    Shating on German fans, telling them they got demolished into the 1980s, they will be scrambling for answers with no hope for the next 10 years, just abusing them over there.

    2nd goal thanks to Johnston's back flick to Japan defender's hand and to Lloyd...

    I thought that goal had more to do with the great placement of the ball by Japan than anything Johnston did. What was she supposed to do?

    Think they're referring to the 2nd US score by Lloyd not the 2nd Japanese goal.
