WWC, Marta of Brasil CHOKE up the final like a track athlete

[Mexxx]

we are familiar with.

Marta miss her chances, then miss the penalty, all in the final when the whole world is watching. According to some on here that is the definition of "choking"

The MVP for the Germans was the Brasilian goalkeeper. She was at MAJOR fault for both goals, she could save both goals with her feet instaed of "flopping like a fish pon lan" and mek de ball go under her

Dem choke or out of gas?

The Brazilians were out of gas with 20 minutes on the clock, and I agreed with the ex-coach analyst when him sey Brazil did not use their subs efficiently in the tournament.

The lame attempt at the penalty opportunity was indeed a "choked" moment.

yup....poor pk! the germans just stuck to their game plan and ground out the result...they never panicked. after the 1st german goal brasil panicked.

Old adage of football: When fitness goes, technique suffers. The Brazil coach did not use all substitutions even when leading 4-0 to keep his midfield and strikers fresh for the final. Brazil was flat against Brazil even in the first half, and was dead even at the 2nd half, so no flair, no samba football because they were emotionally and physically tired.

I thought Brazil out played them and were just unlucky , in fact the Ref tolerated a physical game to Brazil deteriment , Martha and Co were hacked !

Dem lucky dem get the penalty because it shoulda been two before dat .
