Japan Beats U.S. to Win Women's World Cup Title: Are You Disappointed?

Japan is better than America.

No I am not disappointed I am proud that the americans got as far as they did. I am proud to see how well they played. The world cup was very exciting for the first time in years and our american womens team showed great discipline.

I'm not disappointed; I'm happy Japan won the Women's World Cup.

Chick soccer woo hoo !

Japan deserved it, no reason to be disappointed...first game of soccer I watched since last summer's world cup

I am disappointed at the US' loss. However, I would much rather they lose to Japan, than, say, China ...

I think the U.S. girls did alright, and considering what happened in Japan this last year, I think it was fitting of them to win the World's Cup.

i thought we were going to win.

Japan was a strong underdog in every match they played and they showed the same class and heart the U.S. Women showed in 1999. They well deserve all the success they have achieved.

Japan had a lot more at stake as far as emotion. Given what all their nation has been thru in the last 6 months, they just had more heart, period. It was an excellent game. Happy for all involved.

I'm proud of them. :3

It would have been a great win for the United States, but I am happy for Japan. They needed this win more after all they have been through.

they have all the cool stuff and shows, they deserve it! plus that horrible earthquake

This great i am happy for japan =D

Nope, The crux of practicing sport is the Confluence of people

BUT... the Japanese team did what they needed to do to win, the US team did not.

Anyone or any teams to be in any sports win or lose, to me they're all winners..

i did, but i have to admit.... they did play pretty good.....

i was actually surpirsed they beat gremany

I root for my country no matter the sport, but I'm not a soccer fan, so I'm not terribly disappointed.

Wow, I'm looking at the number who are not and wondering, why not?. Regardless of the fact that Japan has gone through a terrible ordeal on its soil. Still why wouldn't a true American not be disapponted. Congratulations to Japan for having won it. But as someone who has played this game in high school and College, the US had no business losing this game. The goal by Japan to tie the game in regulation was a lapse on the part of our defender. It's basic that when the ball is in front of the goal, you don't kick it around and in front of the goal, you kick it out of play. The defender should have kicked it to the right and out past the line, not to the left and directly in front of the goal. The penalty kick selection on our part was unbelievable. The first shot was predictable that it was going to the right side of the goal, the same kicker did it against Brazil and exactly the same fashion, which the goalie obvioulsy knew. The two other shots were within reach of the goalie, one was stopped without much effort and the other went way over the top of the cross bar. The score should have been 4-0 in the 1st 20 minutes and could have been 6-0 in regulaltion. It appeared clear from the 17th minute into the game until the last penalty kick, the cup was not meant for the US to bring home. Call it destiny. Call it what you will, it just was not meant to be.

After getting it handed to them a the past 25 times, it's about time that the U.S. get beat! Let's not be angry that Japan won this game. After all of their misfortunes lately, they needed some sort of lift...

Its expected, all that radiation gives them super powers.

No not really it's just a game

kinda but not really

Only that the US didn't do better. Otherwise they earned the title and deserve respect for it.

Even though I am an American I think Japan needed this win more than us. They have been through hell and back and any little boost of happiness at this time is a good thing. Both teams are winners in my eyes.

first time to win the world cup wow that so great this will bring joy to the Japan,s people and USA hard luck next time

They won fair and square, and in a great match by all accounts. Hats off to them , and GO TEAM USA! Y'all did great too, proud of them.

i was hopping for an asain champion, besides it was a good game to watch so i am pretty satisfied

I would have been happy with either team winning since I'm from the USA, but I do feel Japan really NEEDED a win just for the morale of their country. They've been through so much recently, and needed a boost of something positive. I was very happy for them. Well-played and exciting game. I do love soccer and it was great fun to watch.

go japan! :D

I'm really happy that Japan had something good come out of such a terrible, devastating year. I'm really not disappointed!

Don't care for soccer and not something that I'd even bother to watch.

You can't win any game without capitalizing on opportunities. Free kicks are free kicks... You have to make the shot. Congradulations to Japan they deserved the win, they played harder.

Women's Soccer. Unfortunately not significant.

No I am not disappointed, Japan always gives it all in just about everything, they played to win never giving up, the Japanese team is a reflection of its culture.

Nihon ha subarashii kuni desu.

ほんとう うれしい です <3
