U.S. Women’s Soccer Team Wins 2019 World Cup and Social Media Explodes With National Victory Dance
On Sunday the U.S. women’s national soccer team once again claimed an exceptional victory, winning the 2019 World Cup in a 2-0 match against the Netherlands. Not only did they win a second consecutive trophy, this is the team’s fourth World Cup championship overall. More than any other country.
Twitter exploded at the match’s end, in a huge show of support and fandom for the dominant team and its star players. Tweets came in from all quarters, from politicians to fellow athletes to everyday folks. Even the dictionary got in on it.
In the interest of the bipartisan American celebration of sport, these tweets are in no particular order nor divided by any party or point of view. They are but a sample of what is a HUGE reaction across the country.
So grateful for #USWNT. Strong, proud, indomitable, take no crap Sisters who are showing the world how powerful women are. Congrats. Go USA!! ??????

Unfortunately, the togetherness wasn’t something everyone was feeling. Some did have to make it about Trump.
Fun Fact: the U.S. Women's National Team has four more World Cups than @realdonaldtrump has Emmys and one less than his total draft deferments.
