0-0 at halftime, somewhat lucky for Japan. A couple of great scoring chances for the US, especially in the first 15 minutes, then Japan got into the game a little better. At the beginning Japan again with way too much of a gap between defense and attack, which made it difficult for them to get the ball forward - that's really something their coach should have figured out by now. Excellent direct attacking play by the US, though. If they can continue this they should eventually score, but they shouldn't let Japan dominate possession too much as they did towards the end of the first half. When Japan get the ball into the final third they do look dangerous with their quick combinations.

Uh, as the second half is now started, I DO have to wonder just how much that our United states team losing Lauren Cheney will hurt us overall? frown

Game going to extra time. Strange second half - the US dominated, and when they scored (untypically, from a counter) Japan didn't look like coming back, but they did after that unfortunate defensive error. Towards the end it was an open and exciting game that could have gone either way, apparently no side was too eager to go to extra time. Let's see if it continues that way.

Incredible game now - the US dominate extra time, take the lead again, and Japan equalize again! If the US don't win this they only have themselves to blame for missing so many chances.

Red card for a Japanese player in the final seconds and a dangerous freekick, but it's going to a penalty shooutout. Wow, what a game!

Japan are women's world champions! What an upset. Strange penalty shooutout with the US missing three of their four attempts. A bit lucky for Japan, but they showed great fighting spirit and simply converted their chances better.
