Very nicely said.
Like the implication that there is a high bar of expectations (this is not the men's WC, you know), with understanding. Those are values that can help grow this sport to new heights.

I got 9 hours of sleep last night and it felt incredible.

Now it's time to watch #ENGvNGA on replay - rooting for #Nigeria and Iffy Onumonu but expecting #England to take it.

Looking at the rosters Nigeria has three NWSL stars (Iffy, Alozie, and Kanu) while England has no active NWSL players on their roster (tho they do have NWSL alum and drama magnet Daly).

I've come full circle: I got into NWSL by looking for WWC stars, now I root for WWC teams based on what NWSL players they have.

@wwc

Rooting for the US early yesterday morning and Nigeria early this morning has been an *experience*... an experience with far too many penalty kicks 😬

To my inexperienced eyes, Nigeria played better, and gave them a heck of a game, at least. 💚 🤍 💚 @wwc #wwc #FIFAWWC #ENGvNGA

WHAT IS WITH THIS WORLD CUP AND IDENTICAL PENALTY MISSES?!?!?!

#FIFAWWC #ENGvNGA @wwc

England taking first with the experience, stats onside here

Penalties have 20 minutes to be done with #matildas await. #engvnga #wwc #wwc2023 #FIFAWWC #WorldCup #WorldCup2023 #MastodonFC @wwc

Penalty kicks, not again 😬 😩 @wwc #WWC #WWC2023 #FIFAWWC #ENGvNGA

my horrible little nation after we knock Nigeria out on penalties after some seriously dirty play

#FIFAWWC #ENGvNGA @wwc

I think Bronze was very lucky there that VAR didn’t call that a penalty #engvnga #wwc #wwc2023 #FIFAWWC #WorldCup #WorldCup2023 #MastodonFC @wwc

Commentator referring to Nigeria as "shall I say, a smaller nation" sounds a bit, shall I say, #racist #WWC2023 #ENGvNGA

Should I still be sleeping ahead of a tough work week? Yes.

Did I wake up, check the score, and get out of bed to cheer for the Super Falcons? Heck yes! 😁

as an England supporter I am not a fan of this at all, but it's a great example to tap when people say "the womens' game is just nicer than the mens'"

nah, a lot of footballers are shithousers, and that's just grand.

Right decision, brainless by James. #WWC #FIFAWomensWorldCup #ENGvNGA #ENGNGA #WomensFootball #Soccer #Football

That has to be red #WWC #FIFAWomensWorldCup #ENGvNGA #ENGNGA

Thrilling first half, some solid chances for both teams. Nigeria in particular is impressive . @wwc #ENGvNGA.

Congratulations to Melissa Borjas, the #referee at #England v #Nigeria at the Women's #soccer #WorldCup. She corrected her erroneous penalty decision after viewing the replay. That takes a lot of #courage.

My call, after viewing the #replay: Holding outside the box. But inside the box, it was a picture book case of #diving . Feet higher than the buttocks.
