Yeah....just awful. Horrible way to end it. That will be her Scott Hoch putt.

I never blame the fullback for an own goal.  They are trying to make a play. If she let it pass, it may have been a breakaway goal.

When I was coaching I would tell my team, "When we score a goal, the whole team scored the goal not just the teammate that took the shot. When they score a goal, our team let them score."   This helped them play better as a unit, set up for shots on goal and play great defense on the entire pitch.

Kind words, but won't soften the blow. Japan didn't score the goal. Bassett scored the goal against her own team. That's a tough one to shake off. There were 100 things ok she could've done with the ball. One bad one. She did the one. But hopefully her friends and family will help her let go of some of the pain. I feel for her.

I realize that you are probably exaggerating the "100 things", but the angle the ball was coming in, and the distance it was from the reach of her foot there was really only two options as I see it.  Try to do what she did and failed at, or let the ball go.  Feel for her, but hey, at least it was nice looking OG. :-)

This is going to be the first team to win a World Cup without a single positive op-ed being written about them the entire time. Every single ****ing column has been about his shit their offense has been or how their back line has had to bail everyone else out. How about they're just really ****ing good at soccer?

Recalculating.... 4-0 after 16".  That's 22.5-0.

Well damn!

Damn damn. And I'll add a wow.

Was actually hoping for another Japan goal to make it interesting. Gotta think Japan will go all out offensively which should leave them susceptible. I'll predict a 6-2 final score.

Looks like you got your wish for that Japan goal. Then your next wish to make it 5-2. Let's see if your third wish gets granted for 6-2.

Dammit JJ! She's been great all tournament, but a couple big mistakes .

Alex Morgan is not unattractive.

Alex Morgan somehow has star power, but I swear keeps her head down and rarely looks up once the ball is near her- I've noticed that a few times tonight. At the neighborhood cookout last night, Morgan was taking the brunt of the criticism about our team- even from the most well-informed women, one of  whom played at the college level. I think her star will be waning after this a bit.  Overall, the mood was that we were peaking at just the right time though, and most felt we would win easily since Japan looked shaky.

I still think we dodged a huge bullet by not having that JJ mistake against Germany lead to a 1-0 deficit and a red card for her (and being stuck with 10 players for the rest of the semi-final game).

Yeah, but she's cute :-P. And a Cal alum!

      Best Shot of the Week

      By billchao ·

      Best drive I've ever hit: I will not be answering any questions about the rest of the hole. Or the round, for that matter.

      7 Wood

      By trombettista_vecchio ·

      I tried hybrids way back when TaylorMade introduced the copper orange Firesole Rescue, the clubhead having been made of titanium which was still relatively new even in drivers back then. I couldn't hit it well at all, and while the success of hybrids suggests that the modern ones must be quite good,  I'm perfectly happy with the 5, 7, and 9-woods.  Early ones of mine were Top Flite Intimidator 400s made by Spalding... and also made of titanium, now that I think of it.  I still have them in my basement. I do bag a driving iron, but it's a one-trick-pony that never sees fairway use.

      New Maxfli Tour and Tours Balls?

      By trombettista_vecchio ·

      The last time I played Maxfli balls, Dunlop was still making them. How long ago was that? Mostly, though, I used to play Top Flites (original 336 dimple model) when Spalding was still making them. Now I play the Pro V1x. Last time that I ordered some, Titleist was still making them. Let's see how long that lasts.

      My Favorite Putts

      By trombettista_vecchio ·

      Once, on a course in Middleton, Massachusetts that I used to love but has since closed down,  I hit the wrong half of a huge, UK style double green.  Then I made the hundred foot putt.  Tough to  forget that one.

      Are you a Better Golfer than a Year Ago?

      By trombettista_vecchio ·

      No. But if I can still play next year, I'll almost certainly be even worse. That's the reality of not being young.🙁
