Japan will need to radically alter their approach now. They should be able to control the ball and be aggressive. They will look for a misstep to take advantage of, otherwise they're toast.

 
Why did Japan spend the first 2/3 of the game just bombing the ball forward when they're clearly capable of controlling possession? Nerves getting the best of them? Strategic decision? I don't get it.

I think they felt they were vulnerable to the US simply beating them in the air or off through balls.
 
These games have really been entertaining. Good sports viewing here. I'm glad we have Ian Darke in the booth.
I know soccer gets a "it's boring" rap from the non-fans/casual-fans, but anyone who just watches the US games in these last 2 World Cups has been treated to some exciting soccer. Literally all 4 of the US men's games (England game is iffy, but the other 3 were great) were exciting, and each of these last 3 women's games have been great, too.I do like Ian Darke, of course. I know Julie Foudy is a US women's legend, but I think she kinda sucks. Would've loved Efan Ekoku :moneybag: . He's the best commentator around.

Agree. I like soccer a lot so maybe its hard for me to be objective, but its hard to imagine that the casual fan doesnt find these games pulsating.
 
Granted I don't watch much women's soccer, but do women ever score from outside the 18? These Japanese women are missing the net by a ####### mile every time they shoot from ~25 yards.
