The U.S. women’s soccer team’s triumph in Sunday’s finals captured the imagination of millions of Americans just as they hoped or rather imagined it would be including the country’s most powerful man.
President Barack Obama was one of the first to congratulate the team via social media on their record-breaking third World Cup win as they beat defending champion Japan 5-2
He gave a special mention to hat-trick hero and the tournament’s joint top scorer Carli Lloyd who effectively sealed victory with three goals in the opening 16 minutes of the match in Vancouver.
“What a win for Team USA! Great game @CarliLloyd! Your country is so proud of you all. Come visit the White House with the World Cup soon.”
Carli Lloyd led the United States to its first Women’s World Cup title in 16 years, scoring a hat trick in a 5-2 thrashing of Japan.
