COOPER&BURNETT Posted July 6, 2015 Report Share Posted July 6, 2015 The victory was handily led by midfielder Carli Lloyd who came up with three early goals to take a commanding lead within the first 20 minutes, ultimately leading to a third 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. The United States went 540 minutes without conceding a goal, the longest streak in the World Cup since Germany went 679 scoreless minutes from 2003-11. Considering the U.S. has been waaaaaay behind the rest of the World in Soccer , it's fun to see a World Cup Championship, and in such a lopsided way! Perhaps the men won't be too, too far behind. Congrats to the U.S. womens team! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
