Great Soccer Game:U.S. Olympic's Women's USA-Canada

This is probably the first time I said "great soccer game" in my life.but the USA-Canadian women's soccer game in the Olympics is going down as one of the best ever.
The mid to late 2nd half of the game was some of the most exciting soccer I have ever seen.  5 goals in about 10 minutes, including a penalty kick by the U.S. which was controversial was truly breathtaking.
The game is almost over the overtime period and probably will go to penalty kicks.
Update: Team USA just scored on a header during injury time!!
Team USA scored in the 122 minute of the match, with about 30 seconds left in the game.  Alex Morgan was the woman who scored the goal making the final score 4-3.
This has been one of the best soccer games in the history of soccer in the Olympics, though I am sure the Canadians may say they were robbed. (and they be right)
So, the U.S. team will play Japan for the Gold medal in a couple on Thursday..
