USA vs. Japan 2011 World Cup Match Highlights HD

[Malikadilaila]

I think USA let Japan win

[batmankid45]

i swear my girls of the usa could of had this

[RealTri4Lyfe]

this was one of the greatest matches ive ever seen..hats off to Japan for never giving up, and showing true grit.

[bambang303378]

1:49 that goal is unstoppable by anybody, guys, girls,gays. nobody stopping shot like that.

[whatareyoumadat]

US is always second-last for everything except national debt where they receive a gold medal!

[TheColmODonnell]

i like mens soccer more but this was amazing, and i think Japan got lucky.

[TheOscar401]

this final was even better than the 2010 mens final

[HandsomeMario]

One of the most exciting matches I've ever seen

[MYacono]

I saw the goals US missed and I knew they were going to lose. In Argentina we say "goles perdidos son goles en contra""missed goals are own goals".

[WhiteZekrom616]

I think this is extremely ironic.. I was coming back from Japan after a great tour. I was watching it on the airplane coming home I was kind of neutral about it, but I was routing for America. But I am extremely happy that Japan won, despite beating my country. I was in Osaka wearing my America shirt, before leaving back to the states, knowing that the game was going to be on. Congratulations to Japan for being the under-dog and never giving up.

[AlbanAC10]

hope solo and american no.13 are hot

[henriwang1]

I CAN'T BELIEVE JAPAN IS AT THE TOP OF THE WORLD!!!!! XD MEN DID WELL TOO!!!!!! GO JAPAN!!!!!

[ANVJuju0067]

japanese goals were scored in ninja style. lol

[tsnoop19]

YES!!! JAPAN is the BEST!!

[slashgamer100]

this proves usa girls arnt just pretty

[veganisextremelygood]

@slashgamer100 PRETTY, BUT NOT GOOD!

[herpaperwish]

There were so many goal chances for the USA but that crossbar was being a jerk during the game

[wasabi622]

The first soccer game that made me cry. Seriously epic battle by both teams!

[juki0h]

the japanese players are like ninjas, the first and second goal were crazy skillz

[nomurapredador]

Japan the Best forever !

[IxIZOMPIREIXI]

1:13 beast 

[wiwrd11]

congrats to japan!

[wiwrd11]

the women thriller of the world cup 2011: wambach vs sawa.

if you are not big you have to be smart; that's japan; they all look so small, but they are very skilful and unpredictable! in team usa there is power, strenghts and speed. This women soccer on high level!

abby wambach is unstoppable, mighty in the air and powerful on the ground, but homare sawa is full of imagination; she can produce magic in time of need.

[ihavegonecannibal23]

watching this video s reminds me of the feeling when i was watching "HOW THE HELL DID THAT NOT GO IN .... " japan should be thanking the post this thanksgiving...

[juki0h]

@ihavegonecannibal23 lol, the japanese dont celebrate thanks giving

[rod619]

i rooted for japan since i always go for the underdog japan proved just cause you have a stronger and better team doesnt mean you will always win japan team was made of hustle and heart simply wanted it more

[Shinji575]

Nippon Pride.

[juliolazaro28]

Die @Shuib

[shuib]

It's funny how SOME (not all) US fans are always in denial. What sore losers you guys are.

[nick1212olas]

02:04 this kumagai girl is such a cutie :)

[zbailor01]

It's so unfortunate when the wildly inept team wins a competition.

[nativ32]

@zbailor01 What do you mean by inept? You mean the team that managed to get even on score during regular time through struggle and sheer guts, despite everything, and had the capability to score more times during the penalty kicks? That sounds like us, brazilians, after loosing to Paraguay on similar conditions but with the male team. Hell, we were the inepts, by not being able to KEEP the advantage, or the so called superiority. Whoever scores wins, the shirt, the name, the skills mean little.

[leifsoren]

@zbailor01 It would have been but they didn't Japan won

[ft1598128]

@zbailor01 your whole families are inept

[wade2bosh]

Japan scored beautiful goals and never gave up. Gr8 game and great underdog story beating Germany Sweden and USA

[herpaperwish]

It's sad how the USWNT tried so many times to get the ball in that net but it just wouldn't go in.

[kiim1593]

soooo....how bout them '12 Olympics?

[123mycatrocks]

@robsten3797 wow thats a lot of smack talk from an ignorant internet geek. Who are you to say that the japanese got lucky in that win. The japanese played an overall better game than the usa. The japanese capatilized on the goal kicks at the end and the usa didnt. So just shut up and dont say that a bunch of girls that played their heart outs and won that game fairly got lucky.

[Headcheezonium]

I'm American and as much as I wanted to win, Japan needed this way more than us. They had to deal with so much shit in the last year and they deserved something to cheer about! Congratulations, Nippon!

[jjoker13g]

I wana thank both teams for making this one of the best matches this year. MALE & FEMALE. I was rooting for japan but wow what a battle. In the end Japan never gave up and came from behind to win. Well deserved. :D

[Conbomb14]

yah japan

[yougettyoutnow]

lol there cant be America and Japan on one youtube video without a heated debate about historical warfare

[oshokusho]

@WaywardWind

Thank you for clearing that up.Sorry that I freaking started raging it's just that's I'm japanese an took that kinda hard.but it's good now.

[MsDogwolf]

country. Japan prooved that can do many things (of course on the game battlefield because they prooved their power maaaany years ago). I just have to say that each team was good and they gave their best selfs. Japan was a bit more skilled.

[oshokusho]

@WaywardWind

How about you stfu and stop saying japan got lucky.YOU PROBABLY SUCK AT SOCCER AN EVERYTHING ELSE.stop being a fucking hater just because USA DIDN'T WIN!

[WaywardWinds]

pure luck. USA forever.

[MsDogwolf]

@WaywardWinds Yeah I agree with oshokusho. Stop acting like a fool. If it was pure luck explain me plz How can the 2nd USA shooter in the penalty do such a thing when Japan has luck? When you have luck you goal you dont make the other team lose goals. After all see the normal goals that is no pure luck. Of course in a game luck exists but NEVER pour luck exists NEVER this is a law on such games. After all USA is a epire not a country it is supposed to have the best players instead of a single->

[WaywardWinds]

@MsDogwolf @oshokusho Here's the truth: I believe that the American team overall was the better team. BUT, my comment came from a place of bitterness and stubbornness. THAT NIGHT, Japan was the better team.

Japan won the game, it's that simple. It was one game and America lost. Japan deserved it. Don't get offended when Americans make comments like I did, we just hate losing and it hurts. We can't stand it.

That said, I tip my hat off to Japan. Good victory, the team EARNED IT.

[TeppTennis]

@WaywardWinds your too naive to understand how the game works.

[babbyfaces]

incredible

[Logic3131]

Not that Japan got lucky in this game... but the U.S. were very unlucky...

[IRockify237]

I live in U.S.A but for some reason i was rooting for japan.

[EGCNoScope]

@IRockify237 lol

[molonlave2010]

As a Greek-American fan, I salute Japan for a wonderful championship. I still pray for those people who died in various natural disasters

[hayleyandavril]

The beautiful game JAPAN 2011 forever : )

[Armando316]

It was a great game overall. I thought our girls deserved it but sometimes thats how the game goes. It can be very cruel.

[Bryan911able]

heres what happened..... Japan never gave up that penalty kick with such a short time left. that happened because they fought they never gave in that girl hit some beast kik and Japan beat usa in penalty cause they had heart and passion

[MsBregenz]

Great sound effect of the shooting balls! It makes the film more fun!

[icytofuable]

alex morgan <3

[maharlikano]

how powerful Saki's kick here, the ball look like an arrow hitting the goal. shes my favorite.

[jkw82797]

i wanted the u.s. t owin, but with what japan has gone through i'm glad it went to them if the US had to lose

[q3huynh]

@dtrej1998 - Japan didn't deserve it because they had natural disasters, they deserved it because they had heart while USA were the cocky bullies

[pao23logamer]

@q3huynh the womens usa soccer team is cocky stfu kid japan won when they had heart and usa played amazing and they had heart and werent pissed of when they lost

[dmtmir1971]

@q3huynh comon man.. be honest.. there is nothing to do with what you said. these American girls played beautifully. it was their top game of tournament. just God was on Japanese said that day like he was on American in quarterfinals. And Japan deserved to win because it took almost all the chances they have got and it take a great spirit. they deserved to win because they fought to the end as Americans did. what about honest play then it Japanese girl who has got RED. so take like a man

[banklikefrankwhite1]

i can't like for her being hot, because, she is way better than hot, she is beautiful, in physical appearance, near perfection of her craft, and her relentless pursuit and passion toward her craft...that's beautiful

[whitethronebooks]

Wambach's shot at :29 was a frozen rope. A few inches too high.

[dtrej1998]

I go for usa but I gotta say they deserve it after the earthquake and tsunami

[MrWatchmen759]

@dtrej1998 really sir you have no life

[Monkey2ewok]

@MrWatchmen759 I think he is saying that Japan deserves *the win*.

[MrWatchmen759]

@Monkey2ewok sorry

[njoitp]

well done japan!
