US women's soccer team wins second straight World Cup title, fourth overall

By Ryan Gaydos | Fox News

The U.S. defeated the Netherlands on Sunday to win its second consecutive Women's World Cup title. It’s the team's fourth overall.

The Americans defeated the Dutch, 2-0, behind goals from Megan Rapinoe and Rose Lavelle. Rapinoe scored on a penalty kick in the 61st minute and Lavelle scored in the 69th minute.


It was a hard-fought battle between the U.S. and the Netherlands. The two squads were tied in the second half as it looked like the Dutch defense had the Americans’ number despite the heavy attack.

A foul was committed on Alex Morgan in the box and after a VAR review and an official review, the U.S. was awarded a penalty kick.

Rapinoe took the kick and finally scored on the Netherlands goalkeeper Sari van Veenendaal.

It could have been 5-0, except for some nice saves by the Netherlands keeper.
I disagree.  Circle gets the square.

I may be alone here, but I am PROUD of these women and their victory for the United States of America!

Well done, ladies! Thanks for giving your country this championship!!

Two thoughts on how they did it:
1. Unlike men's soccer, which is somewhere around fourth in the sport totem pole, women's soccer has the benefit of getting America's best female athletes—at least the ones under six feet tall; the taller ones usually play basketball.
2. Foreign countries have no equivalent to Title IX.

But there's definitely a smug arrogance to this team that I, for one, find incredibly off-putting. These women have not represented this country well.

    Most all Lesbians I met were afflicted with that attitude.  Always pizzed me off that they could smell my envy.

What country was that.  They sure as heck didn't play for my Country.  I think they played for the Isle of Lesbo's.

Their idea of sportsmanship is everything I taught my athletic son to avoid who btw was a soccer player.

If my son would have pulled any these shenanigans on the soccer field that would have been the end of his playing.....I was appalled to see a US player pretending to drink tea with her pinky in the air after she scored a goal.....what a great role model....NOT

The good thing is no one really gives a rats ass about the National Lesbian Soccer League.   In a week or two their taint will be washed away and some other disrespectful US hating miscreant with rise up like a week old turd in a cesspool to hit the news cycle and become the media's darling.

   That was very Presidential of Trump, especially since how he's been treated by this organization, hopefully they'll all shut up and this too shall pass. 
   I'm not optimistic.

I'm guessing the "smug arrogance" of male teams who win championships doesn't bother you quite as much as this one does.....

I think what bugged me, perhaps even more than the team's arrogance and rude behavior, is the constant liberal media propaganda as if these women were on a par with real heroes such as our military and first responders.  Now these chippies are demanding equal pay or something.  They are the darlings of the party of victimhood -- the Democrats -- and everything they say or do will be covered ad nauseum by the fawning liberal media. 

The H with them and their political BS.  I really don't care.

Hi @musiclady.  In the words of Ayn Rand, your post has made me check my assumptions.  I have had zero enthusiasm for this team because of my interpretation of their character based largely on the noise coming from a couple players.  I will always disdain and reject those who disrespect the anthem or country that has afforded them opportunity, fame and fortune.  Truth is, I know virtually nothing of the whole.  Thanks for the check. 

Hope you are well.

The utter hypocrisy on this site is hilarious.   Clearly okay for the president to deride, demean, slam, slur everyone with whom he disagrees.   A bunch of talented women soccer players dish it right back at him and ………….the folks  here are ready for the fainting couch.

Nonsense. I have just as much contempt for kneeling during the anthem when Colin Kaepernick did it as when Megan Rapinoe did it.

I have just as much contempt for using tacky hair dye, the classic Generation X cry for attention, when Dennis Rodman did it as I did when Rapinoe did it.

I have just as much contempt for cheap potshots during scoring celebrations when Terrell Owens did it as I did when Alex Morgan did it.

I have just as much contempt for gratuitously flaunting their continuous domination of one team over the rest of their competition when Tom Brady does it as I do with the USWNT.

The one difference is that Kaepernick, Rodman, Brady and Owens never represented the United States on the world stage. Morgan, Rapinoe and the perpetually aggrieved Hope Solo do.

First off, Donald Trump has nothing to do with this. Second, you are blatantly lying about my positions... and you deserve a humiliating tongue lashing far worse than I think the moderators would allow me to post on this forum. So can the sexist drivel and take it elsewhere. Thanks.
