I've watched every replay I can find, and I have to say that the English player deserves an Oscar for the fall that got the PK awarded.

[@Nabhuto]

one of the best own goals i've ever seen

The own goal was some serious karma. The england penalty resulted from a pathetic dive so i suppose it all ended fairly after that own goal.

Wow Houghton really is a great actor

[@zg.v3]

The most unluckiest and heartbreaking moment of women's soccer I've ever seen. This is coming from a Germany fan.

[@lonelychimney4395]

Random Stuffz That's why you didn't realize that France's defeat was worse than England's. Eliminating the best team in the competition on a dodgy PK when they were refused 2 valid ones. That's terrible refereeing.

[@zg.v3]

Valentin Birette Yeah but England's lost was so sudden and unexpected even the Japanese fans weren't really cheering. And besides upsets happen ,even in women's sports, like 2-0 to Colombia. I doubt anyone thought that would happen.

[@yugdesiral]

lol, they deserved to lose after that dive. and what a terrific shot lmao

[@richardbertrand6249]

Japan impresses me like no other team. How is it that a national team plays like barcelona... it's crazy.

[@aaadragon1211]

To be fair, England's own goal was the result of offensive pressure from Japan. Between losing the ball to the Japanese player who could then shoot & probably score, England's player decided to kick it over the cross bar. Without pressure, she could do it comfortably; under pressure, it was a fantastic goal, by the wrong side. :-(

[@vincentgallagher7562]

Iwabuchi and Ogimi aka Nagasato were in position for the pass from Kawasumi, they were and are two of the best players in the world along with numerous others. It was a valiant, but foolhardy effort by Bassett.

[@GETNAKD]

That penalty decision gifted to England was clearly wrong.

[@sperrin]

So was Japan's. So they cancelled each other out.

[@makavelismith]

Ah, absolutely gutted for the poor girl who was just stretching too much to get the contact she was going for on the OG. The thing that stands out though besides that has to be those 2 "penalties". I think the first one was maybe outside the box and a free and I have to say that i'm just amazed at how the ref thought the 2nd was a penalty. . absolutely nothing happened to warrant a foul. Shocking stuff.

[@makavelismith]

Dermot Moriarty Having taken a 2nd look at it, she was a bit out of position and should have been running a bit harder to get back. If she had managed that, she wouldn't have been under so much pressure to clear it in the first place.

[@vartangevorgyan6761]

Gumballs machine

[@principesky]

*Stop say "England deserved to lose because of that dive". Japan was gifted firstly with a PK outside the area. It was 2 mistakes of the ref, no sides was totally helped at the end. It was a good game by the two teams.*

[@jesmesHD94]

Devastating. There couldn't be a worse way to get knocked out. It probably would've been a tap in anyway.

[@lonelychimney4395]

***** There is worse, take a look at FRA-GER. PKs refused to France and bs one granted to Germany.

[@jesmesHD94]

[@lonelychimney4395]

***** lol And FRA-GER 82^^ Germany seems to be stealing a lot of games...

[@antoinescotto]

That's what you get for falling in the box, that was not an england penalty, that was pure diving skills

[@maxprintscreen4972]

Go japan!!!crush american . From korea^-

[@zuxyzuxy]

Both penalties are doubtful.

[@theinsanedreamer]

Of course an own-goal is heartbreaking, but England should never have gotten that penalty in the first place (what a dive!). Japan's PK was perhaps questionable, but while contact was initially made outside the box it clearly a fowl by the last defender, and the action continued into the box, so I think that one stands. As for the OG, if the English defender hadn't gotten a foot on that ball it was going straight to the Japanese striker with a 2-on-1 excellent chance at goal. So in all, Japan deserved to win.

[@StellarFella]

Yes, but that threat should have never happened in the first place. Toni Duggan kicked the ball long downfield when she should have just killed the clock through possession and let the match go into overtime. Carney had just come in the match and Sampson kept Kirby on the bench. Bad subbing.

[@sperrin]

Japan's PK most definitely shouldn't have been called.

[@EnglishWilde]

A real shame because England hammered Japan in this game, Anyways congratz to Japan & COME ON ENGLAND!.. massive improvements going on in the team right now.

Cheers Japan! Go for the Coup! :) :) :) England should be very proud of what they have achieved over all. Today wasn't their day. I'm just devastated for them and especially Laura Bassett. She has come through years and years of not playing in major tournaments. Finally she got her chance to be a stalwart at the heart of defense. They have shown so much strength in so many areas and so much depth. And for it all to be over in flash, to be all snatched away in the dying seconds has left us all speechless. I know i wanted England to lose because i'm in favor of Japan but........ I don't wanted England to lose like this Q.Q cheers England for the 3rd place against Germany

What's with the quality of referees in the women's world cup?

In their last possession, Duggan failed to pass the ball across the field to an open Carney. Instead, she tried to force it to Jill Scott and Japan got possession of the ball going the other direction and we all know what happened next. England just had to hold possession a minute or so more and then go into overtime. Fran Kirby should have been brought into the game sooner and Karen Carney had just come in the game. She should have been brought in sooner as well. What a waste.

Unfortunately, today sports should be spectacular to sell. It has become essentially commercial, being in last place the role of physical and mental healthy activity, and its educational and social responsibility function. The most spectacular is a play (better if with wounds and injuries) get more money the sports organization and its satellite business. Ethics and values do not participate in the game. The world is ruled by the power of money. So we continue to destroy our planet, dear friend. (Sorry for the bad translation)
