Fans compare US victory over Japan in World Cup 2015 with Pearl Harbor

A number of fans of the American women's national football team compared their victory over the Japanese team with the attack on Pearl Harbor 7 in December 1941, when Japanese forces neutralized the US Pacific fleet in World War II.

“Hey Japan, this is for Pearl Harbor,” wrote user Cloyd Rivers, who was retweeted 8500 times.

At the same time, the skirmish between sports fans on social networks - mainly on Twitter - attracted the attention of those who found this comparison inappropriate.

In the final match of the FIFA Women's World Cup in Canadian Vancouver, the Americans beat the Japanese team with an 5: 2 score.

This is the third victory of the US women's team in the history of the world championship and the first since 1999.

The previous world title was in the hands of the Japanese team.

FIFA management representatives, caught in a series of scandals, on the field booed.
