They won the toughest bracket.

And they faced the team that knocked them out 4 years ago!

Amy Lawrence of CBS Sports Radio echoed Bennett, saying the final match is what Team USA has been competing for.

"There is the revenge factor for Team USA. Thirteen members of Team USA were part of that team four years ago that lost in penalty kicks including all four women who took the penalty kicks for Team USA," Lawrence said.

If FIFA managed this -- they ARE good! (but we also know they aren't)
