On Sunday in Vancouver, the United States women's national team won its third World Cup title by downing Japan by a shocking score of 5-2. It was 4-0 only 16 minutes into the game thanks in part to a quick hat trick by Carli Lloyd, and the United States added another goal after Japan showed some signs of a possible comeback later in the game.
Needless to say, it was quite an impressive performance by the United States, and quite a few Detroit Lions players took notice. Here's a look back at their tweets on the World Cup final:
