BREAKING: The U.S. Women’s National Team defends their World Cup title, topping the Netherlands 2-0 in full-time.
The United States won the 2019 Women's World Cup in a 2-0 finish over the Netherlands, thanks to a penalty kick in the 61st minute, scored by captain Megan Rapinoe, and a breakaway goal minutes later by Rose Lavelle.
The Netherlands secured their spot in the final in a Wednesday match against Sweden. That match went on into extra time, with the first -- and only -- goal not scored until the 99th minute, by midfielder Jackie Groenen. Morgan and Rapinoe have likely had a lot to bond over lately, on top of the general World Cup experience. Both faced criticism for the amusing poses they struck after scoring in the last two games.The criticism over their poses goes to a theme of this World Cup for the Americans. Since their first game, when they beat Thailand 13-0, they have been called everything from"boastful" to"distasteful" for celebrating and being confident.
