    How about Usain Bolt getting American citizenship, the most precious thing of all?

    Then there will no sour grapes flying around.

    (Missed) calls like that happen all the time in soccer. You can play the 'what if' game if you'd like but the Americans earned their 'W'. There's no asterisk or question mark on this gold medal. The Japanese had several legitimate chances to score and didn't. I bet they're way more upset by the number of balls that hit off the goal posts then they are by the missed call.

    Reminiscent of the World Cup of last year when U.S women's team hit the ball off the goal posts...

    Easy to say this when you are not a fan of a team. I bet if the Rockets or texans were subject to a blown call in game 7 of the finals or the superbowl you would be visibly upset.

    The whole world knew the US women soccer team did not deserve the gold medal except a few blind homeys like you.

    Missed calls happen all the time, but when the calls favor one single team in two consecutive deciding games, people have the right to be doubtful.

    The other no call was when a US player wrapped both her arms(360 degrees) around a Japanese player's wrist and drag her down in the penalty area during a Japanese offense.

    It's bad for the US team to lose. It's worse for them to "win" this way.

    Jordan Burroughs with the gold medal in wrestling

    Dude's a beast. Ran around with the flag like michael johnson, which he said he wanted to do, then went into the stands to hug mom (?), fans were all over him

    Men's soccer: Korea vs. Jpana
    This is possibly the biggest sports game ever in the history of both countries.

    Of course I would. But I was addressing the idea that the (missed) calls will be an enduring issue. They happened; it sucks. But no one outside of the Japanese and Canadian fanbases will be making a big deal about this by the time the next world cup rolls around. These were not "OMG THAT TEAM WAS ROBBED" calls. (though Canada does have a legit gripe).

    In both games, the calls that went the US's way didn't give the US the lead. They weren't handed a victory. In the Canada game, Canada had ample opportunity later on to break the tie. In the Japanese game, they had ample time to score another goal.

    Yup. Goudarzi never had a chance though, he had already lost twice prior to precisely Burroughs before and Burroughs was the hands-down favorite from the very beginning of the competition. A relatively uninteresting 1-0, 1-0 victory in the final match.

    The rivalry between two
    Neither team won a medal in soccer in their history
    Korean gets exampted from the military service (2 1/2 years) if they win this match

    The matches in 2002 World cup was huge, but not as big as this one.
    This one is the biggest game (at least for S.Koreans) in the history.

    Uh, Why Divac and Webber did not play better in game 7 of the 2001 Kings VS lakers playoff serials.

    Hey, worst officiating ever for game 6 in NBA history, but you had a chance to beat us in game 7. Sucks for you, we "earned" the victory and a championship.

    The logic is similar to that of a pirate's: sorry we robbed your fresh water and food, but why did you not bring more of those, sucks for you to starve!
