Thorns in France | Le Journal 7.7.2019 | Four Thorns, world champions

Tobin Heath entered the 2019 World Cup having already won three collegiate titles, two Olympic golds, two NWSL championships as well as, in 2015, a world title. In terms of team honors, she was already one of the most accomplished athletes in U.S. Soccer history, though thanks to today’s results, that claim is significantly stronger. With the United States downing the Netherlands, 2-0, in Lyon this morning, Heath will get an eight-year run as a world champion, at least, with the U.S.’ back-to-back World Cups pushing the program to four world titles.

That's pure happiness right there.
