The most incompetent refereeing I've ever seen in a match. And that includes the Argentinian's goal, Lampards non goal, Sol Campbell's non goals and all of South Koreas matches in 2002. I've watched football for over 50 years and this is the only time i saw a free kick given for steps and then a penalty for ball to arm. An utter disgrace.
Yet, those teams had chances to overcome bad officiating to win and they didn't do it. BTW, Italy and Spain won the 2006 and 2010 FIFA World Cups and Argentina broke their 28-year title drought by winning the 2021 Copa America.
You are sounding a lot like Maxine61 who tucked tail and ran. Do you dispute the handball call being incorrect? Do you dispute the absolute pathetic call on the goalie near end of regulation time? So to title this the greatest game ever played when reffing was so poor (remember it is part of the game) and a deciding factor in why the US a team made it to extra time is completely idiotic. As in taking any pride in the victory, I stand by my original post that yes the US a got the win, but it was nothing to be proud of.

I'll take it on the chin and move on like a true trooper.
greatest game ever?? You mean biggest robbery ever... Canada won this game no matter what the scoreboard says.
The most incompetent refereeing I've ever seen in a match. And that includes the Argentinian's goal, Lampards non goal, Sol Campbell's non goals and all of South Koreas matches in 2002. I've watched football for over 50 years and this is the only time i saw a free kick given for steps and then a penalty for ball to arm. An utter disgrace.
Yet, those teams had chances to overcome bad officiating to win and they didn't do it.
BTW, Italy and Spain won the 2006 and 2010 FIFA World Cups and Argentina broke their 28-year title drought by winning the 2021 Copa America.
You are sounding a lot like Maxine61 who tucked tail and ran. Do you dispute the handball call being incorrect? Do you dispute the absolute pathetic call on the goalie near end of regulation time? So to title this the greatest game ever played when reffing was so poor (remember it is part of the game) and a deciding factor in why the US a team made it to extra time is completely idiotic. As in taking any pride in the victory, I stand by my original post that yes the US a got the win, but it was nothing to be proud of.
@@Navi1057 Well, that's why the USWNT is the most successful team in the women's game: they kept playing through every call to win.
@@joesakic91 no, stop being a fruitcake, I've hade enough of your incompetence
@@joesakic91 The calls favored them!
Your standards for greatest game are extremely low
Without Christine Sinclair, Canada is shit!
worst officiating I've ever seen
@Gary 3tahler ok clown
@Gary 3tahler lmaooo what an original response. I'm not even Canadian I just know football.
@Gary 3tahler 😂😂 you’ve gone through the comments on this video and have just replied with 🧂🧂🧂. Grow up 🤣🤣
Yeah, for both sides. But the USWNT kept playing to outlast Canada and win.
Cr7 es mejor
You should have stated it was womens
Greatest women's association football/soccer match of all time was this.
Greatest overall match? Italy 4-3 West Germany in the 1970 FIFA World Cup inside Mexico City's Esatdio Azteca.
God the color commentator just screaming every big moment ruins great moments
I loved Brandi Chastain as a player, but as a color commentator? My ear drums hurt.
Too bad the ref didn’t get a medal as well. Some of the most incompetent reffing ever. Absolutely no reason to be proud of this win.
Your hating tears are so delicious. Can I have some more please?
@@joesakic91 ha ha not crying at all. Just watch the game and see how ignorant you are of soccer if you even remotely think the US would have won without biased reffing. I enjoy knowing the truth, while you blissfully wallow in your ignorance, but then again you wouldn't be a typical American if you weren't devoid of understanding the basic rules of anything.
@@Navi1057 Bad calls happen, bubba.
It's all about which team handles every call the best and kept playing to win.
That's why the USWNT is the most successful women's association football/soccer team in the world.
Keep hating. The more you hate, the sweeter their titles are. 😉
@@joesakic91 funny you can't use an American hockey player for a name. Also there is a difference between getting the odd benefit of a bad call , and consistently being able to count on at least one or more gifts in every game. So again demonstrate your ignorance and enjoy the knowing full well it was bogus. Same in the final game against China at Olympics in the shootout. US goaltender blatantly left the line on every single penalty kick. Every single kick by China should have been allowed to be retaken if needed. Again check the tape and rules.
Ck
@@Navi1057 Um, the USWNT played Japan in the London 2012 Gold Medal Game. The USWNT played China in the 1999 FIFA Women's World Cup Final and won via penalties.
BTW, what's wrong with Joe Sakic as one of my favorite hockey players?
You love judging things like a book by its cover without reading a single page.
Keep hating. The USWNT titles keep getting sweeter.
what a foolish Canadian keeper
That's what you took away from this? Shit refereeing, great hatrick from Sinclair, bullshit penalty call and a conspiracy theory regarding making sure the Americans make the final and you highlight a goalie mistake. Oh well, each to his own
Hope Solo was overrated.
Yeah, get back on the Falcon with the wookie
FIXED! ONE OF THE WORST, AND OBVIOUS MATCH MIXES OF ALL TIME! THE US TEAM EVEN KNOWS IT!
CAS didn't see it.
@@joesakic91Umm sure.
@@HumanWritesRodBerg Don't have a go at me, bubba.
I got nothing to do with it.
@@joesakic91lol Have a great day.
Greatest game ever hahahaha what a joke of a post
@Nathaniel Millar In women's association football/soccer, USA v. CAN 2012 Summer Olympics SF is the greatest game in their category.
Overall though? It's all about Italy vs. Germany in the SF of 1970 FIFA World Cup.
Rigged
Sour grapes, much?
