For the primary time since 1999, the FIFA Women's tourney is back within the hands of the U.S. Women's National Team, WHO defeated Japan 5-2 on Sunday before associate calculable crowd of fifty three,341 in Vancouver, Canada. It is the USWNT's third World Cup title.
The U.S. squad set the pace early and continued to dominate throughout what would become the highest scoring final in Women's World Cup history. The match was hardly a repeat of the 2011 World Cup final, when the U.S. lost to Japan in a penalty shootout, as the U.S. shot out of the gate on Sunday, scoring four goals in the first 16 minutes of play.
"Pure elation. I'm just so, so proud of this team," head coach Jill Ellis said after the match. "I'm so happy for them, so happy for every little girl who dreams about this," she added.
