Canada v United States (2012 Summer Olympics)
- ... that the 2012 Olympic women's soccer semifinal between Canada and the United States was called "the greatest knockout match in major-tournament football" since 1982 by Scott Murray of The Guardian? Source: https://www.theguardian.com/football/2012/aug/07/the-fiver-women-football-olympics
- Reviewed: Template:Did you know nominations/List of NHL players with 500 consecutive games played
- Comment: Tragically, a variation of the obviously great "Megan Rapinoe scored an Olympic goal in an Olympic semifinal" hook was used for her article in 2014, so that is probably off the table. Also, since the DYK nom I reviewed was/is malformed, the review I offered is here, in case that helps.
Created by Giants2008 (talk). Self-nominated at 01:46, 2 February 2022 (UTC).
Article is long enough (13153 characters), new enough (created 2 February, nominated same day), and article is within policy- Hook is short enough, interesting, in the article and well cited
- QPQ done (marking a review as ineligible is fine to use as a QPQ)
Overall, this nomination passes, congratulations. Joseph2302 (talk) 10:40, 6 February 2022 (UTC)
