I love how Japan is always so composed even when celebrating. Even when Miyama scored she instantly picked up the ball and didn't want to lose any time.
It has nothing to do with not wanting to waste time or being Japanese. Players all over the world do that after scoring when they're just tying the game or still down in the score, as for them it doesn't feel like a win completely, so they don't celebrate completely or don't celebrate at all.
Who's still watching in 2020? I saw this game live, Japan played their hearts out. USA were stronger physically, but they kept pushing and challenging. Well deserved. Brought tears to me eyes watching this again
This final was so beautiful coming off of the Earthquake and tsunami. The game itself was intense as Japan came from behind in regular time and again in extra to win in penalties.
I was studying abroad in Osaka, Japan at this time, watching this game with my friend at his house, they started crying once the final whistle was blown, such an awesome memory
@@Honorloyalty88 I like the weather here for sure !! Lol Also very convenient, people are so friendly !! Maybe too friendly sometimes. Lol. I've been living here for 35 years almost !! Thank you so much for your reply ! 💜🥁🐉🎤🎶💕💞
You should visit Japan & U.S.!! Ut's the best time to visit Japan now that yen is very cheap !! And lots of very nice capsule hotels & business hotels make it so affordable !! L.A.has great weather & friendly people & great foods ,cafes & restaurants to offer !! 💜🥁🐉🎤🎶💞
I'm Japanese. This game was really memorable and unforgettable, because it was held in 2011, when the Great East Earthquake and tsunami hit Japan. The disaster almost led our minds to be completely destroyed and feel Japan would disappear. Their spirits of never- give-up gave us a great courage and hope that Japan would definitely rise up again! We are so so proud of them!
This Japanese team was way ahead of their time. Homare Sawa's magic equaliser never fails to bring tears to my eyes, as does Saki Kumagai's penalty kick. Bayern München are so lucky to have this now legendary player in their squad.
12 years on and I still come back to this WC every time, my very first Women’s World Cup that I watched and it’s by the best for me, the chills just never seize to end.
the last corner by Japan was perfectly executed. They knew they were gonna lose heading since all American players are tall. Instead Sawa(goal scorer) went to the front to make contact. Perfect!!!!
I still remember I was cried when I heard Japan is the champion. This is the first time our Asian people on the top of the world in football history. Thanks, Japan.
@@bigbrycm6 because Japan were clearly the underdogs, and most times the neutrals root for the underdogs. It's different when both teams are evenly matched. Don't worry, the US got their revenge 4 years later, but for this game, many people around the world were happy Japan won, because of what had befallen them earlier that year: the earthquake, the tsunami, and the nuclear disaster at the Fukushima power plant. So now you know why people were happy Japan won.
@@saanvisharma2081 it doesnt make them special lol. every team needs discipline sports are a team effort. and japan is not even the best womens soccer team so hop off the weeb train.
Undoubtedly the greatest women's football game I have ever watched. Had absolutely everything. Miyama and Sawa were something else for Japan that night. Morgan and Wambach were big time too.
I'm Japanese and I watched this final game in Canada. We Japanese were suffered by huge earthquake and Tsunami in 2011 March 11. And I didn't expect Japan become the Champion but this team gave us so much happiness and hope!
4:24 goal reminds me a lot of Zlatan Ibrahimovic. It's possibly the best Women's World Cup goal that I've ever seen. And to see it done in a clutch moment as an Underdog gets extra points in my book. Amazing!
@@Trump-loves-the-uneducated-lol , Okay soTechnicaly, Brazil did not beat Italy in WC 1994, and Italy did not beat France in WC 2006. Please think first before you say something bro !
Why did this have me tearing up im not japanese and not even a watcher of womans football and yet i still found myself in tears watching the glee on their faces
People have special and glorious moments. This was one of them for the hard working women of Japanese football. It make take a while for such moments to come again but those memories always remain fresh.
I remember being a 5 year old Japanese boy and I was too nervous to see Japan lose so I only watched a portion of this game and went outside to play soccer and then heard my parents screaming with joy after
I watched that game live, huge respect to these japanese women. They play the game with so much flair and passion. Their passing, movement, dribbling all had so much flair. Im glad you guys managed to take the trophy home.
Loved this WC, and Japan did it all without controversy like is involved with so many other WC champions in both men and women's soccer. Well done Land of the Rising Sun, well done! Historical win.
Legendary women's game the crowd ,the teams,the difference between the two teams in terms of play style and mentality. Full of energy . Just amazing. Only the new team Spain is playing like this nowadays. Incredible women ❤.
I am American, and of course I was frustrated after this gams, but it was good to see Japan get the upset here. The country had been through so much that year, and hopefully this provided much-needed happiness and morale for the country.
I remember watching this game and was SOOO HAPPY :DDD that Japan won! The USA were a great team and were definitely expected to be tough but Japan came through, able to defeat 2 time champions USA and became the first Asian team to ever win an international Worlds Cup! This will be forever endearing and hopefully we get to see an African nation win at least one cup 1 day!
To me, that goal from Sawa has to be the best goal of all time. Sure, Wambach's goal against Brazil was the winner of that match, but Sawa's goal essentially won Japan the World Cup.
mshayashi Sawa's amazing goal was deflected off an opposing player, unbeknownst to her at the time. If her kick had gone in straight away, I'd agree with you.
i‘ve been watching football for more than 40 years... playing such a class tournament like homare sawa is a rarity... she was everywhere...i was completely blown away...
Yes you're right. I saw in Japan not the willpower how it was the case 2 years ago. It was clear that America has won the finale. They have played almost at home and are also bigger and more dynamic than the Japanese players. And the biggest reason, Sawa becomes older :(
is not america, is the united states or the us, usa, america is all the continent with all their countries. (Im from a country of south of the american continent), I dont like that jp call americans to US people.
@@mmorpgaddict125 yea America is both North, South , and the Caribbean. But for some odd reason us United States people get called Americans. But then again what else would we call ourselves? 😂😂😂
I dont watch womens football much but this was one of the best games of football ive ever seen; the Japanese women impressed me so much - They ran their hearts out; gave everything and deservedly won - All the best from Scotland!
This video is the most viewed women's match on the FIFA channel. This WWC 2011 final was the most important match in history for women's football to spread all over the world.

@@klodjanmehmeti1910how did they let Japan win 😂 ridiculous statements Japan just played much harder and much better that day. If Anything the USA were given the Win in 1999 against China. Nobody at that time liked Asians so they robbed China. Anyway the U.S was beaten at their own game as they say karma.
I kind of had a sense of "Inter Milan 2009" vibe for Japan on that day. I'm seriously rooting for Japan team, of course. They have strong will, determination and team work! There was nothing compared about technique and skills, only strong spirit can influence the whole game. Really amazing!
Look at the bigger picture. One team keeps winning isn't good for the popularity of the sports. Sure, Japanese team had some good luck but more importantly, they weren't giving up when they were behind and kept coming back. That's what makes the sports exciting to watch, under dog beats the odds.
allgoo19 Im from America and its kinda cool that Japan won. I was kinda bummed at the time but I think it's good to have other teams like that win. Especially since those two teams would never be in a world cup final on the men's side.
allgoo19 Absolutely agreed and well said! The American women's team are definitely one of the best teams but if they keep winning every cup it would be pretty boring, less people would watch and hatred would be spreading to the Americans. It's def great to see other teams win at least once and to show the world that every nation has good moments and can be true inspiring underdogs
+elvismendoza150 says: "Shame how the U.S. Women's soccer team is better than the men's -_-" == For the defense of the men's US team, US doesn't have a long history of professional soccer league unlike other countries. Even today MLS business is much smaller compared to other pro sports in US. On the other hand no country had women's professional soccer team until recently and still not many, so basically all women's team started out at level field, except US that is. If you ever heard of the term "soccer mom" you probably can see the enormous popularity of the sports among young girls in US. and it has been for decades that way, they have been itching to get started something like women's World Cup. It will eventually even out among the countries as more girls get into the sport and elite players get contract and go play for foreign countries. As for the men's soccer in US, it'll take much longer because the lack of motivation. Young kids just don't try soccer.
Much props to Wambach for showing what a true champion does in defeat, she showed much class and grace by shaking the opposing teams hands. She was the only American to congratulate the Japanese team. Congrats to a historical comeback win for Japan. Its an underdog story for the ages.
Looking back at this still makes me emotional. Japan is such a good team. They really did deserve this win. We'll see if they can make it again this year maybe :)
I remember watching this game with friends. We were absolutely devastated when Sawa scored that amazing equalizer in the extra time. This was one of the best Women's World Cup Finals I've watched! I can't wait to watch this year's WC! It's going to be exciting!
I think, eventually, someone is going to make a movie about this Japanese team, especially considering everything that had gone on back home that year.
Absolutely the BEST sporting drama in my life time. Japanese team's humility and hard work won them the World Cup while US team's arrogance and complacency cost them the World Cup. What a game!
I remember watching this live. One of the best games ever. Brings tears to my eyes. They never gave up, you could really feel their fighting spirit! Sawa was the best, making all the plays ❤ what a thriller till the end
One of the greatest upsets in all of sports, across gender, culture and time. Look at that team again: Wambach, Lloyd, Rapinoe, Solo!!! How could they lose? And yet they were beaten... I remember crying my heart out when their captain gave her address in kimono, dignified
I cried that day but not for our womans team but for Japan because it was well deserved and they needed that up lift after that horrible earthquake that affected the team and Japanese😢
The Japanese women are so talented and beautiful. Their skills are just amazing, so much discipline. I cannot get enough of these girls, I love watching them play.
This was recently after that catastrophic earthquake in Japan and even as an American I thought this help'D ease the pain of that country's tragedy for them'/!!!
I was so sad when we lost but Japan deserved to win. The country of Japan deserved that win after the tsunami. I remembered watching the game and saw the US kept hitting the posts right there I knew we would lose as if it was a Devine intervention.
Wow what a final. Japan you really deserved to win this World Cup 2011. USA was also fantastic but not lucky. One of beautiful WC final of Football/Soccer I witnessed in my life.

This final was so beautiful coming off of the Earthquake and tsunami. The game itself was intense as Japan came from behind in regular time and again in extra to win in penalties.
In a way I felt this good karma as Japan still not fully recovered, and still don’t how many perished.
it had shades of when the Red Sox won the WS after the boston marathon bombing for me. I was really glad for Japan to have that moment.
Gives you goosebumps, no doubt.
Today is the 10th anniversary of Japan's legendary win in this Women's World Cup Final. Sawa was a superstar.
And Saki Kumagai became one.

@@NazriBhow's it lies your country never won anything.

I kind of had a sense of "Inter Milan 2009" vibe for Japan on that day. I'm seriously rooting for Japan team, of course. They have strong will, determination and team work! There was nothing compared about technique and skills, only strong spirit can influence the whole game. Really amazing!
Look at the bigger picture.
One team keeps winning isn't good for the popularity of the sports.
Sure, Japanese team had some good luck but more importantly, they weren't giving up when they were behind and kept coming back.
That's what makes the sports exciting to watch, under dog beats the odds.
allgoo19 Im from America and its kinda cool that Japan won. I was kinda bummed at the time but I think it's good to have other teams like that win. Especially since those two teams would never be in a world cup final on the men's side.
allgoo19 Absolutely agreed and well said! The American women's team are definitely one of the best teams but if they keep winning every cup it would be pretty boring, less people would watch and hatred would be spreading to the Americans. It's def great to see other teams win at least once and to show the world that every nation has good moments and can be true inspiring underdogs
Shame how the U.S. Women's soccer team is better than the men's -_-

For the defense of the men's US team, US doesn't have a long history of professional soccer league unlike other countries. Even today MLS business is much smaller compared to other pro sports in US.
On the other hand no country had women's professional soccer team until recently and still not many, so basically all women's team started out at level field, except US that is.
If you ever heard of the term "soccer mom" you probably can see the enormous popularity of the sports among young girls in US. and it has been for decades that way, they have been itching to get started something like women's World Cup.
It will eventually even out among the countries as more girls get into the sport and elite players get contract and go play for foreign countries.
As for the men's soccer in US, it'll take much longer because the lack of motivation. Young kids just don't try soccer.
They think soccer/football is a girl sport or something?
All these wonderful female athletes are making women soccer a truly beautiful game.
That flick by Sawa STILL gives me goosebumps!
Much props to Wambach for showing what a true champion does in defeat, she showed much class and grace by shaking the opposing teams hands. She was the only American to congratulate the Japanese team. Congrats to a historical comeback win for Japan. Its an underdog story for the ages.
I cried of joy
Lets GO Japan
2022 still watching. I'm American and wanted USA to win but wasn't unhappy to see that Japan pulled the comeback. GG Japan ladies!
From USA leading twice 1-0, 1-1, 2-1, 2-2 before sadly lost in a penalty shootout.
I remember watching it with my Mum. So proud!
As an Asian male, filled me with pride. Respect ❤
I love this Japanese team. So much fun to watch.
Congratulations Japan, i love your country! Good luck next world cup from Argentina!
Looking back at this still makes me emotional. Japan is such a good team. They really did deserve this win. We'll see if they can make it again this year maybe :)
I remember watching this game with friends. We were absolutely devastated when Sawa scored that amazing equalizer in the extra time. This was one of the best Women's World Cup Finals I've watched! I can't wait to watch this year's WC! It's going to be exciting!
Japan love from Cameroon 🇨🇲
I think, eventually, someone is going to make a movie about this Japanese team, especially considering everything that had gone on back home that year.
j..
The inspiration is Captain Tsubasa
That's actually a great idea..
What happen back in Japan?

Absolutely the BEST sporting drama in my life time. Japanese team's humility and hard work won them the World Cup while US team's arrogance and complacency cost them the World Cup. What a game!
I remember watching this live. One of the best games ever. Brings tears to my eyes. They never gave up, you could really feel their fighting spirit! Sawa was the best, making all the plays ❤ what a thriller till the end
the Japanese goalkeeper is a legend

@@ivano1021 shut up
I've watched all their games back in the days. Such a great team.
this champion even sweeter and better when Japan won a WC 2011 in Germany, Deutschland fans support Nippon all the way
One of the greatest upsets in all of sports, across gender, culture and time. Look at that team again: Wambach, Lloyd, Rapinoe, Solo!!! How could they lose? And yet they were beaten... I remember crying my heart out when their captain gave her address in kimono, dignified
This is the best Women's football match I've ever watched. I remember ditching Copa America then for this match
wow u mus;;ve been high to have made that decision
@@Jeeon999 you probably didn't watch the game so calm down

2022 Men's World Cup Final was nothing compared to this. This was the greatest soccer/football game I've ever seen.
By a mile too, despite many say that 2022 Men's World Cup Final is the best WORLD CUP FINAL ever.
😂😂 penaldo fans cry
I cried that day but not for our womans team but for Japan because it was well deserved and they needed that up lift after that horrible earthquake that affected the team and Japanese😢
震災があった年なんだよな
本当に凄かった

The Japanese women are so talented and beautiful. Their skills are just amazing, so much discipline. I cannot get enough of these girls, I love watching them play.
🤣🤣🤣
I remember watching this game and was supporting Japan. Great win from Japan!!
This was recently after that catastrophic earthquake in Japan and even as an American I thought this help'D ease the pain of that country's tragedy for them'/!!!
Japan, please win the championship again.

kougun2007 France in CAN 2015!
kougun2007 FRANCE will win mark my words
USA I think have to win the 2015 women's World Cup
Oh no it's not time for USA it's time for Canada and a revenge Go Canada proud to be Canadian
the best thing is that both teams respect each other. I love the US team too. We Japan were raised to the level where we are today by USA.
Shun T The Japanese put their effort to be that level by themselves.
Jenni,
Thank you for saying that.
5:50 what a perfect shot！！！
Yep, no keeper in the world is stopping that one. Precision under pressure.
Thank you Japan!! We were all rooting for you!! Much love to you from Mexico ♥
I was so sad when we lost but Japan deserved to win. The country of Japan deserved that win after the tsunami. I remembered watching the game and saw the US kept hitting the posts right there I knew we would lose as if it was a Devine intervention.
Nope
Wow what a final. Japan you really deserved to win this World Cup 2011. USA was also fantastic but not lucky. One of beautiful WC final of Football/Soccer I witnessed in my life.
Japan you’re in my heart ❤️ I loved this team
Usa and Japan has a great love for each other and the great England love Japan!
