The Women’s World Cup final match between the US and Japan set all kinds of records over the weekend. The women’s final was the most-watched soccer match ever, men’s or women’s, in United States’ history. Sunday’s game averaged 25.4 million television viewers. American Carli Lloyd became the first woman to score a “hat trick” in a final match. In other words, Lloyd scored three goals in the game. She also broke the record for the fastest three goals scored in Women’s World Cup history. With seven total goals between the US and Japan, the game was the highest-scoring final in World Cup history. The US team set a record of its own, with five goals scored in the final match. Japan also set some World Cup records. Japanese midfielder Homare Sawa now shares the record with Brazil’s Formiga for playing in six of the seven Women’s World Cups. Despite record-breaking television audiences and historic plays, the US women’s team will receive only $2 million for winning its third World Cup— the only women’s team ever to do so. In comparison, the German team walked away with $35 million when it won the Men’s World Cup last year.
