4. They were so fun to watch.

And we got to see some great young players, along with the 'old guard'.

If you were watching over the length of the Cup games, one of the 'youngsters' really stood out to me on the pitch. Rose Lavelle. The young midfielder is very dynamic. She scored the 2nd clinching goal for the US in the final on a fantastic solo run, and ended up being named the 3rd best player in Cup series. She just turned 24, is short for this level of competition at 5' 4", and maybe 110 lbs soaking wet, but what a player! She's also funny as hell. One of her teammates described her as a 'goofball nerd' if I recall correctly. Now I don't do FB, tweet or any of that stuff, but I can still look at that stuff on the net. Her Twitterfeed is hysterical. Take a look - https://twitter.com/roselavelle
