For the first time since 1999 the Americans won their first World Cup title , beating Japan, 5-2.
USA came out to one of the most incredible starts I’ve ever witnessed in any sporting event, and it won them the game.
It was a pretty even game - and the second-half in particular was a more balanced affair. But then USA didn’t need to be particularly good in the second period - because they had Lloyd.
President Obama twitted, "What a win for Team USA! Great game @CarliLloyd! Your country is so proud of all of you. Come visit the White House with the World Cup soon."
