The USA women’s soccer team had much to celebrate last night at Wembley Stadium. The USA squad defeated Japan last night in a thrilling 2-1 victory! USA’s Carli Lloyd lead the team to gold by scoring not one, but BOTH of the two goals for the Americans!

USA took an early 2-0 lead over Japan. Lloyd’s first goal was set up by Alex Morgan, another key player on the squad. Her second goal was achieved by dribbling quickly down the field and firing the ball 20 yards out from the goal and past Japan’s goalkeeper Fukumoto. Lloyd commented on her second goal stating that dribbling down the field and firing from far out is what she does best.

Over 80,000 people flooded Wembley Stadium to catch the action between Japan and the United States. This was the largest crowd to ever attend a women’s game outside of North America!

Congratulations to all of the USA athletes! Did you happen to see the game? Let us know what you thought on our Facebook page, linked HERE
