Playing in a big game, United States women's national team star Carli Lloyd was ready for the spotlight yet again.
Lloyd got the United States off to a fast start in the Women's World Cup final against Japan, scoring two goals in the first five minutes.
...
Lauren Holiday joined the fun with a goal in the 14th minute, but moments later, Lloyd struck again. This time, it was on an unbelievable shot from near midfield.
...
With her third goal of the match, Lloyd became the first American to record a hat trick in the Women's World Cup final

Uh, it’s soccer...there is something distinctly un-American about a game that routinly ends in a tie. I guess with our rapid decline from a world leader to a soon to be 2nd world state, it is appropro that soccer is gaining more and more popularity...I miss America.
I don’t care for soccer, but this game was fun.
Also did anyone else feel that undercurrent of American pride today.
Think back for a second to 1980 and a young US hockey team. It was just the pride we needed to elect the greatest leader in my lifetime.
Maybe I’m being an optimist, but perhaps the stars are lining up for another 8 years of exceptional leadership, and 30 years of prosperity.
Can’t wait to hear Cruz’s “Morning in America, or Shining City on a Hill” speech.
"...there is something distinctly un-American about a game that routinly ends in a tie..."
Pay attention here...I was talking about soccer in general, not just the World Cup, DA. Rabid soccer fans give NASCAR and Dallas Cowboy fans a run for their money when it comes to being offended.
