Japan should win this tournament. Very impressive side. After watching 90mins you wanna watch more.

Fuka kawaiii <3 Japan missed a lot of passing in 1st half, although they still had more than 60% possession. But then they totally dominated 2nd half.

Japan playing with much tactical awareness! Nice one, ladies.

The one-touch pass that led to Japan's second goal was sweet.

It's 2023 as I write and some of these girls are in the world cup. Ueki, the number 8 who just scored against Spain, Hasegawa too I think... and to think I remember some other spectacular players from youth teams who seemed even better like Sugita and Nariyama? (a striker n9 with incredible dribble) who are not there, maybe they were before I don't know.

Let's hope that this loss will help the USA🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸⚽️ will make them better players in the long run.

ALL PLAYERS, PLAYED STAMINA FULL, POWERFUL, ENERGY FULL, TECHNICAL FULL AND
SOME ONCE IS EXTRAORDINARY AND SOME ONCE IS SUPER
BUT WINER IS

[zaka]

this japanese side might be the best at the u-17 level that we've seen in a while..these japanese girls are just so good. absolutely destroying everyone. The US forwards just aren't skillfull enough for teams like japan, besides Ashley Sanchez who is an impressive player

[ELPIOJOBOLUDO]

That's what happens when you win your first match by blowout. It showed in the second match against Ghana when the underestimated the African team. Japan is more tactical and disciplined and better coached than the US girls.

Just accents the issue that our future top women's team will face. All the clubs like these pretty central midfielders who lack the defensive edge. Goals 2 and 3 came from a lack of at least one of those midfielders backtracking and the defense being over run in numbers. We have fell in love with the pretty dribblers. Midfield is a gritty part of field built for balanced players in my opinion. Coaches are sticking a lot of these players on the back line, sacrificing them for the "Wow did you see those foot skills!" non defense playing turnover machines. Balanced players allow your pretty dribblers space because they make great passes, don't lose possession while attacking positively and get back on defense.

POWERFUL, ATTRACTIVE AND NICE
BUT WINER IS

[EmperrHrde]

Damn it. First the senior team fails at the Olympics - with one of their star players being forced off the team in disgrace, her accomplishments and accolades forever forgotten in casual circles - and now this. Not a good year for the USWNT.

But it happens.

[johnrogers]

After the way the USNWT acted, it is so satisfying seeing the U.S. lose.

[brosephjames]

The U-20s will be eliminated later this year as well. Hopefully this means an overhaul of the youth system, starting with finding new competent coaches.

[FoodieAffordableBySuperAte]

Cant for these japanese girls future looks bright for japanese football

[xavierchurch]

that goal that was taken back by usa was a masterpiece

[hekatoncheir]

"REMEMBER CANADA 2015" Lloyd made our girls kick yours out.

[adammazziotta]

I like how they omit the goal that was called offsides what wasn't. Eitherway Japan was the better side but really???

[thegoodjinn]

the American look like Normandy at the end
