LYON, France - Television audience records have been smashed, global media coverage has been unprecedented and the quality of football has won over many sceptics — now the women’s World Cup heads into its final week, the business end of the tournament.
In Wednesday’s game, European champions the Netherlands take on a Sweden side who are on a high after upsetting Olympic champions Germany in Saturday’s quarter-final. What fills veterans of the women’s game with such confidence for the future is the sight of so many young female supporters in the crowds, school-age players who idolise the international footballers.
The hearts and minds aspect of this tournament has been a runaway success but now it is all about winning and losing. But, as the tears of French and German players following their eliminations in the last eight showed, such perspective is not for everyone.
