Forums - Sports Discussion - Women's World Cup 2015 - USA Defeat Japan 5-2

This is brutal.

Very proud of the ladies who have been waiting for this since heart break in Germany four years ago. This time they were ruthless and gave Japan nothing until they were 4-0 up and cruised to win 5-2.

After all the criticism been under this is the side that finally gets the third star. Great group of players and looking forward to France in 2019 now.

A hat trick in fifteen minutes. That's got to be historical...

It's not a true hattrick if the series of goals is interrupted.

Also, in the group stage of this tournament a Swiss player scored a hattrick within six minutes.

Huh, guess soccer has a different definition for it then. And day-um at the Swiss chick. Did the opposing team's goalie forget to show up that day or something?

Poor Japan


The unfortunate thing about sports is someone has to lose heh... Japan broke our (US) hearts four years ago and this time the roles are reversed.

Very happy for the U.S. team! Virtually every article I read through the tournament was justifiably worried and even negative, but they always did what they had to when push came to shove. Very glad wambach got to go out on top :)

That attack was relentless!



Congrats to USA & Augen for winning.
