USA touched down at the eighth FIFA Women’s World Cup™ with it all to do. The pressure of being defending champions, question marks over having the tournament’s oldest squad, and a who’s who of polished powerhouses – including hosts and marginal favourites France, two-time winners Germany, SheBelieves Cup holders England, old foes Japan and European champions the Netherlands – determined to seize their crown.
Jill Ellis and her 23 soldiers returned to the US today having emphatically italicised why they are the finest team on the planet. The USWNT won all seven matches and smashed records aplenty to lift their fourth trophy.
Naturally, American celebrities took to social media to pay tribute to the ‘99ers. FIFA.comspotlights some of the posts.

Rose Lavelle watched 2015 World Cup Final in pizza shop watching with handful of teammates from an amateur Seattle summer league team. She just struck goal that most probably clinched 2019 Trophy. What feelings she must experience. Dizzying rise born of dreams, skill and wonder
