It seems there was poor sportsmanship on both sides if that what you consider it.

I can't find ugly americans in this article. What Solo and Morgan say are classical comments to boost your own team. Wambach is just brilliant.

In general, casual fans (=most Japanese) went nuts about this win, because of their very first Olympic medal of women football in history. And praised the defense including magical saves by its goal keeper, and of course believe our girls can win OGM by beating US again. Actually our girls are everywhere in daily news on every TV channels; not only the digest of their games, many fluff vids, vids of their days as kid players, their parents, grand parents and friends also show up on TV every day.

My bet, however, is on USA this time. Look at their fierce looks throughout the semi-final against Canada. They are ready for a vengeance.

Thx! That's my bet too. I'll cheer for both teams though tomorrow …. let the best win.

Funny how a sport people not usually watch suddenly is everywhere in the media. That's the olympics! I really hope the Japanese women team will sit in business class flying home, like the men

Women's bronze match, between France and Canada on Thursday before the final.

Men's bronze match on Friday between S Korea and Japan. Final between Brazil and Mexico on Saturday.
