Just a general Great Job to all the ladies who competed in the World Cup and a big shout out to the U.S. Ladies World Cup team for taking home the trophy for the 3rd time!
It was an amazing game to watch, as long as you weren't watching for the opposing team, with 4 goals scored in the first 16 minutes! 5-1 took the final game of the competition. I would say that the Japanese team did play hard they just couldn't dissect the U.S. ladies team enough to catch back up. In a game where the winning score is often 2 goals or less it would have been a miracle to come back once it was 4 - 0. The 4th goal being a kick from mid-court that landed in the goal.
I will say that the Japanese goaltender had a severe disadvantage in the first half with the sun covering most to all of the goal area and the U.S. side being in the shade but that happens in sports games all the time. Some odd disadvantages just happen.
Good job to all the ladies especially those who made it to the final game!
Bravo!
