That was pretty awesome. With Germany and Brazil out, are the US favorites? ---

What’s Portuguese for “Karma’s a motherfucker?” Bet that bit of stretcher-based dinner theater doesn’t seem like such a good idea now. ---

Crap it all. Turned it off because I believed the announcer when he said, " that will just about do it." By the way the crowd was booing the ref and Marta, I bet they were happy. (Now to find a replay…) ---

> [@Airman\_Doors\_USAF](#): > > That was Julie Foudy, of all people. You’d think she’d never played the game before. The guy was the one saying how the game was going to end. I don’t recall Foudy saying much about that, although she does have a reputation for not being a very good announcer. ---

[Replay of just the tying goal](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JOAJn8h6VAI). Awesome, the Brazilian goalie wasn’t even all that close to catching the cross. ---

Yeah, it was Ian who said it would be over at 115. He also said this will “go down in history as the US Women’s team’s worst performance”. Huh. About that… ---

I thought he qualified that statement. Anyway, the announcers might have been somewhat bubbleheaded, but not nearly as much as the officials. The Brazilians scored both of their goals with help from the refs.
