After that heartbreaking (and unlucky) loss to Japan. To pick themselves up and beat the number one ranked team in the world, a team they had never beaten. Amazing. I'm so impressed with their coach. So impressed with the entire team. Especially impressed with the wonderful outpouring of good will for this team, for exemplifying the best of competition, and leaving it all on the pitch.
