Tipster Catherine has alerted us to this video, which is an irritatingly scored ten-minute highlight video from Mexico's upset of the USA in a World Cup qualifier last year. But buried within that video is the highlight we've cut for you above, and we took the electro-crap out of it too....

Soccer Analysts Find Many, Many Ways To Call The Japanese Short
On Sunday, the US Women take on Japan in the Women's World Cup Final. It will be a "tall order" for the Japanese, who have a "height disadvantage." Nay, a "major size disadvantage."

Female Soccer Players Don't Fake It Like The Men, Science Says
Science has provided another reason to give the Women's World Cup a chance as it winds down this week: female soccer players don't flop.
