Final thoughts.

 That was a heck of a tournament. Canada had a few firsts. First draw, first win, first time in the knockout round, first win in knockout round. Prior to the tournament, nobody heard of Cape Verde. After tying Spain and giving Argentina a handful in the round of 32, everyone was looking up where Cape Verde was. Norway knocking out Brazil. Spain giving up one goal the whole tournament and never trailed. The finish to the third place game was insane. This was a tournament to remember. Until 2030 (in Spain, Portugal, Morocco, Argentina, Paraguay and Uruguay. The 100th birthday of the world cup), cheers. There's the 2027 womens world cup in Brazil.

Just think....

The world cup ends in 8 days. But don't fret. The summer is not over.  From July 23 - August 2, the Commonwealth Games in Glasgow, Scotland will be happening.  The break in between may be needed.
