Erin and Brennan pray to a goal post, thanking it for saving the US team from elimination. Well, that basically sums up their experiences this tournament. . . . We discuss the 2023 FIFA Women's World Cup in all its glory from debutants to experienced powerhouses, up and coming teams, and upsets galore. To the Matildas, we raise a Fosters, our new pride after all our teams had been destroyed by the blond giants of Sweden (always the bridesmaid and never the bride). Our faves: the US, Japan, Australia, and New Zealand. Our nemesis: THE NETHERLANDS (curse you Max Verstappen). Yup, only one villain, and for a purely arbitrary reason. It was nice to see a World Cup that wasn't sidelined by controversy but was highlighted with brilliant play, extraordinary talent, and just joy (plus drunk Australians). We can't wait for the next World Cup and hopefully by then the US will have risen again for WORLD DOMINATION PART 5!!!
