#OMG — WWC 2011 Twitter Photo Tribute
She Kicks, issue SK05, November 2011 p.22
A two-page photographic tribute to the 2011 FIFA Women’s World Cup, laid out as a run of nine numbered #OMG moments under the hashtags #WWC2011 and #OMG, each carrying a short caption in the voice of the She Kicks editor. The sequence opens with 73,680 fans packing Berlin’s Olympiastadion for Germany’s 2-1 win over Canada, then runs through England’s group campaign with Jess Clarke’s winner against New Zealand and Rachel Yankey’s goal against Japan. It captures the agony of the quarter-final against France, with Jill Scott’s goal and captain Faye White’s penalty striking the bar, then Karina Maruyama’s 108th-minute strike that eliminated Germany, Abby Wambach’s late far-post header against Brazil, and Homare Sawa’s flicked corner that dragged ten-player Japan level in the final before their victory.
