The U.S. has reclaimed the Women's World Cup after smashing Japan 5-2 in the final.
It comes four years after their crushing defeat in July 2011, when Japan clinched the title in a penalty shoot-out.
Tonight the U.S. squad came back with a vengeance to become the first team to win the title three times.
Hope Solo was awarded the Golden Glove as top goalkeeper and captain Carli Lloyd, who scored an astonishing 50-yard goal, takes home the Golden Ball.
