In a surprise twist the Canadian women's soccer team is currently beating multiple-time world champions Germany 2-1 in around the 60th minute of play.

They made changes to try and not win because finishing 2nd gives them a better draw.
Also if NZ score 1 more and this result holds Germany could Face the US in the QF as Germany would finish 3rd in the group.

Doesn't Germany need a point?

Lol, just like Gilligan's Island, the commentators just answered me...so yeah, Germany could be in trouble, depending on Australia.

That was the first ever victory over Germany by a Canadian women's soccer time at the international level. They were previously 0-12 against them. Amazing accomplishment. :eek6:
Canada clinches first place in their group with a perfect 3-0 record and moves on to the knock-out round.

our best week usually is the 2nd iirc
I would like Gold as we all know the Olympics lists countries by gold first but still, five in four days is pretty solid, and that includes having two expected medalistss not medal in Cochraine and Valois-Fortier.
yeah I think they end up being behind Australia if Australia beats Zimbabwe by seven goals as Germany is +4 and Australia is -2
So Germany finished second I assume as they had better goal difference than Australia.

I don't believe that Cochrane was expected to medal in the 400m. Valois-Fortier was also not a guaranteed medal.
Personally, I thought that it was more disappointing that the 10m women's synchronized diving team got a bronze rather than a silver (like a lot of prognosticators predicted) because of questionable judging.
No guarantees but Valois was ranked 3rd and iirc Cochrane medalled in 400 at worlds last year.

they were pretty lucky to get bronze IMO (two groups messed up the last dive)

Nah, they were definitely the best of the bubble teams.

Oh wait, it's Forum Ice.

Their mechanics were just so wrong. Once you are at the edge of the board, you have to look up. Your spine and back muscles will help give you an extra lift. Makes the difference between a perfect scored dive and one that is just off.
(How was that? Do I sound like a diving expert or what?)
