“I’m actually at a loss for words with how this whole thing went down,” Wombach told ESPN. “I’m just so proud to be on this team, and proud to be a part of something that in my opinion is really special.”
So were these tweets:
What a win for Team USA! Great game @CarliLloyd! Your country is so proud of all of you. Come visit the White House with the World Cup soon.
