The U.S. women's national soccer team went undefeated in the 2019 FIFA Women's World Cup, capping off back-to-back World Cup titles with a 2-0 win against the Netherlands, but the team's dominance was at times overshadowed by criticism and controversy, most notably involving stars Alex Morgan and Megan Rapinoe and head coach Jill Ellis.
Morgan's tea-sipping celebration after scoring against England, Rapinoe saying the team would not accept an invitation to visit President Trump at the White House and the team's historic 13-0 victory against Thailand all drew attention.
The end result of everything the team went through was a championship. Former national team member and Silver Spring, Md., native Joanna Lohman commended the group on staying focused and together throughout the World Cup.
