On Sunday, July 17th 2011, Japan won the FIFA Women’s World Cup over the favourites United States of America in penalty kicks 3-1. This win marks their first World Cup finals victory as well as their first win over the USA in 26 attempt. They have dedicated this whole tourney for their nation and also their friends and families that have been affected by the earthquake and tsunami in March.
After each game, the team unfurled a banner saying, “To our Friends Around the World — Thank You for Your Support.” After each game, Team Japan would unravel a banner saying “To out Friends Around the World – Thank You for Your Support”.
