The U.S. capped off an amazing World Cup run with a tremendous performance in the final against Japan, winning 5-2. The game was never in doubt after Carli Lloyd’s shot from midfield found the back of the net for a 4-0 lead in the game’s 16th minute.
Naturally, the Internet had some fun reacting to the dominating performance.
