Take a bow, Carli Lloyd. A hat trick in 16 minutes is already absurd. Even more absurd when the third goal is from behind the midfield line in the Women's World Cup final against rivals Japan. ARE. YOU. KIDDING. ME.
Another angle!

Lloyd, playing a more attacking role, notched the fastest hat trick in Women's World Cup history. She's scored in her last four games. Most importantly, she acheived something no player (not even Pele in 1970) has ever been able to acheive: score from behind the halfway line in a World Cup game.
Here's how Twitter is reacting to that memorable strike:
