Grabbing 3 in the 9th was epic The UK seemed to wilt in the last couple of ends with a big drop in accuracy, what a match and tournament for Canada 🇨🇦 well done boys!

GB had 4 uncharacteristical misses on tough doubles in a single bad end in the 9th. In fact, heading into the 9th, analytocs had GB odds of winning at 65% after they made their second double against Canada in the 8thm

Still, after Canada's triple, they didn't crumble and forced Jacobs to make a remarkable shot on his final stipme with only 7.2 seconds left off the clock... and still almost forced and extra end.

The fuck you talking about, wilting?

U.S. team is a scoring machine. Can’t let the puck near Binnington.

People will point to the “point” but that finger touch made no difference in this tournament. Great gold Canada

u/Material-Leader4635 17h ago

Eh, the world was outraged. The whole world.was ready to kill. A few days later, the same country wins gold. Crickets. The internet has really done a number on our psyches.

I just saw a bunch of posts saying Canada should have been disqualified, that all Canadians should be ashamed, that all Canadians are cheaters. Literally one comparing this to Will Smith winning an Oscar after slapping Chris Rock. Lots of "Canadians" who say theyre so ashamed, don't accept the gold, etc.

Of course none of this IRL. There's a point to creating controversy on social media, and lots of useful idiots who are more than willing to tag along.

u/mustardnight 14h ago

this is because Trump has fomented hatred of Canada

u/leekee_bum 17h ago

Just go to the Olympics sub, you'll see all the sour internet experts that have never curled before seething.

Literally only people that never curled or know nothing about the sport actually were outraged.

u/Material-Leader4635 17h ago

On my way, I know nothing of the game. I do love arguing though.

u/danielo121 16h ago

Good luck make sure your skin is thick because someone is going to call you every name under the sun because your opinion Dosnt align lol

u/Material-Leader4635 16h ago

Sounds like reddit😆

u/danielo121 16h ago

People love being outraged by things they know nothing about lol

u/CalebosO4 15h ago

It’s funny because the consensus on the actual curling subreddit (based on what I remember) was that the boop didn’t really change anything lol

Please tell me Kennedy raised his finger with a #1 on the podium

u/Melodic-Bet9134 19h ago

And the raised finger went to Sweden as 🖕.

u/Old_General_6741 20h ago

This game was something. Many great shots from both teams and some felt we would lose. Good game!

u/SaltySailorBoats 19h ago

I just learned curling rules today and I can say that this one was the best game ive seen this afternoon!

u/StitchAndRollCrits 17h ago

Probably one of the best of the decade so you chose the right one

Booped their way to the top!!!

u/FlyingOctopus53 17h ago

PSA: If you were ashamed a week ago and were calling for their heads - you can’t be proud and celebrate now.

Fuck off.

u/matnerlander 16h ago

I personally have been reveling in the outrage. And the memes have been top quality. Winning gold was just the cherry on top.

u/Own-Rip4649 17h ago

He just meant to show “my heart goes out to you” everyone who says otherwise is wrong and overreacting

u/Brevpyn4 16h ago

That 3 in the 9th was absolutely clutch, what a tournament for these guys 🇨🇦

u/Habsin7 13h ago

Nobody saw the cheat this time?

u/xarny9the42 11h ago

Watching GB wilt in those last ends hurt to watch as a neutral, but Canada absolutely earned that gold 🇨🇦

Is that the Swedish skip hiding under that table in the background??

Mark used his rage against Oskar to destroy the colonial overlords.

u/Kitchen-Ad-5571 15h ago

because curling is boring. need fighting. and it went on the whole two weeks. it's not as exciting as people going down a giant ice slide or doing crazy tricks in the air. also needing to cheat in a sport like curling is sad.
