The United States women's soccer team has been riding high since capturing the country's first World Cup title in 16 years on Sunday in a dominant 5-2 win over Japan. Now, it will be able to celebrate with its fans in a well-deserved victory parade.
It wasn't certain that Team USA would get a chance to celebrate with its fellow countrymen and countrywomen. Manhattan Borough President Gale Brewer wrote a letter to New York mayor Bill de Blasio hoping to get a ticker-tape parade, per John Spina and Jennifer Fermino of the New York Daily News.
