US Women Lose to Japan in a Heartbreaker

The U.S.  Women's  Soccer team lost the World Cup in a  squeaker against Japan 3-1.

After a miracle win over Brazil last week, the U.S. couldn't repeat the win, but it sure was a close one.

It ended 1-1 after regulation, then 2-2 after overtime, then came down to a penalty-kick shootout, as did the Americans' quarterfinal victory against Brazil, which the U.S. team won to become an overnight sensation back home.

The Americans were vying to win the Women's World Cup for the third time.
