Missed penalty puts the boot to Germany's hopes

Celia Sasic picked a bad time for Germany's first missed penalty kick in the Women's World Cup.

Sasic shot it wide to her left - even as US goalkeeper Hope Solo dove the other way - after a foul in the box in the 59th minute of Tuesday night's semifinal against the United States.

Ten minutes after the miss by the leading goal scorer in the World Cup, the Americans converted a penalty of their own, breaking the scoreless tie on their way to a 2-0 victory.
