Stayed off all media this morning until I watched the whole thing.
They played SO well. I was really proud of that effort. I wish they had come together like that earlier in the tournament. It sucks that it went to PKs and to lose on that one in particular was really rough. Overall though, they should be proud of that game.
We have a deep bench and some really great young talent. I hope we can replace our coach and come out a lot stronger in the next tournament.
I'm looking forward to watching the rest of the tournament with less anxiety. lol
Oof, that was an exciting match! I enjoyed it, my H did not. But I'm relieved because if I can't have nice things, neither can he lol. He figures the US coach is going to be sacked after that. Now that Canada and the US are out, we have to figure out who to cheer for.

The US team is going to be really strong next time around. Their young talent is unbelievably good.
loira, my husband is Dutch so we’re cheering for the Netherlands but I’d low key like to see Morocco or Jamaica or Nigeria advance.
I spent about a month in Morocco last winter. My friends were so happy about Morocco doing so well at their debut. And also still think women's sports are unimportant. You know I'm giving them shit daily. And making sure to inform them how much of the world actually cares and it has nothing to do with genitalia. Good play is good play
The more I read about it the more pissed I am… why is her country sticking up for her and saying she is a young player with a lot to learn? She was probably a shit player her whole life, you don’t just randomly start doing that. You don’t have to “learn” to be a good player who follows the rules. She needs to be off the team indefinitely.
I just saw Lauren James will be suspended for an additional game. So if England wins v Columbia, she will won't be able to play until the final or 3rd place game.
C and I are up and watching. We snoozed a little bit in the first half, but made tea (for me) and Froot Loops (for him) so we can be awake for the second half.

This was such a great tournament despite the US getting knocked out early. Lots of nice surprises, but in the end the best team won. Looking forward to the Olympics and then 2027 because the competition is so wide open now.
It makes me so happy to see how many great women’s teams are out there right now. Every game is competitive (more or less) and there is no longer a favorite for everything. Very exciting for the beautiful game!
