Japanese women beat USA for World Cup

[Gott]

I'm from the USA and if one team had to beat us, I'm glad it was them  They've gone thru a rough time lately and it's good there's something to uplift their spirits a bit

Yeah, like even the weird Japanese care about womens' sports.

If they didn't before they will now

And the women are getting better. I saw quite some decent goals.
I'm still saying I'd score 15 goals every game if I'd play with them, but they're definitely getting better.

Fuck yeah.

Ancient Japanese Womens soccer proverb : "Any hole is a goal"

Kinda ironic that the USA and Japan have next to no impact in the real world cup but get to the final in the women's one.

Not really. In the USA loads of of young children play football. The boys usually turn to American Football, baseball or basketball when they're older, but the girls keep playing football most of the times. Many female players, so they are quite good. Pure logics, I'd say.

The Japs probably just fielded the mens team. Nobody would notice if they did.
