My goodness, are we talking about sports? Watching a munch of men running around a field trying to get hit in the head by an egg-shaped rubber ball and then if it does not hit them in the head they get mad and kick it. Now when the girls team plays, that is much different.
Ties count too, in the early rounds, where they are graded on a point system and number of total goals scored break ties.
Result Points

Highest two teams advance to the next round.
And the USA played rather poorly, IMO. They were supposed to be better with teamwork where the UK had more skilled players. Seems the UK had better teamwork as well.
We were quite lucky to have scored. UK's goalie, Green, took his eye off the ball at the last instant and muffed the catch.
Ok.... Someone really needs to set some rules for that game... Refs that can disallow goal just because the want to and add time when they want to?? Lol. And anyway... Its not really a sport unless its played on ice with razors on your feet and sharp sticks with chunks of rubber flying around at 100 mph! . .
