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. defense stifled a heralded Dutch front three by allowing only one shot on target, and every U.S. player leaves France with their reputation greatly enhanced.
As soon as the final whistle blew in Lyon, the team began blowing off the steam of a difficult gauntlet that included previous knockout round victories over Spain, France and England. There was a lot of pressure, a lot of expectation and a lot of noise surrounding the squad, but they accomplished what they set out to do in style.
Now they get to enjoy that achievement.
