Netherlands with a few missed opportunities in the end of this game, including a penalty kick that the US goalkeeper easily saw coming. Two more shots just wide after that, and a great save by the goal keeper in this final minutes.
Looking like extra time.

Another interminable naked eye VAR check, this time for Netherlands' Beerensteyn who nodded in from the corner but who was way offside when she received. The question for the Qatari VAR man is whether she got a second touch after it crept in off the bar, making the goal legal. A good 3 minutes is taken before the goal is finally confirmed as disallowed.

It's getting silly with the USA's disallowed goals in this tournament. Christen Press disallowed a while ago (second of the game) now Alex Morgan is called just offside after bursting forth on goal and slotting home. That's the 9th offside 'goal' of the tourney for USA as a penalty shootout looms ever nearer.

Why are they called penalty kicks when no penalty was assessed? Or are both teams penalized for not winning while playing actual soccer?
Call them extra kicks. Or oh-fuck-it kicks. Or at least hold up yellow cards toward each squad.

Or at least hold up yellow cards toward each squad. Because they’re identical to penalty kicks awarded for an infringement inside the penalty box.

I was watching the Euro final at a pub and I walked out when it went to PKs. If game 7 of the NBA Finals is tied at the end of the first OT, let's have a three point contest to decide it.

Good and appropriate answer to a typically dull-witted question, and I honestly don't know from where you get your imperturbability in the face of such idiotic enquiries.

He was just having a bit of fun, don't make it into an attack on the sport. I love the game and I still think major championships decided by PKs are stupid.

Your sport's rules and glossary of terminology are not sacrosanct.

No, he's a good guy NYtoTX - it just gets frustrating seeing stuff about football or 'soccer' that dismisses something about it without offering alternatives - like this troll idiot Mould above. 'Penalty kicks are pure luck' - in which case just toss ten coins and have done with it. No, NJTX is cool. I meant no offence, I was just frustrated at the line of enquiry.

You imbecile, I did offer an alternative. I said they should bring back golden goal and penalty shootouts indeed are pure luck. Football is one of the most boring sports in the world and they should do whatever to make it exciting. It's about as entertaining as watching paint dry. Learn to read properly, troll idiot. |

Mexico lost out to Brazil in a penalty shootout earlier today and the second semi-final between Japan and Spain is now heading into extra time. Japan, just one goal conceded up to and including this fifth Olympic match, has been resolute in countering Spain's attacking line. But without creating much of their own, boasting a modest 38% possession in the 90 minutes.

ET1 finishes with more of the same, Japan winning no prizes for artistic flair but concrete in middle third organization, particularly Yoshida who has had a first-class outing. Maeda came close with a 6 yard header which just passed over the Spanish bar, which shows that Japan can occasionally pose a sneaky threat up front.
Whichever side wins this, I fancy them to take Brazil out in the Final.
It's 0-0 with 15 minutes more play.

ET2
• '108 Both sets of players beginning to feel the strain as the clock winds on. They tried to get a couple of minutes rest at the ET half but the ref hurried them back to resume.
• '111 Goalmouth scramble from the Japan free-kick. Spain desperately keep it out as Japan attempts a breach, and again, the ball pinging around in the Spanish 6 yard box.
• '115 GOAL

GOAL!
After 115 minutes Japan's defence is successfully breached. Asencio sends a delightful mid-level curler from the edge of the area which beats Kosel.
One-nothing Spain with just a few minutes to go.
