I'm torn, a lot of goals were scored by women playing in their first WC.


They've achieved their dream and should celebrate their goals accordingly. But after goal 7, the celebrations should have been nixed except for the women I talked to above.

It's also not the women's teams fault that there is a hugh disparity in quality among WWC teams. Women's sports around the world are still vastly funded at different levels. FIFA and women's soccer still has a long way to go to create the parity you see among the men's teams.
