JAPAN - USA: 2-2 (3 tab 1) :
Goals: Miyama (81) and Sawa (117th) for Japan - Morgan (69th) and Wambach (104th) for the U.S.
This is the story of a team that was not expected. That no one saw coming. In a nation in its history, has always faced adversity and managed to get up when she had both knees on the ground. Sunday night in Frankfurt, the Japanese gave a summary of a little over two hours of this wonderful and rich history. In the final of the World Cup, Japan has created a huge surprise and won his first title by defeating the United States (2-2, 3 tab 1). This victory, the Japanese have built in adversity and with a non-standard denial. Conducted twice by the players to score the Stars and Stripes, the Japanese returned to 81st and 117th minutes of a game that has slowly slipped into madness. Asians and smiled at the meeting of penalties. The Americans, who had yet never lost to the Japanese (22 wins and three draws), have cracked the top three Batter (Boxx, Lloyd and Heath) failing Kaihori face.
Everything in the path of the Japanese in this World is the surprise. They were not favorites in the quarterfinals against Germany (1-0 ap) or the semi-final against Suede (3-1). But to see them come from behind twice against an American team dominating and that affected three times the amount - Rapino (18th), Wambach (29th) and Morgan (49th) - was almost a miracle. After the very logical opener by Morgan (69th), it was a huge misunderstanding in the central hinge American, unable to reach a ball yet easy to Miyama, close up, shoot Hope Solo.
Sawa save the homeland:
By extension, it was thought that the purpose of Wambach
(104th), who had already saved the United States in the quarterfinals
against Brazil, scoring, already the head, the goal of 2-2 in stoppage
time of the extension would suffice. Not at all. Three minutes from
time, Sawa arose from a corner to deceive again Solo and finish top
scorer of the World Cup with five goals. The selection Nadeshiko (named
after a flower) never exceeded the quarter-finals at the World Cup.
Throughout their incredible journey, Sawa partners reiterated their
support also played a country hit by the earthquake and tsunami of
March. They have been rewarded.
