New York City crowds on Wednesday lined Broadway Avenue from Battery Park to City Hall with one purpose to see the 2019 FIFA Women's World Cup champions and cheer on the members of the United States Women's Soccer Team.

The team didn't get to this point on sheer luck, nor did it happen without facing adversity. The team faced backlash on multiple occasions, from demanding equal pay to celebrating unapologetically after every goal they scored. Yet, it was some of those moments that resonated with the nation the most.

We talked to some fans who lined the streets to celebrate the USWNT's victory to find out what their favorite moment was.
