The U.S. Women's National Team mauled Japan 5-2 to win the 2015 Women's World Cup, thus making themselves (and by proxy all of the U.S., of course) world champions. I watched most of the U.S. games in this tournament, but I confess I don't follow them on a constant basis. I do enjoy soccer more than I have, and I really enjoyed watching this tournament, in fact, I enjoy women's soccer more than the men.
The obvious reason why is because WORLD CHAMPS, but there's another reason and the simplest explanation I have for that is right here
Still the best explanation of women's vs men's sport I've ever seen: pic.
