,july #g1 #bjai1 of the #bjai ,fdration 
,internationale de ,football            
,association ,women's ,world ,cup1 and  
for becoming the most successful team in
 international women's soccer4  ,whereas
 the ,united ,states ,women's ,national 
,team 7,,uswnt7 is the first team to win
 the ,women's ,world ,cup #d times and  
the second team to win back-to-back     
,world ,cup titles2 ,whereas the ,,uswnt
 is ranked #a by the ,fdration          
,internationale de ,football            
,association 7,,fifa72 ,whereas1 during 

the #bjai ,world ,cup1 the ,,uswnt set  
the record for most goals scored in a   
single game1 as well as most goals      
scored in the group stage1 with #ac and 
#ah goals1 respectively1 and also set a 
record for the most goals scored in a   
single ,world ,cup1 with #bf goals1 and 
a record for wins at a ,women's ,world  
,cup with #g wins2 ,whereas the team's  
goal difference of #bc is the highest   
ever recorded by a country at a ,women's
 ,world ,cup2 ,whereas ,,uswnt players  
have won the ,golden ,ball at the       
,women's ,world ,cup #c times1 while no 
other country has won more than #a2     
,whereas ,alex ,morgan tied the record  
set by ,michelle ,akers in #aiia for    
goals in a match with #e goals2 ,whereas
 ,megan ,rapinoe became the first player
 to score from a penalty kick in a      
,women's ,world ,cup final1 and the     
first player to win the ,golden ,boot   
and the ,golden ,ball at a ,women's     
,world ,cup ,final2 ,whereas ,carli     
,lloyd set a record of scoring at least 

#a goal in #f consecutive ,women's      
,world ,cup matches1 which scoring run  
started in #bjae1 and ,coach ,jill      
,ellis became the first coach to win the
 ,women's ,world ,cup twice2 ,whereas   
the game against the ,netherlands was   
the #ejth game played by the ,,uswnt at 
the ,world ,cup--the most by any        
country--and the ,,uswnt is also the    
first to play in #c consecutive ,women's
 ,world ,cup ,finals2 ,whereas1 as the  
,,uswnt continues to score big on the   
global stage1 it continues to fight for 
equal treatment in the workplace at     
home1 and1 following a ,federal wage    
complaint with the ,united ,states      
,equal ,employment ,opportunity         
,commission in #bjaf1 the members of the
 ,,uswnt sued the ,united ,states       
,soccer ,federation on ,march #bh1      
#bjai1 for discrimination by paying the 
women's national team less than the     
men's national team for equal work and  
by denying them equal playing1 training1
 and travel conditions1 promotion of    

their games1 support1 and development2  
,whereas the ,,uswnt generates more     
revenue and attracts higher ,,tv ratings
 than their male counterparts1 but get  
paid less simply because they are women2
 ,whereas women have been fighting for  
equal rights in sports since the        
enactment of title ,,ix1 the #aigb law  
that prohibits discrimination based on  
sex in all federally funded education   
initiatives2 ,whereas the ,world ,cup   
champions won ,america's respect for    
their grit and determination on and off 
the field1 and the ,,uswnt members who  
inspire our country with their          
patriotism1 poise1 tenacity1 skill1 and 
excellence every time they take the     
field deserve to be fairly compensated2 
and ,whereas1 despite ,,fifa's efforts  
to increase the ,women's ,world ,cup    
prize money from #ae1jjj1jjj in #bjae to
 #cj1jjj1jjj in #bjai1 the gap between  
men's and women's pay is still          
significant1 as the #bjah men's ,world  
,cup prize stood at #djj1jjj1jjj3 ,now1 

therefore1 be it  ,that the ,house of   
,representatives congratulates the      
,united ,states ,women's ,national ,team
 for its win on ,july #g1 #bjai1 of the 
#bjai ,fdration ,internationale de      
,football ,association ,women's ,world  
,cup and for becoming the most          
successful team in international women's
 soccer4
