The Women’s World Cup rolls on but it will do so without the United States who were knocked out in a penalty shootout with Sweden by a margin of millimeters. It was a game that shows how hard it is to win three consecutive World Cup titles but just because the USWNT are out of the tournament doesn’t mean that there aren’t impressive teams left to lift the World Cup title. The gap in talent between the United States and the rest of the world has been closing by the second and this Word Cup has showcased that with the USWNT only allowing two shots on target during the entire tournament. They now head home with their earliest exit in Women’s World Cup history.
But with the United States out, who are some of the top teams to lift the trophy? Only only team remaining in the field has ever won the World Cup before — Japan.
