    Speaking as someone who only watches soccer during the soccer-olympics (i.e. the World Cup)* I have to say I like the women's game more.... not as much pure athletic strength and speed (obviously) but geez, you don't anywhere near as much of the whining and crying and diving as the men.

    Well it's 4-0 now so I guess they won't be leaving it up to PKs this time.....

    * Yes I know soccer is an olympic sport but the attention to that is nowhere near the attention to the World Cup hence calling this the soccer olympics

    Wow, Japan's getting destroyed. Quite the change of pace from the last game, when I was all thinking "somebody score...I don't care who!".

    So, if 2011 was Pearl Harbor then 2015 is Hiroshima?

    Too soon?

    Sort of like the match where Brazil got blown out last year, though that had the added embarrassment of being at home.

    So I missed the first 16 minutes and 4 goals. Turn it on, to see Japan score. Clearly I need to stop watching so I don't jinx us more.

    If anything, this game is the equivalent of a Pearl Harbor...but in reverse. A sharp, devastating blow at the very beginning? Yeah...

    Edit: And...Japan just got in a second goal moments after I posted that.
    Edit: Followed by goal 5 by USA.

    So I picked a good game to start tuning in for -- obviously finales are inherently interesting, but holy cow. I'm still a total soccer n00b, but even I appreciated how unprecedented those early goals were. Props for Japan for fighting all the way through, but dang.
