I watched the whole series and must admit that the US team were a cut above the rest and deserved their win. However, I have been watching women's football for some years and have always commented on how entertaining it has been without all the fouling and faking which bedogs the men's game. Unfortunately this world cup series has seen an exponential increase in this unseemly and unsporting behaviour. If it continues like this I will almost certainly revert to watching rugby in future.

Are you a caregiver for a child with an ostomy? In the summer months, this can become more challenging, thanks to heat, humidity, water activities, and travel plans.

H'eh Bill "et al,"
There is a running joke on this side of the pond about "football." It goes like this: The difference between American/Canadian football and European football (what we call soccer) is that in American/Canadian football ... the players fall down AFTER they are hit.
I think the resounding issue in this big win is that it sheds light on the difference in gender pay equality, not just in football/soccer, but in all sports.

Hello Karen. Gender equality (or inequality) is certainly not confined to pay. It comes in all manner of guises and disguises. In the 1960's I ran two female football teams. The reason for orgainising two teams was that (in those days) women were not allowed to compete against the men, so the two teams had to play against each other. There were no other female teams to compete against. Noboby got paid and there was just as much 'support' for the women as there was for the men( I suspect that was for the novelty value of the spectacle). Perhaps it's my own perception but in those days there seemed to be very little fouling and certainly no falling down without good reason. Also, at work, I was an honorary member of a 'women's group' who were working towards righting the wrongs of gender inequality. I think they found it useful to have a male advocate to speak (and write) openly about discrimination alongside them on their behalf.
I could go on-and on about this subject because, in essence, the basic principles and practice of inequality are the same as all the other types of bullying there are in the world of human interaction.
