The U.S. defended its Women's World Cup title with a 2-0 victory over the Netherlands.
After four years of toil and hundreds of minutes of soccer at the 2019 Women’s World Cup, it all came down to Megan Rapinoe. To the stoic co-captain. To the transcendent personality, the face of the U.S. women’s national team – and now, after 90 minutes in Lyon, a two-time world champion.
Over the past year, they have all been questioned, criticized, praised but also doubted. On Sunday, they emphatically capped another generation of dominance with the program’s fourth World Cup title. By Sunday, among fans, the outcome seemed all but a foregone conclusion. Such is the sustained brilliance of this USWNT and those that came before it.
A tight first halfThe U.S. had scored in the opening 12 minutes in each of its first six games at the 2019 World Cup. The seventh, however, was a different story. A very different story.
