The Getty had it wrong, tsh tsh.

[ACT Crusader]

Penalty shootout to decide the women’s football gold medal.

First ever time in a women’s gold medal match.

I almost feel sick for these girls!

[ACT Crusader]

Sweden hits the side post and miss first up

[ACT Crusader]

Canada nails their first with a ground ball to the left corner.

[ACT Crusader]

Bjorn for Sweden for their second and it’s a nice goal.

[ACT Crusader]

Swedish keeper saves the second Canadian one.

All tied up.

[ACT Crusader]

Sweden back in front with their third kick.

[ACT Crusader]

Ouch. Canadian hits the top crossbar. Miss

[ACT Crusader]

Excellent save by the Canadian keeper.

[antipodean]

No power in these kicks.

[ACT Crusader]

Another save for the Swedish keeper. Fairly easy to pick that one off.

[ACT Crusader]

Fresh air! Missed it completely.

[antipodean]

They could run out of kickers. Has that happened before?

[ACT Crusader]

Cool as a cool thing. Canada nails the pressure 5th penalty to tie it.

[ACT Crusader]

The pressure is getting to these girls big time.

Canadian keeper saves another.

Now Canada can win the gold here.

[ACT Crusader]

Oh Canada!!! They get the gold.

[antipodean]

Hahaha women's soccer is shit.

Great commentary ACTC

@nostrildamus I was referring to the Latvian javelin thrower in the final. Her name is Madara Palameika.

The last 15 mins of ET was more exciting than the penalty shootout. The Swedes were all over Canada and had their chances. I reckon there was only about 2 decent penalties across both teams in the shootout. The last pen was a poor effort too.
