Laura Bassett probably feels better today after the Lionesses’ 1-0 victory over Germany in the third-place game at the World Cup in Edmonton. The ref was awful but what is new? And the reaction shows a third-place game can have meaning (sometimes). A bronze for Lucy Bronze! Meanwhile, Chile defeated Argentina in the Copa America on penalty kicks. How’s that for a Fourth of July day of soccer?
UPDATED: In other news, the Lakers reached a deal to acquire Roy Hibbert from the Pacers. What, no Adam Levine photo in a Hibbert jersey?
UPDATED II: Here it is from a twitter follower.
Wasn’t Germany shut OUT? 1-1? Are you sure?
Really Wolf – you can’t even get the score right?
1 + 1 = 1 per Wolfie. It never ends.
UPDATED III Scott finally corrected the score to read 1-0 ……
Isn’t that Bassett second from the right?. She looks pretty happy.
I am relieved and happy for her.
And Roy Hibbert?– Indiana discarded him, so that is what the Lakers are able to pick up these days, scraps from other teams.
Oh, well, they had their run, now it’s time for other teams to shine.
