FRANKFURT, Germany (AP)—Japan has won the Women’s World Cup, stunning the United States 3-1 in a penalty shootout Sunday night after coming from behind twice in a 2-2 tie.
Shannon Boxx, Carli Lloyd and Tobin Heath all missed penalties for the Americans, who squandered dozens of chances throughout the game and blew a lead just six minutes from winning their third World Cup title.
“It’s obviously heartbreaking,” Wambach said. “Japan played well. They never gave up.”
Japan became the first Asian nation to win the World Cup, doing it with its first win against the U.S. in 26 tries.
The Americans had taken the lead in the 104th minute off a header by Abby Wambach. Alex Morgan, who scored the first American goal, came up with a blocked cross and sent it to Wambach, who was camped in front of the goal on the 6-yard line. Standing a head taller—and then some—from defenders on either side of her, she needed only to nod the ball into the net.
But Sawa flicked in a corner kick in the 117th minute—earned after 36-year-old captain Christie Rampone raced to clear Yukari Kinga’s chip over Hope Solo off the line.
The Americans got one last chance when Morgan was floored by Azusa Iwashimizu just outside the area in the 121st minute. Lloyd, Boxx and Heather O’Reilly huddled behind the ball before O’Reilly tipped it to Lloyd. But Lloyd’s shot was well wide, and Heath couldn’t make anything happen with the rebound.
The United States had beaten Brazil on penalty kicks in a quarterfinal that was one of the most riveting games in the World Cup, men’s or women’s. But the Americans didn’t have the same touch Sunday.
“You don’t; you can’t,” U.S. coach Pia Sundhage said when asked to explain it. “Sometimes in, sometimes out.”
Boxx went first, and her shot banged off Ayumi Kaihori’s right leg. After Aya Miyama made hers, wrong-footing Solo, Lloyd stepped up and sent her shot soaring over the crossbar. As the crowd gasped, Lloyd covered her mouth in dismay. Solo saved Japan’s next shot, but Kaihori made an impressive two-handed save on Heath’s shot.
Solo came up with a save, and Wambach buried hers. But Japan need to make just one more, and Kumagai did.
I wish the Japanese Well. Congratulations. From the desk of Edward Cambas.

From the love desk of Eddie Cambas.
I understand that sometimes you are shy and do not know exactly what to do.
The next time you ogle that flawlessly gorgeous human specimen at the coffee shop, consider these words of wisdom from Katherine Gould, author of A Tiger in the Bedroom: focusing exclusively on a woman’s appearance may be a sign that you need to bring some higher brain functions — such as intelligence, intuition, and common sense — into play when searching for a mate.
How can you tell that you’re obsessed with looks over and above your date’s other attributes? Here are some surefire signs:
1. You are prone to downplaying your date’s non-physical flaws. Once, over dinner, I smiled and nodded as my date made a flat-out elitist comment, just because I thought she was cute (this is not a good sign). If you find yourself making excuses for your sweetie every time he or she speaks — “Oh, Jerry’s not much of an intellectual,” “Oh, that’s just Helen’s weird sense of humor” — you might be better off embracing your shallowness and trading your sweetie in for a department-store mannequin. But seriously, if you’re way over-valuing looks to the extent that you’re glossing over flaws… chances are, you haven’t met your match yet.
2. You zero in on the tiniest of “defects” to deem someone unworthy to date. I call this one the “Seinfeld Effect,” though it’s since turned up in other sitcoms as well. If you hear yourself delivering these erstwhile punch lines, try to stop and think about what’s really important in life: “She’s about five pounds too heavy,” “His nostrils are way too big,” “I’d ask her out on a second date if only she’d lose those glasses.” A real relationship doesn’t revolve around such details; you’re being too superficial and not focusing on what really makes a couple click.
3. You are — consciously or subconsciously — dating more attractive people to boost your own low self-esteem. “Do you need a good-looking date to make you feel better?” asks Debbie Mandel, author of Turn on Your Inner Light: Fitness for Body, Mind and Soul. “If you feel attractive and empowered, you’ll look for someone who is as positive as you are. That means someone with a sense of humor, who is a good listener, a caring individual — basically someone who knows what he or she brings to the table.” In other words, if you won’t settle for anything less than a piece of arm candy, that says a lot more about you than it does about your date. You’re with that super-attractive person in the hopes that he or she casts a “halo effect” of glamour on you… when the real issue is your own sense of self-worth.
How to go from the shallow to the deep end of the dating pool
Is there hope to break out of the rut you now realize you’ve fallen into with these shallow dating practices? Yes, say the experts, if you stop and do some hard thinking and focus on the tips listed below.
1. Put less emphasis on looks and more on chemistry when vetting potential love interests. “While looks are important, compatibility is the key to building great relationships,” says Liz H. Kelly, author of Smart Man Hunting. “You’ll live a happier life by marrying someone who’s a 10 in compatibility, even if he or she is only a 7 in the looks department.” In other words, you don’t have to hook up with someone you find physically unappealing, but you shouldn’t let a pair of glasses dissuade you from a second date.
2. If you’ve met on the Internet, don’t meet in person too soon. This may sound counterintuitive, especially to folks who feel that online dating is somehow “inauthentic” compared to a real-life, face-to-face encounter. “You should try to develop a relationship based on an exchange of personal information before exchanging photos or meeting in person,” says Alan R. Stafford, president of Relationship Success Experts in Charlotte, NC. That way, he says, you’re less likely to reject someone in person because of a small physical flaw — or because he or she’s really only a 7 when you were expecting a 10.
3. Look at the most in-love couples you know for inspiration. Chances are, they are not all pairings of perfectly gorgeous people. Spend time with the couples, and see how their lives are richer and happier thanks to the relationship. Ask yourself if you would rather have that love in your life with someone who complements you overall... or if it’s worth holding out in the hopes that you’ll meet a supremely attractive soul mate who just happens to have all the other qualities you seek, too. The choice is yours.

Jane Fonda./ What is going on?
A new controversy over Oscar winner Jane Fonda's Vietnam War activism caused the actress to come out swinging against home shopping TV network QVC on Saturday, over what she described as its caving in to "extremist" pressure to cancel her appearance.
In a blog posting on showbusiness website TheWrap.com, Fonda wrote that she was scheduled to appear on QVC on Saturday to introduce her book "Prime Time" about aging and life cycles.
But the network, Fonda wrote, reported receiving a flood of angry calls regarding her anti-war activism of the 1960s and 1970s, and it decided to cancel Fonda's appearance.
Four decades ago, the American actress angered Vietnam War supporters who gave her the nickname "Hanoi Jane" for her 1972 visit to the capital of North Vietnam at the height of the conflict. At the time, she posed for photos showing her sitting atop a Viet Cong anti-aircraft gun, and she remains an object of derision by some U.S. veterans and others.
Fonda, 73, has in the past expressed regret about those images, and in her post at The Wrap she took aim at QVC and her critics.
"I am, to say the least, deeply disappointed that QVC caved to this kind of insane pressure by some well funded and organized political extremist groups," Fonda wrote.
QVC acknowledged Fonda's appearance was canceled, but said it was because of a "programing change."
"It's not unusual to have a schedule change with our shows and guests with little or no notice," QVC spokesman Paul Capelli said in a statement.
"I can't speak to Ms. Fonda's comments, other than to confirm that a change in scheduling resulted in her not appearing today."
In 2005, Fonda was spat upon at a book signing in Kansas City, Missouri, by a man who said he was angered by her Vietnam War-era actions.
"Bottom line, this has gone on far too long, this spreading of lies about me!" Fonda wrote at TheWrap.com. "... I love my country. I have never done anything to hurt my country or the men and women who have fought and continue to fight for us."
The daughter of late screen legend Henry Fonda, the actress most recently starred in 2007 film "Georgia Rule." She won Oscars for roles in the films "Coming Home" (1978) and "Klute" (1971).
