The U.S. Women’s Nation Soccer Team is eyeing a three-peat in next year’s world cup, which will be held in Australia.

The team looked like champions in a 4-0 romp over Nigeria on Saturday at Children’s Mercy Park in KC, where a near-capacity crowd of 14,502 came out to watch the USWNT, which has already qualified for the Cup.

It was the ninth consecutive shut-out for the American women, who outshot Nigeria 14-8 and kept constant pressure on their opponents.

Photographer Jeremey Theron Kirby was there to capture images of the game for Kansas City magazine.
