OK, maybe not of my life. But of these Olympics, for sure.
The Americans beat the Japanese 2-1, with two goals coming from midfielder Carli Lloyd. The turnout was fantastic - the largest audience ever at a women's soccer final at the Olympics. Japan had some chances late in the 2nd half, but they were ultimately not able to tie the game, prompting this reaction out of Megan Rapinoe:
Apparently Rapinoe also took her shirt off at one point during the celebrations....which I only heard about when I went online and everyone was talking about it. DAMN YOU TSN FOR NOT BROADCASTING THIS FOR ME. DO YOU KNOW HOW IMPORTANT THAT IS TO MY LIFE AND MY PERSONAL WELL-BEING??!!
And omg Kelley O'Hara....when did you get hot??!!!
This reaction from Rapinoe when she sees her family in the crowd will never cease to make me cry though:
OH MAN, PINOE. LET ME HUG YOU.
The Canadians:
So cool. Best player in the world, finally getting the recognition she deserves.
Aww. Someone commented about how the Canadians seemed totally attached to one another when they went to get their medals. Definitely a very cute team.
And apparently still very attractive, as these tumblr posts keeps confirming.
Next goal? Let's get Christine Sinclair to be Canada's flag bearer at the Closing Ceremonies. Take to twitter now with the hashtag #SinclairForFlagBearer. Go on. Go. You will receive brownie points from all the Canadian soccer gods of the universe.
