WAS THIS THE BEST WOMEN'S WORLD CUP EVER? Without question. You have to give props, of course, to the 1999 Women's World Cup, which really marked a watershed moment for the tournament itself. Equally, the 2019 one will hold a special place in my heart -- it was a blast to cover and follow the U.S. team. But this tournament was so much more competitive, and the on-field product was so much better than any Women's World Cup that preceded it. Franziska Loeffelmann, Design Director Football Graphics at Adidas: "With record viewing figures for the Women’s Euros tournament last year, the upcoming World Cup is set to be a massive moment for the game that we love.

Women have been pounding on the door for decades, but it is men that still control the levers of power, the purse strings especially. The programme focuses on increasing girls’ participation as well as the proportion of female coaches and female leaders in football for good community programmes, helping to ensure that every girl participant has a female athlete role model in their community. WHAT DOES FIFA NEED TO DO BETTER IN 2027? Honestly, credit where it's due: I was impressed with the fan zones and the merch offerings during this tournament. Both 2019 and 2015 were pathetic in regard to both, so it was awesome to see FIFA invest in offering lots of cool merch people actually wanted to buy and in creating gathering spots for fans that built excitement for the tournament. I'm sure it also helped FIFA's bottom line, too. Which brings me to what FIFA ought to do: make sure women's teams are supported before the World Cup even happens. Like the Official Match Ball of the FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022 ™, OCEAUNZ features connected ball technology, providing precise ball data, which will be made available to Video Match Officials in real-time. Combined with player position data and by applying artificial intelligence, the innovative connected ball technology contributes to FIFA’s semi-automated offside technology and offers Video Assistant Referees instantaneous information to help optimize decision-making.

Obviously there is a huge Spanish influence here, with Bonmati the first name on the hypothetical team sheet. I've chosen to champion some breakout stars with Arnold in goal, Hunt in defence. Cooney-Cross in the midfield, and Miyazawa up top all making their World Cup debuts at this tournament. While England's path to the Euro 2022 crown was fairly serene, their journey to the World Cup final has been anything but.

Spain have got quality players and will have lots of possession but England also have world-class players. And they have the big-game experience, having beaten Spain on their way to winning Euro 2022.

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.

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!
