The United States Women's Soccer National Team beat England on July 2, 2019, in a nail-biting match moving them to the finals of the FIFA Women's World Cup. Then on Sunday, July 7, the USWNT did it again and took home the World Cup trophy after defeated the Netherlands 2-0. The USWNT is a force to be reckoned with and has proved that over and over again. While awaiting the final match, let's review what makes this team so badass (besides their unbelievable skills on the field).
They are the most successful Women's Soccer Team and ranked No. 1 IN. THE. WORLD.
GiphyNo. 1 in the world, No. 1 in our hearts.
They were the most watched soccer match EVER.
It was 2015, a short four years ago. Every bar, restaurant, and household had the television turned to the Women's World Cup. It was the United States v. Japan, and boy we're glad we tuned in! It hit charts at 26.7 MILLION viewers, earning it the most watched soccer match in American history. In that year, that match had more views than the NBA finals and the Stanley Cup!
Lucky number 13
GiphyThe U.S. Women's Soccer Team beat Thailand 13-0 in June 2019. That is the TOP scoring number in the entire history of the world cup. Business Insider also added that "it's also more goals than the US Men's team has scored in every world cup since 2006. Combined."
Although the controversy surrounding this game and how the U.S. team should have stopped scoring, this was still a record-breaking game. Also, the women should be allowed to score. This is what they worked for and dreamed about. So, you go girls!
They are an inspiration to all young girls
These women WORKED for their spot on the team. Their stories are fulled with passion and familiarity for many American girls.
They are joined in the fight for equal pay
As we all know, women (still) do not have equal pay compared to their male counterparts. These women are one of the headers of this fight for equality. If you are not familiar, FIFA is the head of the national teams. For the Women's World Cup, they will award $30 million. Sounds like a lot, right? I hope you're sitting down because the prize money for the Men's World Cup is $400 million.
They all support and inspire each other.
GiphyIf you watch these women, you can feel the passion they have for the game and how much they support each other on and off the field. Watching them play is almost satisfying as all their moves seem so effortless and smooth. In interviews, they talk about how they inspire each other to be better and work harder. They are such a badass team and deserve every ranking, every celebration, and every right to where they are now.
THEY FREAKING WON THE WORLD CUP...FOR THE 4TH TIME!
Not once, not twice, not even three times. The fourth time is the USWNT are World Cup champs.
THIS team is what makes America great. Congratulations to the USWNT!
