FoxNews - Carli Lloyd came up big again. Three times.And with it came the Americans’ elusive third Women’s World Cup title. Lloyd scored a hat trick as the U.S. burst to a four-goal lead in the first 16 minutes, and the Americans overwhelmed defending champion Japan 5-2 Sunday for their record third championship and first since 1999. A sellout crowd that included U.S. Vice President Joe Biden roared in approval for Lloyd’s hat trick, the first ever in a Women’s World Cup final.
“We just made history,” Lloyd said. “I was on a mission.”
That was as impressive of a Championship performance that I have ever seen. The Women came out for blood from the word go and it were as dialed in a team could possible have been to play in a championship game.
I truly hope the Mens National team took notes and DVR'd the shit out of that game. The Mens team desperately needs a mentality and identity adjustment. The play the majority of their games on their heals and afraid ( I don't care that their usually out skilled in big games). I am a Dempsey fan from a confidence standpoint but the dude is so fake tough that it makes me puke. (Much Needed Mens Team Rant is wayyyy overdue)
The Women's team deserves all the attention and publicity that they will undoubtedly get over the next few weeks. That team had a bunch of killers on it and it was special to watch. The Women's sport in general is getting so much better and I am legit excited to see how far the game develops over the next 4 years.
Also - Nike hit a Grand Slam with the Commercial following the game...
P.S. I am terrified of what Hope Solo did to celebrate last night.
P.P.S. Hitting the Over total line 6 seconds into the game was the pinnacle of my gambling career. No chance that ever happens again.
P.P.P.S. What is up with the Giant backup goalie for Japan. She is at least 8 feet tall. Need to know her whole story ASAP.
