They lost and that's the way it goes. Japan played better at clutch time and as a result, they won. But I really wanted the USA women to win.

2. Yeah, but Japan needs it more than we do this year. NEEDS IT.
And our people played so well there is no way you can look at them as losers.

5. No. I'm not one of those.
But a good highly competitive game like that? The difference between winning and losing a hairsbreadth?

6. I'm clearly not.
I watched the last part of the game; once it went to extra minutes.

I was enjoying it and pleased the US was winning, until the crowd started chanting USA USA USA - then I lost all pleasure in the game.

I feel bad for the US team after though. Stupid interviewers - "Why do you think you lost the game?"

The part I saw was a well-played game by two well-matched teams. It could have easily gone the other way.

8. Really, with all the devastation, deaths, sickness and worrying

About Nuclear contamination, this is the BEST NEWS Japan could have on a day like today. I am an American too, however, I know Japan needed this to boost their spirits. In a country that has had the highest suicide rate, I am happy they won.
