US Women's Soccer Team Beats Canada; Canadians Whine

Take that, you commie socialist creeps defeated by the forces of goodness and capitalism.  Take your health care for all and other share the wealth ways back to the great white north where it belongs.

We beat your commie butts, neener, neener, uh huh, USA, USA USA!

Oh, Canadian Prime Minister proposes new Keystone pipeline route which will despoil the environment and send oil to pacific coast for export abroad and make $ billions for rich investors?

Carry on then.

[During the second half, with the U.S. frantically trying to speed up the game while attempting multiple comebacks, Wambach began running near referee Christiana Pedersen and counting off the seconds that McLeod held the ball. She said she often got to 10 and into even the teens.

"I wasn't yelling. I was just counting," Wambach revealed Wednesday during an interview at the team hotel. "Probably did it five to seven times."

The last time came in the 78th minute, with Canada trying to milk a 3-2 lead. McLeod made a save, and Wambach began counting again.

"I got to 10 seconds right next to the referee, and at 10 seconds she blew the whistle," Wambach said.

The call was for delay of game. There was confusion on the field, because it was an exceedingly rare decision. Not another American or Canadian player or coach remembers the call ever being made, let alone in such crucial moments of an international tournament.

Regardless, the result was an indirect kick for the Americans inside the Canadian box. That kick wound up hitting a Canadian defender's hand, which meant a penalty kick for the Americans.

Wambach stepped up to the spot in the 80th minute and drilled a low shot off the left post and into the net to tie the game. In the final minute of stoppage time in the last overtime session, the USA'sAlex Morgan headed a cross past McLeod for the incredible game winner.]
