The floodgates were kicked down by the United States Women's National Team at the final of the Women's World Cup.
What started as an early lead following Carli Lloyd's third-minute goal quickly turned into a slaughter, as she completed a hat trick within 16 minutes. Lloyd's third goal was off a jaw-dropping chip from the halfway line when she caught 'keeper Ayumi Kaihori wandering off her line.
By the time the interval rolled around, the USWNT were up 4-1 on Japan.
Of course, as the goals poured in, so did the tweets:

So being up 4-0 is that like being up 50 in the 4th quarter ?
