I love how the players give each other the medals. So proud of them all. Congrats on a job well done. The future of Olympic Games.

This was the medal of the Olympics for me. So emotional to see Ueno close it out at hone after 13 years since they won in Beijing. Brilliant game.

I've been on softball fever since this match at the Olympics, so happy to see softball back on the olympic line up!! i loved the competitive spirit and brilliant plays in this match.

Japan wanted it more. This was evident from the first baserunner who attempted to go headfirst onto 1st base.

Lol I would have hoped in the OLYMPICS the women would have gotten a legit softball field. Not a baseball field with a temporary outfield wall, a temporary mound, and bringing the bases in. Looks so make-shift having no dirt in the infield and just having the bases sitting on grass. I say this as a baseball and softball lover, it just makes the whole experience seem cheap having the two best softball teams in the world competing for a gold medal on a make-shift field.

If these two teams meet again in the Olympics, we would need to call this senior league softball.

The US scored 6 runs total in the Olympic, that can only get you so far. Congratulations to Japan’s men and women for taking gold.

I know I don't live in Canada but I will move if that means I could have the opportunity to play for their amazing team. You can feel the love and support they have for each other.

[roderickbawcutt]

I really wish fans were allowed to watch this game in person. I would have loved to see the japan fans going crazy as their country won gold

[BACHATEROU]

They should get a professional softball field. They deserve it!

One of the most heart wrenching games of the Olympics for me. Really wanted this one for USA and i felt every bit of grief this loss cause them. They had played so well all season. Beaten Japan twice in the world champs and had a perfect 5-0 this Olympics tournament, only to loose in the final round which counted the most. They played exceptionally well nevertheless and have absolutely nothing to be ashamed of!

The problem countries in certain sports is that many of the players play on their Olympics teams for many years and are much older than the players they are competing with. Not sure about softball but you see the same players over and over again. Cuba did it for many years in Olympic Boxing.

Jujur aja saya berharap baseball & softball bisa diperhatiin di Indonesia. Kayaknya dua olahraga ini gak pernah ditayangin di TV Indonesia. Bahkan saat Indonesia yg jadi tuan rumah tetap gak tayang di TV.
