World Cup: Japan 2, England 1


A heartbroken Laura Bassett might be the image of this World Cup as England surrender an own goal in the 92nd minute. World Cups produce drama, men’s or women’s. Now Japan moves on to face the USA.

  1. The level of satisfaction associated with this type of failure is immeasurable, thank you Wolf – if only it involved USC or Lane Kiffin, then this blog would have meaning again

  2. No mention that the Japanese penalty was an even worse call than the US one yesterday? At least Alex Morgan was close to the penalty area when she was brought down.

  3. Has nothing to do with USC in any way. She’s lucky she isn’t Columbian

  4. wolfman, this Vine is a bummer, feel sorry for the kid.

    NOW, the Vine of Pete’s “Oh NO!!!!” in the Superbowl, THAT was sublime!!!!

  5. Just a horrible way to lose. Poor girl was a mess after the game. How does she ever get over something like this??

  6. This is the danger of being a high profile athlete, the possibility that your play could stand out as being the sole reason for your team losing.

    This poor girl will think of that disastrous moment every day of her life.
