Well, ESPN is US-centric, so obviously the commentating is going to be more exciting when the US is in the game.

I see everyone is still too shocked to post.

It was a good game. We had our chances. I think our team completely its focus after the second Japan goal.

Good for Japan, they needed a boost this year.
