Women's Soccer Heroes

USA players celebrate their victory in the final football match between USA and Japan during the 2015 FIFA Women's World Cup at the BC Place Stadium in Vancouver on July 5, 2015. USA won 5-2.

Manhattan Borough President Gale Brewer talks about her letter to the mayor calling for a ticker tape parade down Lower Manhattan's "Canyon of Heroes" for the women's soccer World Cup champions.

"We've never had a 'canyon of heroines'...the time is now" for a ticker tape parade for the US women's soccer champs, says @galeabrewer.

Caller Chris is turned off by the cynicism in men's soccer -- but he says the women seem to "believe in the game when they play."
