With that all said, atrocius defending in the last 10 minutes. The girl that scored the winner, earlier walked right through two Canadian defenders with about 3 or 4 to go and cut it back to no one. How Wambach wasn't double covered in the box, when she hit the cross bar is also puzzling.
And then on the final goal, how come every defender wasn't back in the box with a minute to go? One central defender or central midfielder was at the edge of the box covering no one as the cross cam in. Also, strikers like Sinclair should be back in there for the last few kicks of the game, since it appears the Canadian defenders all appear 3-4" shorter and can't match the vertical and that was clear a few times in extra time, and likely through the game. Get to penalty kicks when there's a minute left, and leave nothing to chance.
Too bad, and want to see some of the blown calls. But Canada really had no excuse not to defend a whole lot more desperate as that game was winding down in ET.

Only watched the last 10 minutes.. nice...
You realize that by that time the Canadian girls could barely walk don't you?
Any blame on anyone for that last goal is just cruel.
