Camisetas CHILE
Welcome back, ladies.  For the second time in four years, the Canyon of Heroes belonged to the U.S. women’s soccer team as Megan Rapinoe, Alex Morgan and their victorious teammates rolled through Lower Manhattan to celebrate their latest world championship.  Air horns echoed along Broadway and the crowd chanted “USA! USA!” when the team members rolled past aboard floats and ticker-tape wafted from the skyscrapers above.  “It means the world to me because they’re my idols,” said 10-year-old spectator Molly Malovich, who came out from Allentown, N.J., with her mom Tracey. The elementary school student, a center midfielder on her soccer team, believes she can one day play on a World Cup-winning team.  Crowds began arriving long before the 9:30 a.m. kickoff on a sticky summer morning, with supporters lined up behind steel barricades the length of the parade route north to City Hall. A heavy police presence was visible and streets in the area were closed to traffic.  Ellis Colandrea, 6, staked out a good spot along the route with her dad Trevor. The aspiring soccer star held aloft a simple, hand-written message to the champions: “You make my future brighter.»  Spectator Kelsey Parisi, 29, said the women’s victory was a literal lifesaver for her. The Pennsylvania woman was struggling with depression when she headed to France to watch the Americans in the World Cup — catching every game through the 2-0 victory in the finals over the Netherlands.  “I was in the hospital six months for a suicide attempt,” said Parisi. “I’ve always loved this team but being able to follow them through this process is amazing. It meant more than soccer.»  Many in the crowd were young women wearing team jerseys, and they offered their admiration for both the players’ activism and athleticism.  “It’s inspiring for women of all ages,” said Nora Anderson, 19, a college student from Iowa.  He friend Betsy Wallace, 18, agreed: “After watching them dominate, I truly feel I can do anything.”  The ticker-tape celebration came four years to the day after the 2015 parade honoring their World Cup victory.  High school soccer player Bella Ramirez, 15, wasn’t going to miss the parade despite a torn ACL that left her on crutches. She stopped first at the hotel where the team was staying, and actually met some of her heroes from the U.S. team after arriving shortly after 6 a.m. “I saw Mallory Pugh and I started crying,” she said. “Alex Morgan signed my shirt. I though they would be too busy, but they were super sweet and humble. We just talked about soccer and my injury.” Related Gallery U.S. Women’s National Team celebrate their 2019 FIFA World Cup win with Ticker Tape Parade in New York City  The team made headlines both on and off the field in storming to their second straight title and fourth overall.
