Here it is, the 2011 Women's World Cup Final, featuring our own awe-inspiring USA team vs. Japan. This intrepid Son attempted some investigative reporting trying to unearth the Laure Boulleau equivalent on the Japanese national team, but frankly there was no Laure Boulleau equivalent. They do have a Karina (Maruyama), but she's no SoSG karina. IMHO I'd have to go with forward Mana Iwabuchi:
But then, of course, who am I to judge individuals. Especially with pictures like this out there:
But enough distractions. All of our attention is on our awesome Team USA (in sooooooo many ways). Go USA!

Sax, that bottom photo of you, me, and Orel was meant to be kept private!!
Let's do this!!!
I'm getting nervous.
Crack research there, Saxy!
Azusa Iwashimizu has one cool name, though, I have to say.
I will likely make fun of it with something like "I wash his Isuzu"
Am I really going to watch more than an hour of pre-match coverage now that golf is finished? Yes.
Take your top off, Brandi!
Congrats to Darren Clarke - champion golfer of the year! Fat white guy golfers represent!
Did Tiger win the golf thingy?
Erin got his thingy in the divorce.
She got his thingy a couple of Thanksgivings ago with a nine iron.
Roll call - who is watching?
Great start for US. Corner within 45 secs.
Lots of back and forth early on. Ball given away by both sides carelessly. Nerves, probably.
Some chances for US but nothing has found the net. Ten mins in and it's all USA, though.
Get then fuck in there, ball!!!!!!!
^the
US absolutely dominating. 0-0
It just hit me how tired I am of Blogger.
Wow, Hope Solo had to kinda move over a little bit on that last sequence. She's had nothing else to do.
Sorry DB i'm slacking on the posting. US dominating chances but not getting any RBIs, er goals.
Japan has penetrated the defense a few times. If US doesn't connect soon, Japan can sneak through with a W.
Observation: The women don't whine like the men.
All excellent points, Neeebs.
Nil-nil at the half. USA could have been up 3-0 at least. Will the misses come back to haunt them?
Cheney with an ankle problem. Subbed for Alex Morgan.
There's NO crying on soccer, Cheney.
(cries)
DB: I've taken some time over the past year to learn the game. I've decided that I really like GOOD futbol and I'm bored to death watching bad futbol.
@Neeebs
I always think futbol comes in for unwelcome criticism along those lines. Really bad ANYTHING is, well, really bad/boring. Baseball, football, you name it.
Another post hit by USA. This is starting to become comical.
I'm watching, but not really online...
Disappointed in you of all people, EK. *wags finger*
Come on, USA!
1-0!!!
Alex Morgan on the counter.
I like it when the ball goes into the net.
Get in there! Fuck yeah!
Injury led to the sub which led to the goooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooool!.
Prevent defense, and poor defense.
US defense is shambolic at this point. Just awful. COuld have given up two more just then.
When I become FIFA President, I going to allow the golden goal no time limit overtime.
Stop making sense, Neeebs.
Alex Mirgan is hotter than Booleeooleeoo.
She is, Josh. And a young 'un, too.
Come on, Wombat, will the team to victory! #AllHeart
Added extra time makes it hard to grill.
Alex MORGAN is also hot.
I TOLD YOU!!!!!
45
Credit Dusty.
Morgan has changed the face of the match since she came on in the 2nd half.
That's a shame.
Hope this isn't the everse of the brazil match
Im not in front of a TV. Did we blow it yet?

@Neeebs
Yes.
That sucked.
54
Blowing leads. Didn't deserve to win.
Dammit. Watching the game with AC. We are both depressed and need more beer.
That was Dodger-esque.
@Sax
That's how you guys came into watching the match, no?
54 indeed, MLAST
And BRA misses 4 penalties? Wow.
Did brazil lose?
@EK
Yes, in particularly shitty fashion. Missed 4 PKs.
Fyi Laure, Josefine, Hope Solo, Alex Morgan, Heather Mitts, Vma, and I are going to go drown our collective sorrows and console each other.
(^me trying to keep the dream alive despite the loss.)
"Japs" is trending on Twitter. People are idiots.
It doesn't help that people are restating it when complaining.
