Wembley Stadium has set a record for attendance at a women's Olympic soccer game. The crowd for Japan-United States game on Thursday night was announced at 80,203, besting the 76,481 who watched the gold medal game in Atlanta in 1996.

The record crowd saw a whale of a game, with the Americans beating Japan 2-1 for the gold.
