In a kind of exclamation point on the long Fourth of July weekend festivities, the U.S. women’s soccer team easily handled Japan in Sunday’s World Cup finals, winning 5-2. The Seattle Times, which covered the event in Vancouver, focuses on Carli Lloyd, who scored a hat trick (three goals) in 16 minutes, setting a World Cup speed record for women and men.

In more awesome American sportswomen news, the Williams sisters, first-seeded Serena and 16th-seeded Venus, face off early this morning (5 a.m., Pacific time) in the first match of the “round of 16” at Wimbledon. The Los Angeles Times nicely sets that one up.
