- I actually completely forgot about all of Japan's struggles from earlier this year, such as earthquakes and tsunamis, so this was a good "feel good" moment for them. It almost looked like they wanted it more in the OT period. Congrats to them!
- Alex Morgan <3
- How stupid is it to decide your sport's world championship on something that requires a little bit of luck? That would be like a Super Bowl ending in a tie and having the winner decided by seeing which punter can punt the ball closest to the end zone.
- Disappointed/sad Alex Morgan makes me sad :(
- I realized why Americans aren't "into" soccer while watching this game. The camera is too far away and you can barely see what's going on. The game ended in an anti-climactic way that only required a little bit of luck. I was more confused than anything and if the US had pulled it off, it wouldn't really have felt that satisfying. It's nothing like say football or basketball where the camera puts you right there and overtimes require a little bit of luck AND skill. Or maybe we Americans are just snobbish assholes who hate sports we didn't invent and this is why every other country on earth hates us? Nah...
- Did I mention Alex Morgan? Let's end with a picture of her, shall we?
