Women's World Cup Soccer Final: USA Vs Japan

Today, the USA women's soccer team goes against Japan in the Women's World Cup, which is probably the most important soccer tournament for women, even more important than the Olympics.
The USA should be a heavy favorite as their soccer players are bigger and seem faster than the Japanese women's team and the USA has been world champs previously.
From ESPN: Team Destiny, meet Team Destiny.
When the U.S. scored on virtually the last sequence of the game against Brazil to force penalties in their thrilling quarterfinal, you felt it was going all the way at the Women's World Cup. Hope Solo and Alex Morgan thought that, too. Forget the magic of 1999 -- this crew was writing its own compelling history.

This has been a pretty good tournament. The USA beat Brazil literally in the last second in overtime in one of the games and of course, you have scandal when 5 North Koreans were busted for steroids- what a shock.
So, hopefully, the USA will become World Cup champs again.
