Lower Manhattan showered the U.S. women’s soccer team with confetti and a parade to celebrate their World Cup victory. It’s the first ticker-tape parade there to honor a women’s sports team. The last parade honored the New York Giants for their Super Bowl victory in 2012. The crowd was between 500,000 and 1 million.
