The future of US women’s soccer is still bright. But the rest of the world is catching up

CNN  

CNN — US goalkeeper Alyssa Naeher stood alone holding the ball and inhaled deeply, her eyes wide in disbelief, as Sweden’s players raced pitchside to form a joyous heap of yellow on the grass. As the US team itself posted on social media after the match, “This year’s Women’s World Cup is a testament to the growth of women’s soccer on a global scale …” The penalty shootout went to sudden death. Julie Foudy, a two-time World Cup winner and a member of the groundbreaking US team which won the 1999 Women’s World Cup, told CNN that while the US was “better” against Sweden, “they still couldn’t score.” “They couldn’t finish their penalty kicks in the end. After the penalty shootout went to sudden death, the video assistant referee determined that Lina Hurtig’s penalty had just crossed the line despite Naeher initially appearing to save it; Naeher later told Fox Sports, “We just lost the World Cup by a millimeter.” The truth is winning has become harder in women’s soccer and will become even more difficult. But what you’re seeing now in this World Cup in particular – I mean, Nigeria just took England to penalty kicks, and England had to win in that fifth penalty kick – the world has caught up.” The civil rights law Title IX, which was passed in 1972, helped transform women’s soccer in the US.
