Marta, Wambach, Solo, and now Japan has put on a remarkable and unforgettable performance in this tournament.
Japan started off as a mere group stage team but shocked the world with their win over 2nd Ranked Germany. This followed with an impressive victory over 5th ranked Sweden. The icing on the cake was the victory against the 1st ranked USA team which happened to be the victory that won them a trophy and the hearts of many. Their inspiring performance was dedicated to the March Tsunami Tragedy that has caused 23,000 deaths or missing people in Japan. As they are trying to recover from this devastating event, the lady Blue Samurais proved that they sure are tough to beat even when they are down.
Twice going down a goal against the 1st ranked team, the second in extra period, was just a hurricane that put them off the course. However, they rose up, fought through it, and led to a victory that surely will help their country to rise again.
