I'm very happy they scored that second goal. No questions, no debate about calls and VAR. I love watching the women's game. It is much more honest than the men's game. Very, very little diving and gamesmanship, tactically and technically excellent and hard and physical play. Congratulations to the USWNT!!!

I agree with you that the second goal was important. The only thing worse than having the game decided by a penalty within the box would have been deciding a World Championship on penalty kicks after extra time.

The Dutch goaltender came up big throughout the match.

Agree. Bring back golden goal. Let teams add a sub for each extra time. Fitness and mental toughness is just as much a part of winning as skill and tactics.

It's a lot cleaner than the men's game, no rush hour on the subway scrambles in the penalty area, more time for dem shots, I enjoyed it. They sure need a good goalie mind.

Far less historionics when the players come together. Hope they don't go the way of the men on this when they start getting equal pay. It has about ruined men's soccer.

The purple haired manly looking woman who refused to sing the National Anthem or put her hand over her heart when it was sung pissed me off. Anti USA political statements don't belong in International games. That attitude tarnishes the team's victory in my opinion.
