Sinclair is down on the field, despondent - and who can blame her? The Canadian striker scored a hat trick and put her side in front three times, only for the USA to come back three times and snatch it at the last. Canada can be so proud of their part in one of the great Olympic soccer games.

After 391 minutes without a goal, I'd almost become used to the idea of Morgan as solely a supplier, but right at the death when the ball came in and I was half expecting Wambach to be on it, it was "Baby Horse" with the most dramatic of headed winners.

This US side never do it the easy way, but they never seem to know when they're beaten. We have all the ingredients for a classic final, assuming the team (and me) can get their breath back.

Thank you for your tweets and emails - there was literally no time to get to any of them in the second half, as the action was non-stop in this extraordinary game. But thank you for joining me and I hope you'll be back for the final. I wouldn't miss it.
