Re: Women's World Cup - a bit of griping
It is part of the culture of soccer not to flaunt success in front of a weaker opponent. It’s the beautiful game, accessible to all, on every corner of the earth. Big celebrations happen but there is certainly and expectation of restraint in the face of an opponent with lesser skill and opportunity, women who are grateful to just be there and know they are amongst the giants of the game.
I had the opportunity to be at many of the last Women’s World
Cup games and there was an awesome comraderie amongst the fans who truly celebrated the accomplishments of every team there, whether it was the USA or a small country whose players had never left its borders before. It is a beautiful uniting game at its best.
