Shooting your mouth out is never warranted.

62% reflects Japan's technical ability with the ball. I'd call it even in the first half and a definite advantage to England in the second half. No Japanese attack really looked threatening until the one Bassett put in her own net, while England hit multiple posts and Japan's possession was often in their own half.
Both coaches were guilty of talking trash. You presumably did not hear what Japan's coach said before the game, because your comical dislike of England is getting in the way of actual fact. If it's trash talkers you don't like then you shouldn't like Japan either.
Odds:
Japan 1.9:1
USA 0.4:1
