Rose Lavelle Dribbled Her Way Into World Cup Immortality
One name stood out for its relative obscurity on the projected starting lineup for the USWNT before the Women’s World Cup began.

USWNT Turned The Netherlands Into Freshly Squeezed Orange Juice And Won The Women's World Cup

The Netherlands haven’t exactly been the free-flowing, highlight-making, net-assaulting bunch at this World Cup that their talent and our expectations would’ve predicted, though I’m sure the Dutch and their endearingly rabid fans aren’t too bothered by that.
