They choke, Asllani knocks them out

Germany could be the next to choke. Still 0:0 against 10-women China after 68 minutes...

Hope calling Sweden cowards is embarrassing. The best winners really are the sorest losers. Sheesh.

Well done, Swedes. Gals didn't play well most of this game so I can't have too many complaints about the elimination.

The Sweden coach Pia Sundhage had the fitting reply: "I don’t give a crap," she told reporters after the game. "I’m going to Rio, she’s going home."

Germany were lucky against China - at 1:0, we got a penalty against and the Chinese player hit the post.

In the end the 1:0 was enough to win. Yeah, we were somewhat better, but frankly if the Chinese had scored it would have been our own fault. If you don't score the goals, you can't complain if you are on the receiving end on the other side...

Man, what a play by Janine Beckie for Canada's goal.

Cowardly Swedes hiding in their Ikea Closets, keeping it at 0-0 with 10 mins left in ET.  As cowardly as they are, for some reason, I cant help but want them to pull this off.

Don't blame them to sit back against opponent like Brazil at their home tbh.

Penalties

Cant wait till we Portugal our way to the title. Haters be Haters

Penalties it is.

Marta scores

Edit: Schelin scores

Christiane misses feck yeah

You've got to be kidding me hapoened against US too

The horrors of Maracana and semis continue for Brazil

Sweden knock out USA and now knock out Brazil.

Germany vs Canada now.

Asllani missed a peno but put in a great shift imho

We are in the final

Carbon copy of the penalties vs US. Lisa Dahlqvist the hero again

The Swedes do it!  Credit to the Swedish keeper who more or less got close to or saved every shot.  Was unlucky not to save Marta's shot.  The Swedish captian took a perfect PK.

It is strange, but I really dont know what to feel about the next game?  I think I want Kanada to win?

Respect to Sweden!

Now we have to try and get past Canada....

Really unnecessary foul to give away for the penalty.  Lots of time for the Canucks to come back.

1-0 HT

Canada came so close to leveling in the 45 min, but for a goal line clearance by the German defender.

I know Brasil played earlier and it is a big stadium, but there looks to be only 100 people in the stadium watching this?

I have to admit, normally I would watch the gals, but Yann Sommer takes precedence, so it's just the ticker for me.

Probably game over ( though still 30 mins left) Nice shot by the German attacker, not even Joe hart would have saved that!  Or should I say Joe Hart would not have saved that?

(Sorry Joe if you are reading this)

Legit final going on, 2-1 to the Germans right now. Comical Swede own goal giving them a 2-0 advantage.

Main woman Asllani's playmaking helps Sweden gets one back. But They'll concede another 2 for sure, Horrible CB's.

Aaaaaaaaaaaand as im typing this Asllani has been subbed nvm this final im done with women football.

Yay, Gold! The Maracana stadium is a good place to go for German football teams ^^

This Gold Medal was the only title that Germany hasn't won before.

But the Swedes were scary towards the end - this could easily have gone into extra-time and a penalty shoot-out, too!

But now Silvia Neid can retire from the coaching job with a Gold medal - the next big tournament will be with Steffi Jones at the helm.

Congrats to Germany. They were better than us and deserved the gold
