All the girls were tough today, for both teams, in this World Cup finals match. A big tip of the hat to Japan, who rallied and hung tough till the end, but this is a wonderful Fourth of July present for the US. Abby Wambach, holding the flag. Those girls are fierce. :)

What an exiting game right from the start!! Yes, happy 4th of July for sure. We've been waiting for the chance to beat Japan after they beat us in 2011. Well done ladies!
It was an exciting ride...lovely capture of the big event! We were watching it on Jim's iPad -- no TV service here at the moment. Thank goodness for the Internet!
It was a tough loss, but we beat Germany for third place (who we have not beaten in 20 attempts) and got further than we have in over 30 years, so it is something to build on.The attention of the nation is now on Andy Murray, Chris Froome, our cricket team, and Lewis Hamilton...we do love our sports in the UK even if we struggle!
@ukandie1 You beat Germany! I didn't know... so delighted for you. Wonderful, redemptive victory, especially after that crushing loss. What great news!
