The first time I saw the Japanese team I said they would be damn tough to beat.......and that was awhile back when they were playing here in the States. The first game I saw them in the WC Iwas impressed all to hell with their ball handling. Today the American side just didn't play up to their usual high standard although they hung in with their "heart attack" style. Had they scored on any of those early attempts it might have been different. Both teams provided a good show and if we couldn't win then I was happy to see it go to Japan.......they need a boost.
