Obama congratulates Team United States of America on Twitter
She captioned the snap: “U.S.A”.
The United States Women’s National Team celebrates with the trophy after they beat Japan 5-2 in the Federation Internationale de Football Association Women’s World Cup soccer championship in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, Sunday, July 5, 2015.
Beyonce led the way for stars celebrating the win on social media.
Anyone else just order a soccer jersey? Her daughter Blue Ivy Carter (with husband Jay Z) was also given her own strip with her initials, BIC, emblazoned on the back.
Whether at home or at the bar, Team U.S. fans in South Mississippi were gathered around the TV to cheer on the home team.
Other tributes came from Nick Jonas, Jared Padalecki, Snoop Dogg, Justin Timberlake, Josh Duhamel, Brandon Routh and Josh Groban, who tweeted, “That’s how you do it!”
Obama wasn’t the only politician to jump on the USWNT bandwagon; fellow Democrat Hillary Clinton followed suit by congratulating the team but turned down one fan’s suggestion she should take to the field herself to aid her presidential campaign bid.
