Seems like she has figured out if she pretends to be fouled even close to the box she will get the call so Canada can continue to rack up the $$$$ by keeping the US in the World Cup.
    I don't think so. She clearly beat Krahn approaching the 18 yard box. It was so close. Krahn fouled her hard enough that she fell inside the box. In real time that would be very hard for any referee to make that call. It could go either way. That is soccer. Krahn got beat. She made a decision and fouled her. Her pace was too much for her. Even the German analyst Adriane Hingst said before the match that Krahn lacked speed. Alex Morgan blew past her.

      Ultimately, USA was better than Germany. It didn't need excuses to score the only non PK goal of the match. And for those "stats", the Germans really didn't get much of an opportunity inside the 18. Yeah, they took some low percentage shots from way outside, but Hope Solo didn't get much of a workout. The middle was really controlled by Team USA, and their counters were better than I've seen the entire tournament. USA was really attacking. Rapinoe was being constantly mugged, and the refs didn't want to hand out a second yellow. Show me a loser with an excuse, and I'll show you a loser. USA moves on. German apologists need to stop. The better team won.

        Yeah, saw that too. The German players feet never moved until she turned her back to shield her face before Alex landed on her back. I am not sure when it became acceptable for a forward to literally run over another player to get a call. She did not even have the ball because she had just kicked the ball forward 10 feet. If that works then soccer would get pretty violent as everyone started pretending they were pro running backs and just run through or jump on top of opposing players, roll off and get a penalty kick.

Therefore a red car was not even a thought. I believe she received a yellow card which was deserved. The U.S foul was a clear red card.
          Go back to when Maier fouled Rapinoe with an elbow to the back of the head. Why was a second yellow not given there? She should of been shown the second yellow and a red card.

            All you naysayers can pound sand. The US women are the best in the world and after winning this World Cup will be back to the #1 team in the world, as it should be.

            Women's soccer development in the US is still the best in the world so your daughters all have something to shoot for. They must continue the tradition of being the best Women's soccer county on the face of the earth. Be proud of what they have accomplished and lets keep it up for years to come.
            You right for only a handful of nations really have women's soccer. You be surprised how many teams that were in the world cup actually were made up of French, American, and British duel citizens who grew up in the named nations mentioned. They really should not call this a world cup but a soccer championship.

              USA vs Germany

              So what we are saying is 11v11 USA too much for Germany? We did get another goal just to shut up the naysayers.

                That certainly could have been a second yellow. The difference between that and the Germany PK is that was the foul was at the ref's discretion. The foul by the US has to be a red. The only way it's not a red is if there were no foul called at all. You can't call a foul and a yellow there it has to be a red or no call at all. It is not a discretionary call.

                  1. Location - Canada - Made it their home field and got around the fact that they held it at home already.
                  2. Draw - USA two main rivals would have been France and Germany, surprise they both had to play a grueling match before they get the Americans who had a weak China to play.
                  3. Calls - When they need it they get it.
                  4. TV coverage - The story is the USA that is where the money is for TV commercials.
                  5. Women's Soccer in the USA is the soccer mecca of the world for women. With changing demographics and new title 9 sports it is projected to drop, if women's soccer is to survive never mind grow everyone involved needs to give the USA a mass media boost.
                  USA has given up 1 goal all Cup. Including #1 Germany. Maybe they're just better than everyone else.

                              They are currently playing the WOMEN'S World Cup. THAT is why the U.S. public is excited. Plus, qualifying for the World Cup Finals is a great achievement for men or women. If there was a World Cup for moron's I am sure you would be the reigning champion.
