Q: Honestly, who do you think deserved that gold medal ? or who did you want to win ? i honestly wanted brazil to win. they played real good, and usa already has one. i was kinda crushed when brazil lost.
A: Brazil controlled the football for most of the match, but Marta just kept getting smothered every time she attacked. Brazil's defense just lapsed for a split second and that's when Carli Lloyd was able to capitalize with that hellified goal. Kickass game, just like 4 years ago. Brazil girls were bawlin after the game. It's not like basketball, where one good player can take over. It's football, too much of a team sport but Marta still impressed everyone. Give her a shot on a men's football club somewhere, let's see if she can hack it.
