Probably my favorite goal of all time. It came from an angle that seemed impossible at a point when everyone thought US's victory was assured. Sawa is a legend.

[RedFoxAce]

So many factors had to align just right for that ball to go in. The angle, the flick, the other players who could have deflected it; it really was a one-in-a-million shot.

[Dabeachguy]

Her humility only makes her that much more amazing both as a player and a person!

[rsalvador]

That's the best goal anyone has ever scored in a Women's World Cup. Ms. Sawa is her typical humble self to say she couldn't repeat that shot. Incredible role model.

[abekasu]

Don't forget #8, Aya miyama, she was a great support for Homare Sawa

[brightdaysaheadofUs]

Great player but still very humble. Not flashy, a great inspiration to the youth.

[ginolerebours]

One of the greatest players of all time

[baclightning]

The greatest clutch goal in the history of the sport, male or female.

[aldente]

This goal will probably stay the best sport goal of all time to me. I never get bored watching this scene again and again. It took them 30 years, but this is a fabulous example of how a poor team can achieve the ultimate when determined.

[prinzdodo]

The most memorable goal in the history of the FIFA Women's World Cup finals. What a delivery from Aya Miyama and what an execution by Homare Sawa.

[LopsidedCircle]

she is absolutely incredible. even americans cheered for that goal

[youngcho]

I just got done watching that goal from like 5 other videos starting with the highlights of that game. What an awesome shot. I kinda wish I didn't watch this video to hear her say that she couldn't make that shot again. In my imagination I thought that was her signature kick and she saved it for the most crucial moment. Respect!

[deusimarjunior]

Homare Sawa: “American players are tall”, that's why I cheered so much for Japan in that game, because it was a true battle between David and Goliath.

[naruhide_fukami]

これだけ世界に澤選手が絶賛されてる。うれしい。素晴らしい
(Sawa is so praised by the world. I'm happy. Great.)

Are we headed for another memorable moment in the Canada 2015 Final?

[KuKuKlock]

2011 Japan women’s team is my GOAT team. Beautiful.

[chrisgooi]

Great yet humble. What an awesome player. Better then most of the male modern EPL players.

[ramondantasoliveira]

Faz 8 anos que a seleção japonesa não vence o mundial feminino principal, mas no ano passado conquistou a tríplice coroa após ganhar o mundial feminino sub-20.

[tay._.]

Even though it was against the US and I love the US a lot, it was still a great goal

[Lcsmu]

I have seen this goal dosens of time. I still cant understand exactly what happened.
