The Women's World Cup

Q.  How did you feel when Japan won?
A.  I was reminded of when the New Orleans Saints won the Super Bowl:  if YOUR town had gone through Hurricane Katrina, wouldn't ANYONE want your team to win the Super Bowl?  For earthquake-devastated Japan, this is that kind of morale boost.  I feel it's hard to boo about how your team should have won when the other side needs a morale boost that badly.  I looked at the crestfallen U.S. team and the wildly screaming Japanese and thought:  good for Japan, they really needed this one.
Time for you to weigh in: How did YOU feel?

    Now that you put it in words, I guess that is the reason felt happy to hear this news...

    I felt very conflicted while watching it. At heart I was rooting for the US team... but knowing what Japan has been through this year, I kind of wanted them to win, too!
