U.S. women's team celebrates World Cup triumph in New York City (VIDEO)

U.S. women's team celebrates World Cup triumph in New York City (VIDEO)

The victorious United States women's national football team celebrate their victorious World Cup campaign with a ticker-tape parade down New York City's 'Canyon of Heroes' along Broadway from Battery to City Hall.

The team stormed to their fourth World Cup triumph with a 2-0 victory against the Netherlands last weekend and they have returned home to a heroine's welcome in the Big Apple, where city officials have arranged the parade for fans of the team to pay tribute to Megan Rapinoe and co.

Rapinoe became one of the tournament's most outspoken stars, as the U.S. co-captain scored the first goal in the final from the penalty spot against the Dutch. Rose Lavelle doubled their advantage eight minutes later.

However, despite the celebrations in New York City it seems as though the same type of plaudits won't take place at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue as Rapinoe has publicly stated that she will resist any invitation to celebrate their win with Donald Trump at the White House.
