USA! Here are 11 awesome Instagram photos from the Ticker-Tape Parade today

Manhattan is now covered in white confetti from the aftermath of the U.S. Women’s Soccer Team ticker-tape parade (kicked off at 11am). Shortly after their World Cup triumph, thousands gathered to cheer and celebrate the ladies’ heroic win over Japan in a 5-2 victory—marking their first World Cup win since 1999.

FYI: This was Manhattan’s 205th ticker-tape march, and this year's event was especially monumental, since it’s rarely done in honor of women. You go, girls. The festivities end with a celebration at City Hall Park, where Mayor Bill de Blasio will hand the stars a key to the city. So in case you’re having serious FOMO right now, here are 11 awesome Instagram photos to recap what you missed. USA! USA! USA!
