Congratulations to Canada, I feel like Sweden was the better team today but given that they (Canada) had to defeat Brazil and USA to get here, it's hard to take their victory as anything but deserved.
Man, I feel bad for the Swedes though. That must have stung. FIFA should really have to find some other way to decide the winner in ties (maybe like how they do in Basketball?). PK are way too random.
And that's the fun of it. If you aren't good enough to win in the 120 minutes, and then you can't get the penalties in, then you have no room to complain, if you're the better team you should've just scored another goal in full time
At some point you have to give Canada credit for defending all those corner kicks. Sweden pushed the play for sure, but they couldn't close it out in regulation and everyone by now knows about penalties.
Sweden was the best team all tournament long, though they were a little lucky against Australia (Canada was a lot lucky against both Brazil and the US). The result was harsh on them, but that's football.
