One of the best women’s soccer games in history ended sadly for Team USA as Japan edged the lady stars and stripes in penalty kicks to win the World Cup. The US women’s team captured the attention of the entire US sports scene and hopefully that attention will be a boost for women’s soccer as a whole. At the very least women’s soccer can claim one chubby little kid who became an instant Twitter superstar with his flash of the camera after Alex Morgan’s goal. [via TBL] As dissappointing as USA’s loss is, I’m happy to see Japan get the win which is a great victory for a country much in need of one. We’ll get back to eventing coverage shortly…maybe.
