Japan won its first football World Cup today when they defeated U.S.A on penalty kicks after a 2-2 draw. With the victory Japan became the first Asian country to win a football World Cup and bought much needed cheer to their country.
With earthquake, tsunami and meltdown at a nuclear plant, it has been a bad year for Japan. For this reason, the Japanese team was the sentimental favorites for the tournament and the team delivered. They were the giant-killers of the tournament defeating Germany, Sweden and the U.S.A in a row to capture the title.
They came to play for their storm-ravaged country and left with the Women's World Cup trophy. In the world of football nowadays, feel-good stories like this are too rare. Japan; World Champions!
