Called a timeout with 1 second left. But the US didn't have possession of the ball, so it was a penalty shot.

PS scored to tie the game and send it to OT for Australia.

Ah, ok. Watching it online here and wasn't sure what the PS was for...

USA gets two in the first extra time period. This time gotta hold on, and NOT CALL TIMEOUT WITHOUT THE BALL!

Seems like a pretty severe penalty for calling an illegal timeout. Then again it didn't make sense to me why he would call a timeout if he ahd possession with the lead and one second left. Of course, i only watch water polo every four years.

You call it in order to avoid a steal and quick goal. With the timeout, you can put the ball all the way down the pool.

US goes for prevent defense instead of playing normally. When has that ever worked?

There was no chance of that from where they were. He made a mistake.
 
Re: Official XXX Olympics Results - Spoilers Welcome

It's a moot point now, as the USA defeats Australia 11-9. They'll go to the gold medal match against either Spain or Hungary (likely Spain, as they won the prelim match).
 
Re: Official XXX Olympics Results - Spoilers Welcome

Japan scores in the men's soccer semifinal to lead 1-0. As the Mexican Soccer Team(s) and its fans are some of the most contemptible scum in the sporting world, I'd love to see Nippon advance to the gold medal game.

3m diving scoring doesn't make much sense to me.

7 Judges, and you keep 3 scores. OK I get that. Then do they multiply by the difficulty rating (3.x)?
