Even when the US received a fortunate call or two, you can't say anything since they were almost always the better team in the game.
Very solid and complete performance.
Hopefully this will do more than just create a cash grab victory tour to help the women's side of the game grow.

@ChrisVannini: The #USWNT never trailed. They broke the record for goals. They beat the second-, third- and fourth-place teams, along with the host/favorite. Legendary run.
Yep. The Women's game is as good as it has ever been too. Going to be interesting to see how much it grows the next 4 years.

They may be forced to strike. They just signed the CBA two years ago and it runs for another 3 years. Hopefully something can be mediated that is fair. They need to have it happen in the next 4-6 weeks before people move on to something new once the news cycle changes.

THAT SECOND GOAL CLINCHED ME $1,076 IN WINNINGS FOR TODAY!!!

waited about 5 minutes after the match started to plunk, was hoping to grab USWNT below -200 ... soon as it hit -190 i slammed it.
then jumped on the over 1.5 at -115
then 37 minutes in i dropped another $150 on USWNT at -140 ... then used my last $50 to drop $25 apiece on Draw at +235 and the Dutch at +600 - had to hedge - #### it.
anyways ... i am now full on hooked on footy wagering - this is a hell of a gig to play with, and it all started with this WWC - glad i jumped in here, this was a ####### BLAST, soup to nuts!
once again - THANK YOU, LADIES!
and thanks to you lot for all the goodness up in this mutha - yer all aces in my book

Most fun I've had rooting for a sports team in my life. Watched every second of every game the USA played. I can now wash the USA I Play Like A Girl t-shirt. Got a little funky but it was good luck.

Martens is like their Morgan. So hawt. Too bad she was injured and we couldn’t see her best stuff.

She looked like Morgan wanted the golden boot at the end there...

LOL, but I do believe you're serious. Maybe you can get a Sue Bird jersey (full disclosure: I'm a CT native through and through who watched the UCONN 2004 WCBB team and thought that was pretty much the height of women's sports up until then.)Very sharp. I’m getting a #15 jersey with the 4th star.
I'd probably get USA's #13 if indeed I was impelled or compelled to wear a shirt. Good day for women's soccer in the USA, really.

NWSL needs to strike while the iron is hot. This is a good start:
Two days ago, they announced a deal with ESPN to get some games televised in the second half of the season. This was critical since Lifetime dropped the league this year and they had no national coverage.
Yesterday Budweiser stepped up to become a sponsor of the league as the first beer sponsor in the leagues short history.

Here are some of the details.
No money amounts were mentioned but Bud has always been good to soccer, going all the way back to even when no one cared about soccer in the US in the 80's.

some do as a second job. The money is not good any where. NWSL* pays as much or more than Europe so the best players mostly come here to play.
This may change in the coming decade as some of the European men's team are starting to fund the women's game (picture something like the WNBA in its early days where the NBA teams funded the whole league. This has changed over the years though).
*For the USWNT players, their NWSL salaries are covered by US Soccer which gives them some impetus to stay as well.

I am wondering he means who from the US government represented them in the stands...? I saw the name of who it was but being apolitical and having zero knowledge, it meant nothing to me.

My favorite / best players of the tournament:
Lavelle, Bronze, Henry, Christiane, Ertz, Spitse, Hermoso
I'm sure I'm missing some. Didn't watch enough of Sweden to get a feel for that team.

While this tournament showed the rise of the European teams and how far they've come in a decade, it was obvious from the start that no country could match the depth of talent of the US. Even when bringing on subs, theist subs were better than the starters for the other countries. It's probable that the US had the first and second best squads in the tournament.

I had to watch the Thorns game Friday on Yahoo Sports App via Roku. It was less than ideal. Glad things look to be improving.
