The US Women's soccer team may have lost to Japan in Sunday's Women's World Cup Championship match up but, after being upset, they were a part of a record for the number of tweets sent after the game. The story-book ending for Japan was tweeted about more than any other event in history.
The wild finish to Japan's penalty kick victory over the Americans in the championship game help set the record of a staggering 7,196 TPS-- that's tweets per second-- according to Twitter.
To put it into perspective, Osama Bin Laden's death topped out at 5,100 TPS.
The previous record of 6,939 TPS was set just after midnight on New Year's Day 2011 in Japan. Coincidentally, after the March 11, 2011 earthquake and tsunami in Japan, Twitter reported 5,530 twitters per second. Japan used the disaster as inspiration during their unbelievable title run.
For all the geeks keeping score, here's how the Women's World Cup TPS record stacks up against the men's. Last year's men's World Cup opener between host country South Africa and Japan -- I'm seeing a trend-- boasted only 3,282 TPS at it's peak.
Other notable big-tweet days include the Green Bay Packers victory over the Pittsburgh Steelers in Super Bowl XLV which hit the 4,096 TPS mark and the Royal Wedding with William and Kate which scored a commoner-like 3,966 tweets per second.
The US/Japan record was almost topped on the same day after the Copa America quarterfinal match up between Paraguay and Brazil came in at 7,166 TPS.
Before the Women's World Cup Final, even President Obama tweeted the US squad to wish them well: "I'm thinking: Score a goal, be a leader, let's get this done."
The President may the only person in the world who still uses proper English in his tweets.
According to Twitter, it handles over 200 million tweets a day and has over 200 million registered accounts. Some claim that total is more like 300 million.
One trend I'm noticing about tweeters is they tend to be Japanese and are partial to soccer.
No matter how annoying tweeters pecking away are, they still aren't as bad as vuvuzelas.

Cutler Blasted Via Twitter
Jay Cutler hasn't won anyone over in the court of public opinion. While his teammates said all the right things about Cutler's toughness after the NFC Championship game, there were others that questioned him. Cutler left the game with a knee injury and it was debateable whether he was actually hurt or milking it.
Here's all the tweets from others who have played the game or are still playing.
RT @markschlereth: As a guy how had 20 knee surgeries you'd have to drag me out on a stretcher to Leave a championship game! #justsaying
RT @RealSkipBayless: I can't wait to talk about Jay Cutler tomorrow at 10 a.m. Eastern, ESPN2. Clay Matthews just said they made him quit.
RT @ddockett: If I'm on chicago team jay cutler has to wait till me and the team shower get dressed and leave
Knee-gate in Chicago

I'm no fan of twitter, so I think they could've went public with this. I don't think the Cutler bashing is over by any means.
