Fans take to social media to congratulate U.S. Women’s National Team

The U.S. women's national soccer team won its fourth World Cup on Sunday. The U.S. defeated the Netherlands 2-0. The women's team also won in 1991, 1999 and 2015. U.S. co-captain Megan Rapinoe scored the first goal of the game with a penalty kick. The win comes after a season that was marked by increasing visibility of LGBTQ athletes and calls for equal pay.
