4 – 1 is a pretty crushing margin to win a game by after starting off by being a goal down.Formiga, Marta and two goals by Cristiane cancelled out the goal by Birgit Prinz for the German women’s team.

In a kind of mirror image game the USA women’s team also scored 4 goals (over Japan) to reach the finals.The video of that games has not hit the stands yet.
USA also came from a goal down to win with a double from Angela Hucles, and goals from Lori Chalupny and Heather O’Reilly after Shinobu Ohno had put Japan ahead in the 16th minute.The mirror image thing was spoilt a bit by the fact that the japanese team scored another goal.
