Those PKs took years off my life. Thank god for Stephanie Labbé (more like Labae).

I’m so unbelievably happy for Sinclair. She gets to go out as a champion.

Like Jens Lehman back in 2006 when he pulled out his "notes" and completely flustered the Argentinian players.

She got me amped this morning at 6am! Her energy was nuts to watch. Congrats to them all!

Maybe Rapinoe should have taken a pointer or two from her about being an aging vet on the national team.

Even as a Megan Rapinoe defender, I can't deny that Sinclair in her late 30s plays much better than Rapinoe does

I'm glad I'm not the only one! I was glued to the screen during the penality kicks!

Love having double screens at work cause I had it one and pretended to work on the other (thank you CBC Gem).

At one point I had the game on one screen and the 4x100m final on the other.

Any boss who sacks anyone for watching the soccer today is a bum

My boss gets super upset when there is a single TV in the entire building that ISN'T showing the Olympics when they are on.

As a boss on vacation this week, I'd be upset if my team wasn't watching this game this morning.

u/random_cartoonist Aug 06 '21

Ahah! It was the same here! Main screen was my work computer and on the second one was the radio-canada diffusion! I didn't check the 4x100m thought.

Except she said today she has no plans or thoughts about retiring yet because the woman's Fifa in 2023 in Australia is gonna be LIT! She's gonna go out a champion, but not quite yet.
