MORGAN unbelievable

mnvikingstwins · 08-06-2012, 05:21 PM

Just missed seeing the goal live, first row mobile streaming is pretty tough to get the ads to close, but saw some replays. Did US face Japan last year on the World Cup final also?

I love Alex Morgan but I have 3 of her autos...sell??? Argh...decision, decisions!

Reignman40 · 08-06-2012, 06:02 PM

1 or 2 right now, keep one for the gold celebration on thursday or for your collection. her prices will never be higher, well unless she scores another game winner.

Dacubs · 08-06-2012, 06:24 PM

bronze alex morgan auto only went for 119

GoJays · 08-06-2012, 06:45 PM

Damn. All I have to say. A hat trick from the greatest women's soccer player ever still couldn't win us the game. Hope Sincy gets the bronze. But damn

I'm ready to see what our team will look like in Rio! I think I remember seeing that Gabby will be back, you HAVE to figure Jordyn will give it another go too...McKayla and Kyla are thick as thieves -- my guess is we'll see either both of them or neither. Not sure about Ali...was she the oldest on the team this year?

Maroney will defiantly be back as she is one of the best vaulters there is..plus she's still young.

Like I said before in my essay, only way she doesn't come back is if she is blown away by other offers since she is now a celebrity, and doesn't spend the necessary time in the gym. Even though she has said she wants to try acting, I'd be shocked after how this Olympics ended for her if she wasn't back in the gym within 6 months, and on the Worlds team in 2013, putting her in good position to be on the team in Rio.

Douglas isn't living up to her all-around gold in the event finals, dead last on the bars and second to last on the beam.

RAISMAN. One of the most incredible displays of mental toughness, leadership and grace from ANYONE, let alone an 18-year old girl, that you will ever see over a period and a half.

- Beats best friend fair and square for a spot in all-around. Doesn't act apologetic, doesn't act arrogant. Treats the situation perfectly as media paints it as "Shocking", basically ignoring the fact Raisman even got the spot.

- Wins team Gold with a fantastic performance as team captain, clinching it with a tremendous floor routine.

- Struggles in individual all-around with all the pressure in the world to show she's deserving. TIES for third...LOSES tie-breaker. No begging for pity. No excuses

- Watches her teammate Gabby Douglas win all-around and grab all the attention from America, no hard feelings, just abundant congratulations.

- Watches her other best friend blow the Gold she was basically guaranteed to win.

- Appears to have fallen just short in the beam finals after getting underscored. Review gives her Bronze, not exactly the most ideal way to win a medal.

- Wins the first American Gold in floor EVER. Become's the first American EVER to win three medals and two golds in one olympics. And she does it with one of the best routines she will ever do.

Movies couldn't create a character story line like that over a two week period. Remarkable.

Perhaps, for the 2016 Olympics in Rio, we bring back the original Fab Five. That's right! When some Italian crash lands in his first vault attempt, they'll pan the cameras to Jalen Rose running his mouth (surprise!) and we'll know EXACTLY what got in that jabroni's head. I'm talking Chris Webber doing something -- ANYTHING -- on a freakin' pommel horse. And it's a good thing Juwan Howard's been keeping so spry in his garbage minutes with the Heat because he's about to KILL IT in the floor exercise.

C'mon people, let's make this happen

Lol, they couldn't be much worse than this disaster of a men's team they put out this year. Outside of Leyva, just awful.

mnvikingstwins · 08-08-2012, 12:32 PM

Looks like US gym volleyball is going to lose in straight sets to Italy.

GoJays · 08-09-2012, 12:15 PM

At least Canada got a bronze. If only norwegians didn't hate Canada so much.

This tournament has been a farce with refereeing like that.

Canada should be playing, we all know it.

Canada should just boycott the Closing Ceremonies. They've gotten horrible officiating calls against them. Absolute #@#@#@#@#@#@#@#@.
