U.S. Soccer Team Goes Viral for Apparent Hungover Picture After Gold Medal Celebration

When you play hard, you get to party hard. When you win a gold medal in the Olympics, you get to celebrate like the world champions that you are.

The United States women's soccer team apparently did that over the weekend after defeating Brazil 1-0 in the 2024 Summer Olympics final on Friday, winning its fifth gold medal and first since the 2012 Olympics.

As has been the case for many other USA teams to win gold, the squad got together the next morning, posed on a set of steps in Paris, and took a picture for the history books.

The USWNT picture might go into the history books as one of the funnier ones we've seen.

Why was it funny? From the looks of it, the team had quite a bit of fun the night before, and it showed on their faces.

Once the picture hit social media and fans could zoom in on each hungover face in the image, the jokes started pouring out online. Here are some of the best that we saw:

When you are rightfully crowned world champions and you bring home the gold for the first time in over a decade, you get to celebrate however you want.

Just be prepared for how you might feel the next morning.
