It happened again.
Just as they did four years ago in Canada, the United States Women’s National Soccer Team have won the World Cup. That’s half of the eight WWC tournaments that have been held to date, more than any other nation, and also the second to win back-to-back titles (Germany was the first with titles in 2003 & 2007). They’ve also won the third place match three times, and only finished second once when they lost to Japan in the 2011 final in Germany.
It’s an insane run of success in any sport, but it feels especially important as an achievement for a women’s team in the world’s most popular sport.
