The United States’ women’s national soccer team are World Cup Champions once again. Β The Americans won their third World Cup Sunday, downing Japan 5-2 in a high-scoring final.
Β 
Carli Lloyd led Team USA with three goals, all scored in the first 16 minutes of play. Β She says her teammates knew they were destined to do well:
Β 
“You know, we all stayed true to what we believed in this World Cup.Β Yes, our defense was solid from start to finish. Β Yes, our attack took a little bit to get going. Β But we all had faith. Β We all knew that our best was yet to come. Β We kept saying it. Β We kept believing it. Β The coaching staff kept believing it. Β And sure enough, we just performed one of the most epic games in the history of soccer.”
Β 
And that brings us to our Question of the Night: Is women’s World Cup soccer paving the way for other female sports?
