Those involved with the growth of women’s soccer worldwide saw this World Cup as a progress report, and the results had to be encouraging. The U.S. saw talented young cores from Spain, France, England and the Netherlands, and Brazil and Germany aren’t going away.
Where does that leave the Americans? They proved in France that they’re still in good shape. They excelled at their brand of aggressive soccer, and they have the pieces to do it again in 2023. Lavelle, Dunn, Lindsey Horan, Sam Mewis and Mallory Pugh will be the stars at that point. But for now, this U.S. performance stands alone in women’s soccer history. The Americans found a way to pass every test. As their star captain Rapinoe put it Sunday: “I think that there’s no team that is more battle-tested in knockout stages, in pulling crazy shit out of wherever you need to pull it out of, to move onto the next stage. That’s kind of what this team is all about.”The average SPI of this year’s 24 World Cup teams entering the tournament was 77.09, the highest ever.
