Shortly after the final whistle blew and the U.S. women’s national team clinched its fourth World Cup title with a 2-0 win over the Netherlands on Sunday, social media erupted with congratulations from politicians, celebrities and athletes who were following the Americans’ pursuit of history.
“Congratulations to 2019 Women’s World Cup Champions,” tweeted first lady Melania Trump, whose husband has criticized American star Megan Rapinoe for not singing the national anthem before matches, but said in June that he would invite the U.S. team to the White House regardless of whether it returned from France with a trophy.
