The USWNT Had To Fight For Its Right To Party, But That Party Is Now Raging

The USWNT clinched its fourth World Cup crown — and successfully defended its 2015 title — by defeating the Netherlands 2-0 on Sunday thanks to goals from Megan Rapinoe and Rose Lavelle. The U.S.

From Weak Link To Best Ever: The USWNT’s Defense Was The Surprise Package Of The Tournament

Heading into the 2019 Women’s World Cup, the consensus was that the USWNT would ship its fair share of goals but overcome that deficiency by winning matches in barnstorming fashion — maybe a 4-2 here, a 5-3 there.

Megan Rapinoe Wins Everything The World Cup Has To Offer

In a month that’s seen the national discourse largely dictated by USWNT attacker Megan Rapinoe, it’s only fitting that the 34-year-old has finished her 2019 Women’s World Cup odyssey with the final’s game-winning goal, as well as the tournament’s two most prestigious individual awards: The Golden Boot (given to the leading scorer) and Golden Ball (given to the best player).

Ellen White Probably Wants To Murder The VAR And We Don’t Blame Her

England does not like the VAR. The English FA, apparently full of Luddites, has been one of the last countries to begin to implement video replay, slow to accept that getting calls right is more important than anything else. 

Ellen White, England to her core, does not like the VAR either. She’d probably have the Golden Boot wrapped up by now were it not for video replay.

Alex Morgan Says If Men Can Grab Their Sacks, She Can Sip Tea

It was, with all due respect to Alyssa Naeher, the most iconic moment of the USWNT’s 2-1 victory over England in the Women’s World Cup semifinals. Alex Morgan scored what proved to be the match winner, ran toward the sideline and pantomimed drinking a cup of tea.
