what those two were doing during Japan's first goal. but congrats to Japan, as it is.
Japan deserved the win, USA choked so much.
Oh man, people are already out calling this scripted and rigged.
JAPAAAAN!!!! What an exciting match!!
Oh man, people are already out calling this scripted and rigged.
And those people are fucking idiots.
Good job Japan.
Now Brasil…
Mano Menezes is such a genius for penalty kicks order, such a genius…
Congrats to Japan. The game was pretty exciting, and they deserved the win. Both teams were trying hard, though, but those penalty kicks pretty much ended it. Can't believe the trending topics on Twitter, though… Pearl Harbor? Payback? Seriously, that's just fucked up and really pisses me off
And lol Brasil
I wanna marry Hope Solo.:wub:
Good job, Japan! =)
Now that was an exciting match!
Wow Brazil dropped the ball.
And Venezuela looks goood 1-0 beating Chile.
Congrats on the win Japan.
Brazil lost to Paraguay…¬¬ I knew that Brazil was not going far in this Cup, with Argentina and Brazil out, the only good team left is Uruguay.
Losing penalties like that was so ugly, Brazil, so ugly.
Let´s see.
Uruguay, Paraguay, Venezuela and who else ?

It's Peru vs. Uruguay and Paraguay vs. Venezuela.
The Chile-Venezuela match was truly remarkable (Chile 1 - Venezuela 2). Chile really had a choke on Venezuela the entire second time, even after Venezuela scored the second goal and Chile lost a player. As for Venezuela, their goalie did a fantastic job and they really took advantage of the opportunities that came along.
And Brasil and Argentina gone! The two finalists from the two last cups are gone! Yay for variety and surprise! (especially since Argentina didn't deserve to win, what with Uruguay's second goal not being called … )
Hoping Uruguay vs. Venezuela for the final. It'd be a great match considering what both teams have shown.
Let's hope for Venezuela ?
Nah, I'll cheer for Uruguay.
Anyone here thinks that Paraguay will make a good game ?
well, is the first time for Venezuela so, who knows ?
Things is Venezuela already played Paraguay (who decided for the seeding of these matches? it's so dumb … ), and when they played they tied with three goals each. So it's about as easy to predict this match as it was to predict the outcome of Paraguay's match against Brasil.
I'll be cheering for Venezuela, since they've been the surprise team of the tourney and Uruguay has already won this cup like a million times (actually, about 14 I think). But whoever wins I'm satisfied as long as they play a good match.
So, Uruguay is in the final….I knew it...
1° Goal = LOL...I love when there's rebound goal
2° Goal = Suarez dribbled the goalkeeper from Peru, and then, there was nothing to prevent the goal (well, just that 1 player from Peru)
goodbye Peru..Now is Venezuela and Paraguay
Let´s hope that Venezuela wins...
i can't wait until english football kicks off again, i want my regular Premier League fix.
for now i have to pacify myself with montages.

I cannot believe it! Paraguay won the match out of ridiculously stupid luck. Gosh, so angering!! Venezuela makes one goal, and it's nullified by the referee without real cause. Tie, and then Paraguay wins in penalty kicks.
What a letdown. I hope Uruguay kicks their ass, what a dumb way to get to a final.
And in the end, everything was resolved with penaltys..this is getting repetitive.
I did not want this, but the final is Uruguay vs. Paraguay.
Obviously Uruguay will win (Maybe Paraguay will surprise me, just like Brazil Vs Paraguay)

Man, screw Paraguay. Getting to the final without winning a single match is, in my book, lame luck. Going for Uruguay all the way. Hoping for no less than 3-0.
And yea, I'm a bit biased because Venezuela was playing such a good match and their players had a really neat style. And the referee stole a goal from them that could have meant a win. >_<
Paraguay has luck, but Uruguay has good players.
Uruguay needs to avoid a tie.
I don´t like how Paraguay plays, so, I´m with Uruguay.
Edit: But, we can still hope for Venezuela Vs Peru for the 3° place.
Caught a replay of Venezuela/Paraguay and totally agree on the bullshit ref call to disallow Venezuela's goal. And you guys don't have to worry, because

VICTORY
Yea, I guess in any case Venezuela still made history with a really good team this year. Really impressed me, they're usually one of the weakest teams in the region, seeing how they're the only country in South America where they watch more baseball than football.
Well, this could potentially get them into the World cup anyways, if their performance here keeps them going through the rest of the qualifiers. I hope to see Venuzuela in the WC.
ROONEY
I saw that game the other day on TV, my dad is really into soccer too but he doesn't really care about MLS, and he walks in the room at 7-0 and says Seattle blow. I think Keller is the real person that blows, he needs to retire.
Congratulations, Uruguay !!
Congratulations, Forlan !!
Congratulations, Suarez !!

What a fucking idiot. Even though it's an exhibition/friendly there is no excuse to pull that shit. MAncini did the right thing immediately taking Balotelli out of the game and sending him to the locker room.
I saw that on TV, at first I said "haha alright it's just a friendly it's not that huge of a deal he makes huge bucks and just wants to have some fun".
Then I saw him argue with the manager and thought "wow, seems a tad disrespectful to do that in public, seems like he is just taking this the wrong way, he's still a great player though"
Then he threw that water bottle..is he 12? If I was the ref I would have red-carded him. Totally uncalled for and just unnecessary.
I wonder if I'm the only person here that cares that Rangers are playing Malmo tonight in a Champions League qualifier. Anyone?
Wow, totally uncalled for
Wow, totally uncalled for
That video got me so pissed off, that goalkeeper should be charged for murder attempt. Seriously, what a fucking idiot, he deserved to have been kicked to unconsciousness by all the players in the field that instant.
I searched the net and apparently Elivelton (the one who received the kick to the neck) is doing ok.

Justice!!! Thanks for letting me know Captain!
No one here watching the sub-20 World Cup?
Because tonight's match between Colombia and France was groin-grabbingly good. Colombia won 4-1, epic goals all over the place. Also happy over South Korea's victory over Mali, which wasn't as good but I'm biased.
