Agree completely with this. USA had this one locked up twice and then let it slip away. Normally not good but I'm happy for all Japanese triumphs this year.
We need more visibility of Soccer and Rugby here in the USA. Great sports. Did you know that in a 60-minute NFL game the ball is 'live' for less than 5 minutes, and in a 90-minute soccer game the ball is 'live' for more than 80 minutes?
