With the swagger of pop stars and the inevitability of a freight train, the American women completed the sporting part of their journey on Sunday, clinching their second consecutive World Cup trophy by dispatching the Netherlands, 2-0, in the tournament's final match.
The United States women's national team won the 2019 World Cup by knocking out the Netherlands on Sunday in Lyon, France. Megan Rapinoe and Rose Lavelle both scored for the U.S. in the title game and the team pulled away in the second half after a scoreless first 45 minutes.
With four World Cup wins—in 1991, 1999, 2015 and 2019—the U.S. is the only team to have won more than two titles (no country other than Germany has won more than one title).

It's official - Geoff Hurst's crucial second goal for England against West Germany in the 1966 World Cup final was correctly awarded. And Carragher used EA Sports technology to show that the whole of the ball had indeed crossed the line at the fateful moment when Hurst put England 3-2 up.
