The United States women beat France 97-79 to win a twelfth FIBA Women's Basketball World Cup. [1] Reuters filed the comeback from 14 down. [1] This paper printed that title on Sunday. Monday has no thirteenth, no second final, and no new Berlin gold in fetched copy.

Stewart's night is a Sunday box score, not a forever unbeaten. Al Jazeera filed the same twelfth. [2] France's first final is still silver, not a stolen cup. Antonelli's Madrid win on another page is a different sport. A 6-0 tournament is still a Sunday result, not a rewritten dynasty.

France's silver is the program's best result and a recruiting tool for the next cycle. The gap closed and then reopened in the third quarter; that thirty minutes is the film session. A rematch needs another tournament.

Twelve titles across five straight tournaments is the kind of dominance that resets every record conversation in the sport. France leaves with its first final and a template for closing a 14-point gap. A rematch would need another World Cup.

France leaves with its first final. Twelve titles across five tournaments reset the record conversation. A rematch needs another World Cup.

Berlin already awarded the gold. A twelfth title and a 6-0 bracket are Sunday's box score, and this desk has no thirteenth to add. France keeps silver and a film session from the third quarter. The next cycle is the next tournament, not Monday.
Monday adds no thirteenth. Berlin already awarded the gold. A rematch needs another World Cup.
