England captain Millie Bright: A massive amount of pride. The girls were unbelievable. We had a lot of critics, a few lost belief in us but we never stopped believing.

WHAT DOES FIFA NEED TO DO BETTER IN 2027? Get past the idea that it is up to women to break down barriers for greater access to and investment in the women's game. Women have been pounding on the door for decades, but it is men that still control the levers of power, the purse strings especially. FAVORITE MOMENT/GOAL OF THE TOURNAMENT The Australia-France shootout as a whole. I know many people hate shootouts, with Kerr chief among them, but there is no greater theatre than a penalty shootout and this one delivered from the intensity of emotions to the variety of narratives. Long live the penalty shootout!

The only defeat of Wiegman's 38-game reign with the Lionesses so far came in a friendly against Australia at Brentford in April - and she has won 18 out of 19 matches at major tournaments as a manager. BIGGEST BREAKOUT STAR IN 2023? From my point of view as someone who watches a lot of football, there was no surprise about Salma Paralluelo or Linda Caicedo showing up and balling out, nor were Cooney-Cross' standout performances unexpected. The pace and direct style of Beerensteyn and Paralluelo have added a new dimension to the women's game. Their explosive power has set the benchmark for forwards in the future. Paralluelo showed her abundant talents in Australia and New Zealand as Spain romped to their first-ever World Cup. Cameron Spencer/Getty Images While England's path to the Euro 2022 crown was fairly serene, their journey to the World Cup final has been anything but. Caicedo stunner wins Hyundai Goal of the Tournament". FIFA.com. Fédération Internationale de Football Association. 29 August 2023 . Retrieved 29 August 2023.

WAS THIS THE BEST WOMEN'S WORLD CUP EVER? Definitely. The depth of talent in the women's game has been made clear in Australia and New Zealand, with the biggest example being the struggles endured by the USWNT. But for a goalpost, the Americans would have suffered a group stage elimination against Portugal, a nation they wouldn't have even considered a rival not so long ago. The rise of teams from Africa and South America also made it a great tournament.
