In one of the most dominant displays that we’ve seen in a cup final, men or women, there are plenty of players that could have been named the Player of the Match. But after breaking history in an already historic match, Carli Lloyd took this game by the scruff of the neck. Her early hat […]

After a quick 4-0 lead the United States Women’s national team appeared to take the foot off the gas a bit. Japan took advantage once in the first half, and then forced defender Julie Johnston in to a no-win situation early in the 2nd half. With Japan taking a long free kick, Johnston was forced […]

Take a bow Carli Lloyd. The USWNT midfielder has scored a hattrick in 16 minutes and the final part of it was a beauty, a goalazo for the ages. Lloyd took one look at a Japanese goalkeeper out near the top of her box and decided this was a good idea: https://vine.co/v/en7BvYqAtA2 Yes, that scoreline […]

So much for pressure, so much for playing a game based on keeping the ball away from the Japanese midfield. All of that was thrown out the window as Carli Lloyd slammed home a pair of goals in the first five minutes of the match. Up first was a beauty of a corner kick and […]
