USA up 2-0 after 5 mins, Carli Lloyd with both goals. Rubbish defending from Japan from two set pieces.
Ah for fucks sake
4-0. Holiday with a superbly executed volley after more defensive shambles from Japan. Lloyd with her hat trick from the halfway line and now almost got her fourth.
Nips’ lack of height telling against them.
Keeper was funny for the goal from half way.
Game on

They’ve been ripped apart by Uncle Samurai.

The trophy itself if fairly underwhelming. Would almost lost on the mantelpiece.
