Still chasing Brazilian glory. Shocking for as talented they were - Brazil has never won a world trophy. 2 Silvers at the Olympics and 1 runner up at the World Cup - all under Marta.

She's only 38. I guess she started playing when she was super young. 

Wow. The 2nd US goal knocked Australia out of the tournament. They would have had goals scored if they could have held on to GD margin in the 3rd place race, but the second goal today cost them.

This might be the last image we ever see of Marta, a straight red against Spain. Not much to be debated on this call.

 

 

I will say this, for US fans, she is easily the villain of the story of soccer. But she might just be misunderstood. I recommend watching this video (spoilered for space). It likely won't change your view on her, but it might:

A 16-minute video about how Brazil failed Marta? I'll immediately add it to my favorites. :(

Lol... bro. They would have advanced on points were it not for the 2nd goal.

jesus, that was a mistake.

france-argentina a little more interesting after all of @Napoleon 's primos decided to sing a bunch of racist shit after winning some meaningless western hemisphere crap tournament that had nothing to do with them.

Egypt/Paraguay go to PKs.

 

The game also shows how much Morocco was being followed. That was a full stadium. This game is at best 40% full and I'm being generous. It might be around 25%.

Egypt saved 1 penalty and their last one won it for them 5-4. It was almost saved too, it was really close to being saved, but got through.

Team Argentina seems to be suffering from inner ear issues. They keep falling down all over the place.

i had it on mute and i missed it...what did they call to take the goal off?

They said the Argentine player got the ball and then in the step through it was a foul by the French player. Not just a foul, a yellow card for him because he wasn’t playing the ball but stepping on the player.

Wow.   Colombia beating Spain would be a massive upset

Upset, payback, depends on how you see it.

Spain can still sit back and count its ducats.

i didn't see 10' of added time here

our opponent from the canada-germany game kicks off now

supposed to be on universo and stream

universo is not hd on uverse (192) and they are still showing esp-col

 

German keeper wins it!   By slotting home the last goal as a taker #5.  Wow

Late goal from Brazil to take a 1-0 lead over France.  6 minutes plus stoppage time to go.

Meanwhile, Marta international career

There is 16 minutes of stoppage time.   Havent been watching the whole 2nd half, so have no idea what lead to that. 

I do like the ref for that match. She gives the big-eyed stern look when she means business.

But there are so many ... 

The only one I have the time or energy to keep straight are the Kazakhs. That's their right as the world's No.1 exporter of potassium.

(All other countries have inferior potassium.)

Years ago my company's HR department asked if I would be open to taking on an international assignment.  I said yes, so they asked if there were any countries I would not consider.  I said "Any place that ends in 'stan'.  Other than that, I'm good."  I would have made an exception for Kazakhstan if it had been an option.

Anyone else watching the Reconquista?

Morocco looks like the team to beat. Guessing we get them and FRA in the final.
