FIFA Women's World Cup - 07-12-2011, 05:27 PM

Anyone watching it?

I'm so proud of the Nadeshiko, Japans national women's football team. After reaching the semi finals for the first time in their history, they go up against Sweden tomorrow to play the winner of France vs USA for the championship.

Them knocking out Germany was perhaps one of the biggest upsets in the history of this tournament.

Go Nadeshiko!

Congratulations on reaching the finals against the U.S.

Since the U.S. has baseball, football and basketball, let the rest of the world have futbol.... I'm rooting for Japan....

Wow! Those women really play with heart don't they?

And what a nice touch walking around with that banner thanking the world for their support.

The USA will be a tough opponent but whatever happens, the Nadeshiko have gained an enormous amount of respect from the world.

I am so happy for Japan

This World Cup gets so much attention, it's almost unbelivable and Japan is in the Finals!!

This is exactly what Japan needed right now! Just beautiful to see this happen.
