There’s perhaps no greater testament to the strength, drive, togetherness and badassery of the USWNT than the whirlwind tour they’ve been on since Sunday night.
Mere mortals like you and I would probably like nothing more than to curl up under a blanket and nurse a week-long hangover while regaining some sort of feeling in our legs after a month of heinous physical exertion, but the USWNT knows no chill.
They’ve been partying and screaming and singing for 48 hours now — around Lyon, across the Atlantic and throughout New York City.
GOOD MORNING AMERICA THE JET LAG IS REAL BUT THAT WORLD CUP CHAMPION FEELING IS THE REALEST LFG

Here’s the team disembarking from the transatlantic crossing, looking very much like the wall has been reached but subsequently crushed and overcome.

I would be feeling anxiety and motion sickness by now, but this group? It’s an eternal party bus with one song on Megan Rapinoe’s iPod.

What’s next?
Beginning at 9:30 a.m. ET on Wednesday morning, the USWNT will enjoy a ticker-tape parade through downtown Manhattan. You can follow the action on EarthCam, which will provide a live webcam overlooking the Canyon of Heroes parade route.
After enjoying themselves there, the players will jet off to Los Angeles for the 2019 ESPY Awards, which begin at 8:00 p.m. ET on ABC.
