U.S. Women’s World Cup Win: Stars React On Twitter
The United States Women’s soccer team nabbed World Cup glory on Sunday night, defeating Japan 5-2 for the championship.
While the U.S. team scored an impressive four goals in the game’s first 16 minutes, essentially putting the match out of reach, the victory still provided plenty excitement – and the stars weren’t immune to catching World Cup fever.
