US women's soccer team wins second straight World Cup title, fourth overall

The U.S. defeated the Netherlands on Sunday to win its second consecutive Women's World Cup title. It’s their fourth overall.

The Americans defeated the Dutch, 2-0, behind goals from Megan Rapinoe and Rose Lavelle. Rapinoe scored on a penalty kick in the 61st minute and Lavelle scored in the 69th minute.

It was a hard-fought battle between the U.S. and the Netherlands. The two squads were tied in the second half as it looked like the Dutch defense had the Americans’ number despite the heavy attack.

A foul was committed on Alex Morgan in the box and after a VAR review and an official review, the U.S. was awarded a penalty kick.

Rapinoe took the kick and finally scored on the Netherlands goalkeeper Sari van Veenendaal.

Minutes later, Lavelle turned up the pressure on the Dutch with some nifty footwork and a big boot to score the Americans’ second goal of the match.

If the invite is still on, those who want to go should go and have a good time.

Agreed. Extend the invitations. It’ll nag anyone who doesn’t go for the rest of their days.

I looked in on the score one time and thought I watching men’s soccer until I heard one of the announcers mention women.

Too many put their limp brainwashed selves before the nation they represent.
Total jagoffs but let’s see how many follow the Butch the Kneeler.

First time in my life I wanted a US team to lose. They’re an absolute disgrace to this country and no doubt the left will prop up these sanctimonious obnoxious dykes as heroes of all humanity for the next year.

One refreshing thing I will say is that it’s nice to watch a female sport where the athletes are older than their teens/early 20s. Some of these soccer players are in their thirties.

Same here. Have never rooted against an American team until this world cup.

You know, I totally forgot they were playing today.

Congratulations to those on the team that love and honor their country. I don’t know how many players qualify for that.

Trump is nuts if he invites them. They are an insult to the country, they don’t represent the USA. They represent obnoxious sanctimonious self absorbed assholes.
