Victory of grace and elegance

Up at 5. Cloudy. How long haven't we had such a morning without sunshine?

Congratulations! The Japanese women's national football team, Alpine Pink (synonymous of a Japanese woman with grace and elegance), beat the US to win the world cup. My favorite, Homare Sawa, was naturally awarded MVP( + the most-goals award). In this come-from-behind game, she timed nicely with an incoming corner kick ball and blasted a backward shot into the goal tying the score at 2-2, leading them to the fate-determining penalty shootout! Already tired US players missed three kicks while Nadeshikos scored three goals. The US team was really tough and strong but the little flowers won the match at last.
This was their 24th match against US team and the first win. They achieved it at the stage of the World cup. If it's not a miracle, what is?
The victory is sure to brighten up all the despondent Japanese people. Also it made my sleep-sacrificing-early-rising worthwhile.
