If you missed the World Cup final, then you probably missed Carli Lloyd absolutely dominating the game, scoring a hat-trick and ensuring that her side would win the trophy in what was a rematch of the 2011 final.
The US side were heavy favourites that year too, and managed to slip up against a Japan side that were not all that fancied. However, their emphatic win meant that there is no doubt about who the best side in the world is, as they romped to a 5-2 victory.
Many of the goals came early in the game, as the USA raced to an insurmountable lead, and Carli Lloyd capped off her hat-trick with this incredible goal from the half-way line.

This is why we want to kick like a girl.
