Just watched the US girls choke hard in the world cup. All 5 girls but Wambach looked very nervous and lacked confidence with their shots in the shootout. Especially the girl that missed the damn goal… I don’t watch much soccer, but that is a HUGE fuck up for a world cup athlete, is it not?
While this is being discussed, let’s go ahead and post some of the biggest choke artists of all time.

Yep, i am very happy for Japan. They need and deserve it more than the US that’s for sure
I don’t consider that a joke. They outplayed them by a long shot in the first half just couldn’t finish. I think they were at a big disadvantage because the Japanese had seen the brazil usa pk in the quarters. That plays with your head as a kick taker. The PK’s were not taken well. Awesome game though.

Still, one of the girls missed the net by a good margin. And another looked nervous as hell, and proceeded to screw up. I’m no soccer fanatic, but to me, that seemed like a pretty big choke. I feel bad for the girls and i’m not sure why they all lost so much confidence. Maybe because japan took them to the very end and that definitely wasn’t expected.
