With the Men's WC going on, they had me in the first half not gonna lie 😅

This was an incredible World Cup for Japan. They lost to England in Group stages. Beat hosts Germany in the Quarter Finals who were tournament favourites and had topped their group. Came from a goal down against Sweden to win 3-1 in the semis. In the final they were down 2 times, in normal time and extra time only to equalise minutes before full time and extra time expired respectively. Overlaying this, the 2011 tsunami in Japan which devastated and killed many only happened a few months beforehand.

That last goal was what every footballer, man or woman, dreams of making in a penalty shootout. Well done Japan

I love the rivalry between the US and Japan's women's' teams.

That commentary voice is sooooo nostalgic and legendary......u know it's the World cup when u hear this voice

bruh they took penalties better than their male squad😓

Even with only 1.70 Ayumi Kaihori became a “giant” in front of the US penalty takers, that's why Japan's victory in the 2011 Women's World Cup final was so memorable for me, in my opinion.

Well deserved win! Congratulations Japan! 🇯🇵🇯🇵🇯🇵

Great to see an Asian country win in football. Well done Japan your a credit to all Asian people 👏🏽 👍🏼 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽❤️😊💯💪🏽💪🏽🎊

I love the anticipation from the last penalty kick. Kumagi freaking Aced it.

Who comes here after Japan lost to Croatia in penalty shoutout

20 year old Saki Kumagai smashing that top bins with the last kick is absolute nerves of steel

5:27 i like how she just tripped. 🤣🤣

That last penalty was clutch. She smacked it right into the upper left corner. No fear.

May I remind y’all that this happened the same year when that big earthquake and even bigger tsunami hit Japan? It must’ve given the Japanese citizens some happiness during a hard year :’)

The pressure is palpable. It brings out the worse or the best in players esp at the highest level of competition in the World Cup. Congrats to Japan and their amazing comeback story. Props to Wambach for showing a lot of class and grace in her defeat. Shes the only one to shake hands with the Japanese players when the final whistle blew. Our legacies are more than just winning. Keep rockin it steady.

Cant wait for the world cup 22.still 8 days🤩🤩🤩

And this is my recommendation after Croatia beat Japan in penalty shootout 😅😅

Congratulations Japan.. love from India...💞

Actually didn't knew this. Japanese women's team has a world cup!? That really says something.

Great job japan. One of the best Asian countries to watch football. This was great to watch. These women were great.

Congratulations Japan!!

Japan's one penalty was better than their entire penalties taken by men's team 💀

Congratulations Japan 🇯🇵⚽🏆great woman

これは本当に忘れられない😊

Congratulations to my beloved country Japan ❤❤❤❤ nation which truly deserves respect and love 💕

Nice to see that nobody complains about the male commentator in the woemen's match. I've seen a lot of people complain about female referees and female commentators in men's football matches.

This could be consider as one of the greatest stories in sports history.

If I remember correctly, that year the women team won the world cup while the men Japan team won the Asian cup 2011.

One of the best game Ive ever experienced in my life🤩

延長戦終盤に同点に追いつくものと追い付かれたものがPK決着で決めるメンタルの差が大きかった

"Japan wins the world cup 2011" They had us in the first half,not gonna lie🤣

Japan my adorable Nation after my country India . Japan the great Nation and nice to see winning the world Cup .

That first stop was fire

I have watched this and followed all of their match while i waited for announcement of my job applicant after i graduated from high school.. if i can remember, japan never lost in the whole games on this world cup.. So insane !!!

Love when the USA lose at any sport puts a smile on your face

One of the happiest days of my life!

Japan is the first Asian country who won the World Cup!!

en este mundial y el 2023 quedó demostrado que no siempre las favoritas ganan ,al contrario del fútbol masculino qué ya sabes quien va a ganar, incluso antes de que empiece el mundial

Japan is the first Asian country to champions of FIFA women's world cup def. USA , the giant of world women football .

Crazy fact is that each Japanese player only earn like $700 a month playing soccer (except the captain Homare Sawa who is the queen of JPN women soccer league) - no sponsorship fee from company like Nike or anything - literally nothing - they live in a dormitory and just practice - as nobody cares about women's soccer in Japan. They just play to win, nothing else. Then this happens. Amazing.

Wow,,, Congratulations to Japan. A Filipina fan here rooting for you. Your co-👍👍👏👏👏 Asian.

interesting to see debut of The Philippines , Vietnam and Zambia in FIFA women world cup 2023 .

I remembered this just like yesterday. Epic showdown.

that was such a fantastic match. gutted

Japanese male squad played impressive game in this world cup, they played like Ninja, like the way the shot the ball it was really impressive . I was routing for them. But they disappointed me with the penalty,I learned messi and ronaldo make penalty kicks look easy, I also learned how they did it. Kicking a penalty you always want to avoid eye contact with the goalkeeper, also don't stand in predictable way unless you are Ronaldo. 3dly, shoot the ball with power.. there something I find intriguing with messi's penalty. They make a move that simulates the shooting of a ball before the actual shot out and that move will psychology confuse the goal keeper. That's why you often times see the goalkeeper in a completely different direction. penalty is an art. You can't just go out and be a professional artist overnight. The key to a successful penalty is psychologically confusing the goalkeeper. You don't even need to shot the ball harder if you can accomplish that.

8 days left can't wait 🤩🤩🤩🇮🇳🇧🇷🇮🇳🇧🇷

The japanese goalkeeper was like Livaković VS Brazil in penalties🔥🔥

I love ❤️ watches this penalty kicks.

I remember this game, supporting Japan

Jappan 💛

When Kumagai scored and most of the Japanese players and staff ran to Kumagai, only Miyama acted differently. She was there to comfort and heal the great losers of the USA.

Yeah boy i love you japan

How did I get this recommendation after Japan lost to 🇭🇷 😂😂

My heart skipped a beat for a second

3:44- "Wambach puts the ball in for USA, they've got one back, from Wambach" 😂🤣🤣

The greatest national sports glory at a global level in Japan is done by women🇯🇵⚽️💗🏆✨

I enjoyed this so much. I was so happy for the Japanese. It was a great match.

2011 was the year of underdogs.

Praying for another asian country winner for this upcoming fifa womens world cup 2023. P........

Out of all the times to have an absolute stinker of a penalty shootout, the US couldn't have picked a worse time. Boxx's penalty was poor, Lloyd's was absolutely dreadful and Heath didn't look like she wanted to be there. Her penalty was so tame. And that's not getting onto Solo. She was going stupidly early. Even then how did she not save Sakaguchi's penalty? Miyama made her look silly too. That penalty from Kumagai was incredible though. 20 years old, a defender, who's just played 120 minutes against Abby Wambach, and never scored for her country before, against probably the best keeper in the world at the time to win the world cup for her country the first time? To stick your penalty in the top corner in that situation is unbelievable

Congratulation japan Love from nepal🇳🇵💖✊

I think Women's football deserves some more respect. Just look at the way these Japanese players hit the ball, with perfect technique. As for the Americans...😅

Totally deserved 🏆. The best in the world. Arigato...

Wohoo! Congratulations Japan 🎉🎉🎉🍾🍾🍾👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼🫶🏼🫶🏼🫶🏼

வாழ்த்துக்கள் ஜப்பான் ஆடவர் பிரிவை பெரிதும் எதிர்பார்த்தேன் இருப்பினும் மகளிர் கோப்பையை கைப்பற்றியது மகிழ்ச்சி இதற்கு தகுதியானவர்கள்

My Japan 🇯🇵 🏆🏆🏆🏅🏅❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Congratulations to the samuraï girls! 🤌👑🎉

rewatching this now, Japan's form in 2023 wc looks like they will do it again. just demolish spain in there group a while ago

As Indian 🇮🇳 , I am Happy to Japan's Women's Team win the World Cup Because it is a Asian Country ❤❤❤

Why is this in my recommendation after they were beaten by Croatia? 😅

Weldone japan u made my day

Proud to be an Asian ❣️💪💪

Germany, Sweden, and USA in 2011 were one of the strongest teams in history of women's football World Cup. Japan beat all of them, and that made them incredible.

Wish the men's team won the World Cup 2022

I remember crying after this loss, was heartbroken!😭

JAPAN 💖💖💖💖

GLORY FOR ASIA... FEEL PROUD FROM INDIA...

Japanese goal keeper played well👍👍

My recommended video after rewatching the Closing Ceremony of the 2022 World Cup. Fitting. 😄

Japan earned it

Congratulations Japan! Nam myoho renge kyo 🙏🏾

Thought this was blue lock for a second

Golkeeper of japan 🔥

so well deserved. especially for Japan after suffering so much with the tsunami and Fukushima.

Lo que RU-vid me recomienda hasta ahora

This is for hiroshima

japan defeated usa in germany ... indeed rewritten the history

@0:51 Is why everyone laughs at women’s soccer … that goal keeper didn’t even try to stop that kick and it was completely possible from where she was at if she would have just dove 6 inches to her left instead of staring at it like a statue 🤦🏻‍♂️😂🤣

They've got one back from Wambach... That was funny😂😂

It's tomorrow! ✌️❤️ Can't wait waiting waiting

First asian country to win world cup❤Japan ❤from India

Asian powerhouse of the world.

Sweet revenge of Nagasaki & Hiroshima. Japan defeated the USA with kindness and love for the sports.

Japan waiting for the men's world cup

Proud of Asian football Japan and South korea ❤

Japan, The Miracle
