Yay, Women!
Via Daily Mail:
America has reclaimed the Women’s World Cup after smashing Japan 5-2 in the final – with four goals in the first 16 minutes.
It comes four years after their crushing defeat in July 2011 when Japan clinched the title in a penalty shoot-out.
But on Sunday night, the US squad came back with a vengeance to become the first team to win the title three times.
Testament to their performance, Hope Solo was awarded the Golden Glove as top goalkeeper. Captain Carli Lloyd, who scored an astonishing 50-yard goal and a hat trick in the first half, takes home the Golden Ball for most outstanding performance by a player in the tournament.
