US Women's Soccer Team Wins World Cup: Serena Williams, Ellen DeGeneres and More Stars Celebrate
The United States women's soccer team wins again!
The team became Women's World Cup champions for the fourth time after beating the Netherlands 2-0 in Sunday's final in Lyon, France. It's the team's second consecutive win.
The women's team had a lead going into halftime of every match they had played throughout this year's World Cup, except for Sunday's game. The team didn't score until an hour into the game, with Megan Rapinoe and Rose Lavelle both scoring in the second half, bringing the team to victory. Jill Ellis remains undefeated at World Cups and became the first manager to win the tournament twice.
Rapinoe celebrated the victory on Instagram by paying tribute to Nipsey Hussle, who was fatally shot in March.
"Ain't really trip on the credit, I just paid all of my dues," she posted, quoting the late rapper's song "Hussle & Motivate." "I just respected the game, now my name all in the news. Trippin' on all of my moves, quote me on this, got a lot more to prove- @nipseyhussle #tmc🏁 #cheesin"
