At Decines-Charpieu, France:
Megan Rapinoe (PK-61') and Rose Lavelle (69') each scored once on Sunday as the United States repeated their Women's World Cup championship from 2015 by blanking the Netherlands 2-0 in the championship match.
The title is the Americans' fourth, a record for the tournament.
Here are the happy Americans, celebrating their latest World Cup championship.

At Porto, Portugal:
In Sunday's UEFA Nations League Final, Goncalo Guedes scored the game's lone goal in the 60th minute as Portugal defeated the Netherlands 1-0, enabling the host nation to win their second major title (2016 European Championships).
Earlier on Sunday, after 120 scoreless minutes, Harry Maguire, Ross Barkley, Jadon Sancho, Raheem Sterling, Jordan Pickford, and Eric Dier all converted their spot kicks as England defeated Switzerland 6-5 in a penalty-kick shootout that required six rounds, enabling the Three Lions to clinch third place.
