One of the best parts of every World Cup are the reactions to big moments.
Every four years, hardcore and first-time soccer fans are living and dying with every kick of the ball. If there's a winning goal in stoppage- or extra-time, you're just about guaranteed to see videos of those fans go viral.
If the United States Women's National Team is able to win its first-ever back-to-back title in France on Sunday, there are going to be plenty of those big moments. The USWNT squares off with the Netherlands in the final on Sunday (8:00 a.m. PT), and must knock off the reigning European champions on the road to repeating.
