now if your talkin about Sesslemann at the wc, she was wearing one her exercise belts at the time and forgot to take it off when she slipped, a simple mistake! here's a video that might be showing that the teen queens beliebe they can win 3rd place vs the senior, Mexican team(or at least the girls in this vid look eerily close to age of the Canadian squad)
here's a video that might be showing that the teen queens beliebe they can win 3rd place vs the senior, Mexican team(or at least the girls in this vid look eerily close to age of the Canadian squad) The CDN squad has a fighting chance if we do not have to dodge water bottles being thrown by Mexican fans at us during corner kicks. We should be OK as we have hired Donald Trump to secure the stadium.
[Mexico - Canada] bronze: 87' 2-0 Canada frantically chip/dump to a 1-v-1 at 6-top 5-left. Mexico DF has position, but pressured from behind, stumbles in turf and pops ball off her knee/thigh, straight up into her left tricep. 88' 2-1 Canada pk, #17 Jessie Fleming right instep off back of left post as #12 Pamela Tajonar stepped wrong way. +4'.
90+4' (of +4') 2-1 Canada fk at 26m wide left, bent not-enough to 9m 1/3 left. Huge scrum, two Canadians go down under a sea of humanity -- no call? Canada shield ball through box right, 1-v-2 -- lose it, foul? FT 2-1. Mexico wins bronze, Canada's kids get some reps. Canada struggled to connect at high speed in the attacking 1/3, and had too many players taking solo shots from way back. That doesn't even work for Germany
Congrats to Mexico. No water bottles thrown. Not sure how you enter four minutes of extra time with a MEX player faking an injury for 90 seconds and then a sub that takes another 30 seconds.....and then you only play another two minutes. There are some things about soccer that just really piss me off. Kinda like how I do not understand how about 6-8 red cards should have been handed out in the men's semi-final with URA vs BRA. A bunch of guys acting very badly and no one is penalized....or that MEX T+T Gold match with the garbage being thrown on the field. How was that allowed to continue? Most men's games I cannot watch because of the arrogant, faking prima donnas and some of their ridiculous "fans".. I have a difficult time watching BRA men or women play. I hope that this nonsense does not creep into the women's game. I am a relatively new fan to soccer and the only thing that has brought me to this game has been because the women play a more earnest game without too much bs. If you want to know what turns off North American fans it is crap like this. Having the WWC and now the Pan Am Games here has done a lot of positive things to promote the women's game in Canada. Congrats to all teams. I hope that the women's game stays pure.
The C coach once again decided to start his 16 year olds(in lieu of his 17 year olds, lol) but it's not a winning formula taking on good adult teams as he lost 4 straight games in a row. But at least Canadians don't have that 'winning is everything' mentality(like we got in the states). But yeah, we're stuck between a rock and hard place when competing with the rest of North & South America. You saw how bad the Mexicans fans act in the recent Gold Cup games, check this out how they act toward American fans at their home stadium . Not sure if that's water, beer ,or piss reigning down on them(it all tastes the same down there, lol)
Only in Canada. After 16 days of amazing multi-sport performances by almost 7000 athletes from 41 countries, they have this talentless Kayne West finish the closing ceremonies. It was total garbage and so far from anything Canadian that I know, I am furious as a tax payer that my money went towards this nonsense. You had people walking out during this so called artist's performance. These games had a 2.75 billion dollar bill. Guess who paid for that? This leaves a bad taste in everyone's mouths vs remembering a legacy of facilities, record setting medals total and a legit bid at hosting a summer Olympics. Of course, the top administrators of these games making their six figure salaries think this is great. I am all for these games but given the world's and Canada's economic situation perhaps we should all understand how fragile the bubble that sports lives in really is. People do not appreciate how much opposition there is to hosting games like this and the WWC. Kayne West is a total yek off who only turns people off. I cannot believe this decision.
