      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.

    This WWC 2011 final was the most important match in history for women's football to spread all over the world.
    Morgan, Miyama, Wambac, and Sawa. Kaihori and Solo who defended the goal of the penalty shootout.
    People around the world were moved by the final battle between the two countries.
    This match was the catalyst for a big step forward for women's football.
    The real winner of this match was women's soccer. Since this match, the world has come to regard WWC as the most important event.
    Surprisingly, this WWC2011 was treated as a qualifier for the London Olympics for European teams.
    Until 2011, the Olympics were considered more important than the WWC.

    That's what makes the sports exciting to watch, under dog beats the odds.

      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

      ==
      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.
