Throwback Thursday: Carli Lloyd scores 3, USMNT win 3rd Women’s World Cup title

It was July 5, 2015, and Canada was about to undertake an American invasion. Tens of thousands of fans of the red, white, and blue descended upon BC Place in Vancouver for the Women’s World Cup final, between the United States Women’s National Team and Japan. It was a rematch of the 2011 final, when Japan ousted the USWNT in penalties to win their first title. The USWNT were looking to exact some revenge and get the 3rd title they coveted. There was one player especially who was looking to be the boss of the match.
