Five members of the reigning Women's World Cup champion Team USA said on Thursday they have filed a complaint against the US Soccer Federation alleging wage discrimination and insisting they should be paid the same as their male counterparts.

Barely four months before the American women are set to try for a fourth consecutive Olympic gold medal at Rio de Janeiro, players are taking a major stand.

"I think we've proven our worth over the years," World Cup MVP Carli Lloyd said on NBC's Today show.
