Disappointing result. They looked like the better team for most of the match, but just couldn’t break through. Penalty losses are always tough, but when it’s by less than an inch like that too it’s even tougher to swallow. Morgan, Rapinoe, and Ertz had amazing careers and accomplishments. I think this World Cup and watching how much some of the other countries have closed the gap in play and equality has a lot to do with their accomplishments off the field as well. An Arab nation just had a bunch of women essentially send the German women home by knocking them out of group play. That would have never even been a dream 10 years ago. It’s great how much these players have accomplished and how many young girls they’ve inspired to do great things. Thanks for the trophies ladies!
