JAPAN IS THE WORLD CHAMPION
The triumph of the Japanese becomes concrete on penalties, after an exciting game that saw the United States give the World to opponents.
Japan World Champion 2011! His star, Homare Sawa, 33-year-old INAC Leonessa midfielder, wins the Adidas Golden Shoe as the winner of the top scorer with five goals in front of Wanbach and Marta with four and is awarded the Golden Ball, as best player of the World tournament. Japan in awe for this well deserved victory and Americans disappointed for having thrown the third world title to the wind.
The United States played this final best, they immediately attacked, aware of having their best weapon in their athletic performances, and they put in difficulty the girls of the Rising Sun who resisted and managed to counter their opponents. The first half ends in scoreless with the Americans recriminating numerous missed net actions, two piles and no doubt they deserved something more.
