The U.S. Women's Soccer team is still the world's best after dominating the Netherlands in the Women's World Cup final and winning 2-0. Throughout the tournament, the U.S. brushed aside criticism, complaints of arrogance and calls for the team to tone down their goal celebrations. All the team did was win. All seven World Cup games, in fact.
In the first half, the U.S. created more chances than the Netherlands. The Americans attacked and attacked but the Dutch defense and, particularly, the goalkeeping of Sari van Veenendaal who blocked four shots, kept the U.S. from scoring for the first time in an opening half this tournament.
It was the fifth time the United States Women's National Team played a World Cup final (there have only been eight tournaments). The U.S. is the first team to reach three consecutive finals and joins Germany as a repeat champion (2003 and 2007). With the win, the U.S. has a record four Women's World Cup trophies.

"U.S. soccer star Alex Morgan has said the team will likely decide together whether to accept President TrumpDonald invitation to the White House but added that the discussion would not happen until after the World Cup final Sunday against the Netherlands.
“I think we will make that decision after we finish Sunday’s game,” Morgan said according to Reuters, before seeming to insinuate the team would not visit the White House.
“I think there has been a lot of talk, prematurely, about the White House and about Trump but first we have to do business and then I think you guys know the answer to the question anyways,” she added."
Isn't NPR supposed to be the 'intelligent media outlet??
