Carli Lloyd was on a mission.
It was her goal to help her team bring the World Cup trophy to the United States for the first time in 16 years.

The United States’ 5-2 victory Sunday over the defending champion in Vancouver, British Columbia, gave the Americans their first opportunity to lift the World Cup trophy since 1999.
