NEW YORK - As the United States women’s national team clinched their fourth World Cup title on Sunday, fans across New York City gathered at local watering holes and match parties, striking an optimistic tone about the future of the women’s game.
Miller said the team’s back-to-back World Cup title wins, completed on Sunday with a 2-0 over the Netherlands, would help propel the popularity of women’s soccer in the United States “right down to the elementary school level”. “Usually when there’s a soccer game on there’s, like, a full bar, not a full restaurant,” said Stephanie Juarez, 21, a hostess at The Distillery NYC, where a standing room-only crowd was glued to the World Cup final on the gastropub’s TVs.An hour before kickoff, dozens of fans lined the block in front of Smithfield Hall, a popular soccer bar in Manhattan, some claiming a spot in the queue while their friends still slept.
