Now the USA vs. Canada game was a really different story. Nothing like the Japan vs. France game. IT WAS A NAIL BITING ON THE EDGE OF YOUR SEAT GAME! INTENSE! USA were the favorites to go onto the final, but Christine Sinclair, the Canadian captain scored the opening goal at the 22' mark. Time kept ticking, but the USA brought it back with a Megan Rapinoe corner, which went into the goal directly. May not have been a pretty goal, but it's a goal none the less. The game is now tied, but Canada comes back with another goal from Sinclair which gives Canada the lead again. BUT the USA, a team that doesn't give up, came back again with a goal bouncing off the pole from Rapinoe. It's tied 2-2. No the game isn't over yet. Canada responded AGAIN with ANOTHER GOAL (a header) from SINCLAIR who was assisted by a corner kick, giving her a hat-trick and putting Canada in the lead AGAIN. As time was going, the Canadian goal keeper got called out on time wasting, which is a very rare call. This gave the USA an indirect free kick which then lead to a penalty kick because of a hand ball in the box. Wambach slotted the goal to the left side of the goal tying up the game 3-3. Overtime it went.
AGAIN GO USA, USA, USA. That game will be played on Thursday, August 8th at 7:45pm London Time. Sadly I will be back in school for that match, so I'm going to have to wait to get home to see who won that game. But still USA, USA, USA.
