Japan beats USA at FIFA Women’s World Cup; “Angry Bird” seen at game | Japón vence a EE.UU. en la copa mundial femenina de la FIFA; un “Angry Bird” visto en el partido

[English]

Though the US soccer team lost against Japan at the FIFA Women’s World Cup Finals on penalty kicks, it is a great moment of happiness and pride for the country of Japan while still facing problems related to the earthquakes and tsunamis that caused lots of harm to them in March of this year.

Congratulations Japan (日本おめでとう!) for becoming the newest FIFA Women’s World Champions, and thank you to the Women’s US team for giving us more moments of soccer excitement (especially the victory against Brasil which made the US live again the moments of last year’s FIFA World Cup).

And if you watched the soccer game (or not) and missed the Angry Birds reference after the US team scored its second goal, here’s a pic. Also, an ESPN image of the Japanese victory follows.

[Español]

Aunque el equipo de fútbol de EE.UU. perdió contra Japón en la final de la Copa del Mundo femenina FIFA por penales, es un gran momento de felicidad y orgullo para el país de Japón mientras que todavía se enfrentan a problemas relacionados con a los terremotos y tsunamis que causaron gran cantidad de daño a ellos en en mes de marzo de este año.

Felicitaciones a Japón (日本 おめでとう!) por convertirse en el nuevo país campeón de la Copa Mundial femenina, y gracias a la selección femenina de los EE.UU. por darnos más momentos de emoción fútbolística (sobre todo la victoria contra Brasil que hizo que los EE.UU. vuelva a vivir los momentos del año pasado del mundial).

Y si vieron el partido de fútbol (o no) y se perdió la referencia del juego Angry Birds después de que el equipo de EE.UU. anotó su segundo gol, aquí (encima) está una foto.  Sigue también una imagen de ESPN de la victoria japonesa.
