The USWNT’s loss in the round of 16 at the 2023 Women’s World Cup in Melbourne
on Sunday was heartbreaking. After a scoreless regulation and extra time, Sweden
and the United States had to go seven rounds in penalty kicks to decide the
match, and the deciding goal couldn’t have been any closer.

Tied in PKs and needing a save to extend the match, it appeared as if U.S.
goalie Alyssa Naeher saved Sweden striker Lisa Hurtig’s shot to force an eighth
round. However, replay confirmed that the ball actually crossed the line by a
whisker, giving Sweden the victory and USWNT an early exit from the World Cup.








In order for a goal to count, the entire ball must cross the line. In this case,
there was just barely enough room between the ball and the line, as the USWNT
was about a millimeter away from getting to the eighth round of PKs.








Once that picture of VAR confirming Sweden’s goal hit the internet, fans
couldn’t believe the goal that eliminated the USWNT counted by such a narrow
margin.








































No matter how close, a goal is a goal, and the USWNT’s dream of a World Cup
three-peat is over.

As entertaining as the brawl was on the diamond between Cleveland’s Jose Ramírez
and Chicago’s Tim Anderson, the play-by-call made by Cleveland’s radio voice Tom
Hamilton was just as spectacular.

Hamilton's 'blow-by-blow' call was so impressive as he switched gears from his
baseball radio voice to the tenor of an experienced announcer sitting ringside.

Chaos erupted in the sixth inning with the White Sox leading 5–1, following a
rather harmless RBI double by Ramírez. However, the White Sox shortstop
seemingly took issue with Ramírez’s slide.

As the players decided to square off, Hamilton changed hats and served up a
boxing breakdown that would have made legendary fighting voices Howard Cosell,
Al Bernstein and Jim Lampley extremely proud.




“José and Anderson square off. They’re fighting, They’re swinging. Down goes
Anderson. Down goes Anderson!” exclaimed an animated Hamilton.








Cleveland’s hometown voice, after a brief pause to catch his breath, recapped
the action for his radio listeners with absolute precision.

“Ramírez went in with a headfirst slide. José never gets upset about anything.
They came up chewing. Anderson squared off,” added Hamilton. “José decked him.”

The fight, which resulted in six ejections, had fans buzzing on social media.
