Americans were officially represented by Vice President Joe Biden, his wife, Jill Biden, their granddaughters (Natalie and Hunter) and President Obama’s youngest daughter Sasha in Vancouver, Canada on Sunday during the USA-Japan Women World Cup 2015 final encounter.

5-2 in favour of the United States women led by their captain, Carli Lloyd, the

the USA Team to victory as Vice President Biden walked majestically on the
pitch to congratulate the young American women that had made their country
proud in this year’s FIFA Women World Cup tournament in Canada.
