I win?

Gratz to you guys.

I do think tho, that the coach for the US team should've had our starting keep in tho as it was working, but hey, that's life.

Had been following the tournament, though had successfully managed to sleep
in and miss the final. [Typically, for me.] Had expected Brazil to score, but I'm
glad the Germans won [note that down and save it for posterity, yes] purely
because I was disgusted with the Brazilian's reaction after the American woman
- Boxx - was so wrongly sent off in the semi.

There were some excellent goals, particularly long-range strikes, though it has
to be said that some of the goalkeeping was nothing short of shambolic at times;
Argentina's offerings in that department being the obvious examples, but I think
it could have been said of goalkeeping across most of the teams. Reaction to
crosses and corners were often shaky, and twice [or three times?] I saw
different goalkeepers throw or pass a ball out directly to a striker, to put them
in a one-on-one situation. Perhaps you could say they were merely overeager
to demonstrate their confidence and under-pressure shotstopping ability, but I
don't think that was the case.

Well done. Some of the women are huge though!

Women who can kick your @$$ are hott.

Most of the attacking play I've seen has been ok-the defending though was shocking, by and large, with loads of own goals and goalkeeper errors, and that takes the fun out of it a bit. The reason Germany won was that their defence wasn't as absolutely woeful as everyone else's.
