[Shadow780]

Women's GK is by far the worst discrepancy to men.

 

[Leckan]

Japan play by far the best football IMO.

qft

beside solo all are f'n garbage

 

[_woLf]

If Japan moves on, I will be way more interested in the WWC final than I was for the mens. I would be perfectly okay with either Japan or USA winning it all.

 

[Gamecocks625]

NTSC format final

 

[Cousteau]

USA v Japan

 

[Buckethead]

Wow Kate... you think the USA wants to play the team down 3-1?

YA THINK?

 

[Nemesis121]

NTSC format final

ok lol....

 

[MPW]

Japan is by far the best team in the tournament IMO.

their defense is suspect, all usa has to do is pressure them like the build up to sweden's goal

just keep on making crosses and wambach will score a hat trick

 

[ganbareneopokekun]

wow.

super great, japan vs. usa! can't tell which one i'm going to cross the fingers then though

 

[Brinbe]

Should be an amazing final =)

 

[Cousteau]

Wombach is 2 feet taller than Japans tallest player.
She might eat them.

[MPW]

final: north amercia vs asia

europe LOL

 

[Shadow780]

Time to unleash Mana aka 5' kawaii~

 

[LuniRPG]

That can't be right lol

 

[yellow submarine]

Japan are very comfortable with possession, which makes for good football to watch. I do worry that the US will dominate them just by sheer size. Plus Hope won't be out of position so badly or give up headers that easily.

 

[Cousteau]

god tier footwork there

 

[Forceatowulf]

Just came by to say USA USA USA USA USA USA USA!!!!!!!

Spoiler

wanted to be here during the game but I had a job interview =/

 

[Shadow780]

over or under on number of WWII jokes on Sunday?

Judging by the "KONICHIWA BITCHES" that some guy shouted loud enough to be heard on tv during that game that was played right after the quake, I'd say a LOT.

Everybody is 2 feet taller then the the tallest Japanes player!

But seriously they do look undersized compared to the other teams surprised Germany or Sweeden are not try the physical game on them just bump them hard every time and wear them out.

Well, I'm not American but Swedish, but I edited my comment to say they play the most pleasing football; they play football the right way IMO, the closest to Barca - the best team in the World. You are right that the American superiority in the air could be Japan's achilles heel though.

Oh god, all the facebook status updates from people that watch soccer 1 day every 2-4 years, ugggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggh.

 

[Gamecocks625]

Japan shouldn't be too tough. Just strike their weak point for massive damage.

usa (real madrid) vs barca (japan)

wambach to win it with a header like ronaldo in the copa del rey final!

 

[Shadow780]

By who? Gaf?

I seriously doubt regular media would dare make those jokes during disaster period.

 

[Gamecocks625]

Japan does play some good passing soccer.

Ehem

 

[Phantast2k]

Soooo, how long till we see an animu adoption?

 

[Smiles and Cries]

I wish you guys did not point out how stupid Kate is... now I find everything she speaks annoying

GG JAPAN

 

[LuniRPG]

I seriously doubt regular media would dare make those jokes during disaster period.

I would think so too, but play-by-play say stupid crap when they're looking to fill time. I still say none for media, 3 for Gaf, countless on FB.

 

[BlueTsunami]

I keep missing the USA games. Ugh. This WC has been crazy so far.

 

[ganbareneopokekun]

すごい！

(*Puts on FM2011 and Fifa manager mode goggles*) Well the best way to win against a possession team is to counter attack like a mofo since they will always be pressing high to support their possession game. Or try to have more possession than their team I guess. I would give the US the edge based on just the goalie factor though.

 

[SouthernDragon]

Missed FRA v USA because of a midterm.

Catching the tail end of this game, though. OH GOD

Sweden makes things scary with their random power plays, but Japan isn't giving much chance for randomness.

 

[Cousteau]

Swedish meatballs are not a good pre-game meal confirmed.

 

[_woLf]

Pretty sure the female commentator hates all non-American players, and is still butthurt because she lost last world cup

 

[yellow submarine]

The male commentator was trolling her about that earlier by mentioning her 4-0 defeat to Brazil, lol.

 

[zero_suit]

Japan is breaking ankles.

 

[timetokill]

LOL at this ending.. keep the ball in that corner, that's exciting soccer

 

[yellow submarine]

Japan is breaking ankles.

Successly trolled in the corner for like 4 minutes straight!
