No, this year's WC probably only Finland wants to forget.

Not only did the lopsided quarter-final loss against the Czech Republic, they also managed to lose the match for fifth place against Japan - despite completely dominating the event.

Japan goalkeeper Miyuu Masuhara had the game of her life, saving everything sent her way, totaling 61 shots over the three periods and overtime.

Then she went on to save four out of five Finnish penalties.

- I don't think I've ever felt this bad, but I have to take my hat off to my colleague in Japan's goal, says the Finnish goalkeeper Anni Keisala to Yle.

The loss means that Finland is forced to play in the unseeded group, together with Sweden, among others, in the next World Cup which will be decided in April.

- This is the end of one era and the beginning of the next.

Now we have to stop, analyze and move on, that's the only option, says Juuso Toivola.
