This is well deserved, BUT:
1. Where is Caitlin Foord on this list? She had an *outstanding* #FIFAWWC (best Matilda at the tournament, imo), on top of her peerless credentials at Arsenal for the last few years.
2. How many years in a row is Sam Kerr going to dominate international soccer, get nominated for a major international award then be resoundingly ignored?

The Soccer Establishment™ has had a severe bias against "non footballing" countries for as long as I can remember, and it's well past time they got over themselves. The Old World Soccer Order where European and South American teams were all that "counted” is long gone - it's about time they accepted the new reality.

Fuck Luis Rubiales

Spain coach Jorge Vilda calls World Cup kissing row 'real nonsense' and Luis Rubiales' behaviour 'inappropriate' - Sky News https://apple.news/ArNWEZNvjRA6hAWHofxZAww

Luis Rubiales vows to fight on after suspension as 11 coaches resign.

With most of the coaching staff gone, Jorge Vilda is also rather lonely. Grwat to see things moving in the right direction.

Absolutely appalling. I have no words to express my disgust for the behavior of these men.

Honestly thought the Lionesses were going to do it.
But goodness me, what a team, what a squad, what a manager. They should be so proud - they’ve inspired and given us brilliant times again this summer. Thank you, @Lionesses 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

In the pursuit of excellence, we encounter moments where even our utmost dedication can't overcome the odds. #digitalart #FIFAWWC #football #soccer

The Oranje decorations have been taken down and the silver fern flag too. It’s always a bit awkward deciding when it’s time for them to go, but never more so when you support more than one team and they go out at different times in the tournament! But #FIFAWWC really is over, so no more excuses.

Y eso es lo que quieeeeeero, besos
#BeyondGreatness #FIFAWWC

Nailed it*!! #PredictionReflection #FIFAWWC

*if you count the Spanish goal that was disallowed

I wish that #FIFAWWC would also select the silver and bronze glove awards, not just the top goalkeeper. https://www.fifa.com/fifaplus/en/tournaments/womens/womensworldcup/australia-new-zealand2023/articles/fifa-womens-world-cup-awards-2023-all-the-winners

Just me or is it weird that the referees get medals?

#FIFAWWC #ESPvENG @wwc

Even though Spain was better and deserve the win, I feel gutted. I am not even English, but I follow the WSL closely and love the English team. And of course there is Sarina. 💔 #FIFAWWC

Big L for Palmerston North and the haka though.
