Rose!!!

Great work by Lawrence there.

Yeah that goal was all Lawrence. Incredible speed. It's encouraging to see the younger players stepping up.

 

[Dr Pepper]

Marta sure whines and dives a lot.

Noticed it a lot in the Sweden game, and that latest effort against Buchanan was no different.

 

[Hyack57]

This diving is awful.

 

[Hyack57]

**** ya

 

[SensBrawler]

Sinclair!!!!

 

[SeawaterOnIce]

Lawrence and Rose looking good.

And Sinclair scores!!!!

 

[Dr Pepper]

Fitting way for Sinclair to go out...and I say this assuming these are her last Olympics.

Has she said as much? She's 33 now, no? Figured she's done after this.

 

[Dr Pepper]

Wow, Rose almost with her second!

 

[SensBrawler]

Why are they subbing off Rose?

 

[Hyack57]

Why are they subbing off Rose?

Going for a more defensive forward?

 

[SensBrawler]

Going for a more defensive forward?

I guess. It just seems strange given how well she's played so far.

Herdman's a pretty smart guy though, so I won't argue with him.

She's 33. Would be 36 in the next WC and 37 in the next Olympics. Assuming she isn't suffering from any injury, you have to believe she'll be on her way out after this. While she can still finish on her chance, her lack of speed has become more noticeable over the past 2 years. She was a phenomenal player in her prime though, and will at least have two bronze medals attached to her!

Probably the last tournament/game for Wilkinson, Belanger, Matheson, and Tancredi.

 

[LeafsTFC]

I love how we're continuing to attack rather than sitting back. Don't let Brazil have any easy chances

 

[SensBrawler]

Brazil scores.

Uh oh...

 

[SeawaterOnIce]

Ew. Horrible defending.

 

[shortshorts]

We're in for a wild finish...

 

[Soliloquy of a Dogge]

Let's go Eric Lamaze and Fine Lady!

 

[Soliloquy of a Dogge]

Oops, I'm really getting the threads wrong now.

 

[Hyack57]

Wow they dive a lot.

 

[SensBrawler]

Weak call.

 

[shortshorts]

Dive. Dive. Dive

 

[Dr Pepper]

Brazil really pressing here in the late minutes. Hang on, Canada.

 

[Dr Pepper]

That's gotta be it.

Whistle should go after this clearance.

 

[Tuggy]

Great job ladies!!

 

[SensBrawler]

Bronze!!!
