Holy sh*t. Hoping for a repeat of Germany-Brazil.

Japan has to slow the game down a bit and survive the next 15min, they seem to be doing just that.

There's the coin toss goal, ball right into the sun.

Carli on a hat trick 15 minutes in. Seriously that Brazil loss to Germany might be something for Japan to aspire to by the time this game is done.

That should have been 5.

Japan can't keep the ball and now they're going to long balls.

Japan must find a way into this match somehow. A Brazil/Germany type debacle in the WC final would not be good for the women's game from a neutral spectator's PoV.

I guess Lloyd is going to hog the post-tournament corporate sponsorship loot.

The Ladies Excuse Me: WC 2015

Is it a bit early to say that this is one of the all-time great World Cup final performance from a player?

[Amor de Cosmos]

The Ladies Excuse Me: WC 2015

Good. That stems the tide a bit.

And good for her. Go away, Wombach Comback.

Japan score a nifty goal.

Yeah, it's interesting how people find their way into watching as neutrals (which I say as someone who watches a ton of games as a neutral). On one hand, it seems like leagues and tournaments need a strong gloryhunting option (Brazil, Barca, Man UTD). On the other hand, if the conclusion is too predictable then people tune out. This would be the reason that of the teams I follow, Valencia is usually the last one I will watch in any given week: they aren't going to catch Old Firm Spain.

Damn. Poor defense on that one.
