You're right. The ending was awesome. Hopefully Sunday's game won't be quite like that.
Got a tip for us?

Wanna bet?
who are you cheering for haha. im pretty sure he meant canada wont win. we already have won the gold medal count and broke the record for most golds by the hosting nation.
I know, eh? How dare America score a goal against us!
we were playing sloppy at the end of that period. luo made some huge saves yet let in the little dribbler
I thought winning a bronze was better than not winning anything? If we are going to just count the Gold why have silver and bronze at all?
Fair point, some kind of grading would be better. However the Americans count all the medals as equal which isn't a worse system IMO.
I'd rather have more gold than have more bronze. But I guess we all rank it to try to get our country at the top of the list.
It is an achievement just to medal, so why not count everything. The USA is going to break the all time record with the most medals ever won.
But would you rather have 5 bronze vs no medals at all?I'd rather have more gold than have more bronze. But I guess we all rank it to try to get our country at the top of the list.
Yeah, of course. But that's not the case. I rather have 20 bronze than no medals at all, but I rather 5 - 10 gold than 20 bronze.
Everyone wants to win the gold, but what is the better achievement. Winning 1 gold or winning 15 medals?
yeah they will but just take a look at how many athletes they have compared to all other countries. they have athlete all across the board in everything. and good athletes too.
Because anything other than a gold means you haven't actually won the competition.
If one country gets 51 golds, 21 silvers and 28 bronzes they've fairly clearly done better than another country which gets 36 golds, 38 silvers and 36 bronzes (source).
