I'm disappointed that the US lost but those Japanese girls were the epitome of NEVER QUIT.
Sure, you could say that Japan scored on US miscues, but that is what a good team is supposed to do. Japan kept playing hard and took advantage of opportunities when the popped up. Those girls deserve to be extremely proud of their win.
And what an emotional boost those girls have given Japan. Not just by winning but by how they pulled it off. Never quitting. Never giving up. It was inspiring to watch.
As for the US, it was just not our year. No big deal. Our girls still got a hero's welcome when they got home.
