New Zealand vs Philippines. Fifa World Cup. Group A. Wellington. New Zealand. (Joe Serci / SPP) New Zealand v Philippines, FIFA Women's World Cup 2023, Group A, Football, Wellington Regional Stadium, Wellington, New Zealand - 25 Jul 2023 Sarina scored the first-ever goal for the Philippines in any World Cup, on the way the the country's first-ever WIN in any World Cup. Absolutely thrilling. I watched the clip of their announcers calling the match and they totally cut their mics so that the audience could hear the crowd cheering, and made a point to underline that it was history-making for ANY Philippines football team. What a great moment, and against the home team, too (New Zealand in this case). The crowd seemed awesome about it. ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2023/07/shutterstock_editorial_14021352n-1690490087.jpg) Mandatory Credit: Photo by Joe Serci/SPP/Shutterstock (14021352n) Wellington, New Zealand, 25 July 2023: C.J. Bott (4, New Zealand) appeals to the referee. New Zealand vs Philippines. Fifa World Cup. Group A. Wellington. New Zealand. (Joe Serci / SPP) New Zealand v Philippines, FIFA Women's World Cup 2023, Group A, Football, Wellington Regional Stadium, Wellington, New Zealand - 25 Jul 2023 Those striped unis are so good. Argentina has shown the world how iconic a distinctive approach like that can be. I don't hate NZ's either -- it at least has SOME visual texture (which probably isn't a thing, but... it is to me). ## Lindsey Horan ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2023/07/shutterstock_editorial_14024525q-1690489974.jpg) Mandatory Credit: Photo by Joe Serci/SPP/Shutterstock (14024525q) Lindsey Horan (10, USA) focused on game and looks for passing options. Fifa Womens World Cup 2023 - USA vs Netherlands FIFA Women's World Cup 2023, USA vs Netherlands, Wellington, New Zealand - 27 Jul 2023 It was wild to hear the announcer say that Horan's best revenge against frustration with the Dutch would be to score right then on a corner... and then she did. Can't script it better. ## Danielle Van de Donk, Lindsey Horan ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2023/07/shutterstock_editorial_14024525al-1690489995.jpg) Mandatory Credit: Photo by Joe Serci/SPP/Shutterstock (14024525al) Push and shove with Danielle van de Donk (10, Netherlands). USA vs Netherlands. Fifa World Cup. Group E. Wellington. New Zealand. FIFA Women's World Cup 2023, USA vs Netherlands, Wellington, New Zealand - 27 Jul 2023 These two are teammates in France when they're not on the national squads, and Danielle made what I thought was a tackle into Horan's plant leg (but which reports call a hip check) that Horan didn't appreciate. I wouldn't have, either; it looked dangerous. But then they squabbled and Horan ended up shoving her, and the ref had to try and make them shake hands and cool down. Horan was already playing on one yellow, and they were down 1-0 at this point; if she'd gotten another yellow, she'd have been out for the next crucial match against Portugal. As a teammate I might have been worried -- and i guess Julie Ertz did get in there and beg her to calm down and just score the goal to shut them up, so she did. ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2023/07/shutterstock_editorial_14024525u-1690489953.jpg) Mandatory Credit: Photo by Joe Serci/SPP/Shutterstock (14024525u) Lindsey Horan (10, USA) gets head to ball from a corner. Fifa Womens World Cup 2023 - USA vs Netherlands FIFA Women's World Cup 2023, USA vs Netherlands, Wellington, New Zealand - 27 Jul 2023 I don't THINK this is the one she scored on, but wow, what a scrum. ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2023/07/shutterstock_editorial_14024525ap-1690490005.jpg) Mandatory Credit: Photo by Joe Serci/SPP/Shutterstock (14024525ap) Lindsay Horan (10, USA) prepares to header the ball. USA vs Netherlands. Fifa World Cup. Group E. Wellington. New Zealand. FIFA Women's World Cup 2023, USA vs Netherlands, Wellington, New Zealand - 27 Jul 2023 This MIGHT be the one she scored on. Regardless, again, how ANYONE gets their head on the ball, much less deflects it to perfection, is a mystery to me. ## Rose Lavelle ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2023/07/shutterstock_editorial_14024526be-1690489964.jpg) Mandatory Credit: Photo by Hollandse Hoogte/Shutterstock (14024526be) Jackie Groenen of the Netherlands in action against Rose Lavelle of the United States at the Sky Stadium at the World Cup in New Zealand and Australia. USA v Netherlands, FIFA Women's World Cup 2023, Wellington Regional Stadium, Wellington, New Zealand - 27 Jul 2023 Credit to Rose Lavelle for the gorgeous corner. I love her. Ever since the last World Cup, when she came on and deployed THE most stunning footwork... she's incredible to watch and she makes the team better when she's in, so I hope her knee rehab has gone well. I wonder if she'll start against Portugal, or if they will decide her energy is what the team needs after halftime. They were SO limp against The Netherlands until the second half. ## Jackie Groenen ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2023/07/shutterstock_editorial_14024525t-1690489985.jpg) Mandatory Credit: Photo by Joe Serci/SPP/Shutterstock (14024525t) Jackie Groenen (14\. Netherlands) looks focused. USA vs Netherlands. Fifa World Cup. Group E. Wellington. New Zealand. FIFA Women's World Cup 2023, USA vs Netherlands, Wellington, New Zealand - 27 Jul 2023 I love the Netherlands jerseys, though. The subtle pattern and then solid stripe of orange... they're so good. ## Canada vs Ireland ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2023/07/shutterstock_editorial_14023005x-1690490025.jpg) Mandatory Credit: Photo by CHINE NOUVELLE/SIPA/Shutterstock (14023005x) (230726) - PERTH, July 26, 2023 (Xinhua) - Adriana Leon (2nd R) of Canada celebrates scoring during the group B match between Canada and Ireland at the 2023 FIFA Women's World Cup in Perth, Australia, July 26, 2023\. Australia Perth Fifa 2023 Women's World Cup Group B Can vs Ire - 26 Jul 2023 Canada's black jerseys with the maple leaf are better, but you can't always wear the same ones. The two players just piled on top of each other in goal are quite a tragic pair. ## Canada vs Ireland ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2023/07/shutterstock_editorial_14022537gm-1690490015.jpg) Editorial use only Mandatory Credit: Photo by Ryan Byrne/INPHO/Shutterstock (14022537gm) Canada vs Republic of Ireland WNT.

If you see "Aotearoa" on the billboards around the stadium, that is the contemporary Māori name for New Zealand. ## Australia vs Nigeria ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2023/07/shutterstock_editorial_14021686fm-1690490053.jpg) Editorial use only Mandatory Credit: Photo by Isabel Infantes/Shutterstock (14021686fm) Hayley Raso Australia Women v Nigeria Women, FIFA Women's World Cup, Group B, International Football, Brisbane Stadium, Brisbane, Australia - 27 Jul 2023 Tough loss for Oz against Nigeria. I didn't notice the swirl on their jerseys before; just the colors. I like it! ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2023/07/shutterstock_editorial_14021686gi-1690490065.jpg) Editorial use only Mandatory Credit: Photo by Isabel Infantes/Shutterstock (14021686gi) Asisat Oshoala Australia Women v Nigeria Women, FIFA Women's World Cup, Group B, International Football, Brisbane Stadium, Brisbane, Australia - 27 Jul 2023 Nigeria went for the slightly less atomic kit, and I sorta miss the mega-green. I like the jersey, but it also looks a bit like a pajama top or something. ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2023/07/shutterstock_editorial_14021686gj-1690490033.jpg) Editorial use only Mandatory Credit: Photo by Isabel Infantes/Shutterstock (14021686gj) Alanna Kennedy reacts to Rasheedat Ajibade going down injured Australia Women v Nigeria Women, FIFA Women's World Cup, Group B, International Football, Brisbane Stadium, Brisbane, Australia - 27 Jul 2023 This made me laugh -- I have no idea what's happening here, but that facial expression on Alanna Kennedy is the one I make 99 percent of the time when a soccer player goes down. I just ALWAYS assume they're BS'ing (and then feel really terrible if it turns out they aren't). There was one last night where a Dutch player was trying to act like she'd had her nose bashed in and I couldn't tell that our player even touched her? Although our players were a little spicy throughout, it's true. ## Linda Caicedo (18) of Colombia vs Kang Chae-rim (23) of South Korea ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2023/07/shutterstock_editorial_14021075ct-1690490096.jpg) Mandatory Credit: Photo by Patricia Pérez Ferraro/SPP/Shutterstock (14021075ct) Sydney, Australia, Jul 25th 2023: Linda Caicedo (18) of Colombia vs Kang Chae-rim (23) of South Korea () (Patricia Pérez Ferraro / SPP) FIFA Women's World Cup 2023 - Colombia v South Korea - Sydney Football Stadium, Sydney, Australia, Jul 25th 2023:, Sydney, Sydney, Australia - 25 Jul 2023 I like the colorful side panels on both of these. They're both very... flag-celebratory? Yes. ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2023/07/GettyImages-1566503615-1690490127.jpg) AUCKLAND, NEW ZEALAND - JULY 22: Megan Rapinoe #15 of the United States arrives at the stadium before a FIFA World Cup Group Stage game between Vietnam and USWNT at Eden Park on July 22, 2023 in Auckland, New Zealand. (Photo by Brad Smith/USSF/Getty Images for USSF). This was captioned as Megan Rapinoe, but I'm pretty sure we can all agree that isn't Megan Rapinoe. Anyway, this is what the women wore the first day to get off the team bus, and I LOVE IT. ## Alyssa Thompson ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2023/07/GettyImages-1561699495-1690490153.jpg) AUCKLAND, NEW ZEALAND - JULY 22: Alyssa Thompson #7 of the United States arrives at the stadium prior to the FIFA Women's World Cup Australia & New Zealand 2023 Group E match between USA and Vietnam at Eden Park on July 22, 2023 in Auckland, New Zealand. (Photo by Brad Smith/USSF/Getty Images ) Alyssa is our youngest player, at 18, and I hope she's enjoying every second of this. Also for a second I thought she had a cool rainbow accent, until I realized it's the strap on her lanyard blowing around. ## Alex Morgan ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2023/07/GettyImages-1561690738-1690490166.jpg) AUCKLAND, NEW ZEALAND - JULY 22: Alex Morgan #13 of the United States arrives at the stadium prior to the FIFA Women's World Cup Australia & New Zealand 2023 Group E match between USA and Vietnam at Eden Park on July 22, 2023 in Auckland, New Zealand.

They're like wedge trainers. ## Lynn Williams, Megan Rapinoe ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2023/07/GettyImages-1566503785-1690490140.jpg) AUCKLAND, NEW ZEALAND - JULY 22: Lynn Williams #6 and Megan Rapinoe #15 of the United States stand on the field before a FIFA World Cup Group Stage game between Vietnam and USWNT at Eden Park on July 22, 2023 in Auckland, New Zealand. (Photo by Brad Smith/USSF/Getty Images for USSF). These are just very slick suits, and I wish so many of them had not worn the dopey sunglasses to go with them. Lynn's shades here are much more the right speed. ## The team ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2023/07/GettyImages-1561633677-1690489942.jpg) AUCKLAND, NEW ZEALAND - JULY 22: Th United States Women's National Team pose for a photo prior to the FIFA Women's World Cup Australia & New Zealand 2023 Group E match between USA and Vietnam at Eden Park on July 22, 2023 in Auckland, New Zealand.

Get in there ladies, Hopefully the first half against the Netherlands was the wake-up call they needed. ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2023/07/shutterstock_editorial_14020730e-1690490118.jpg) Editorial use only Mandatory Credit: Photo by Isabel Infantes/Shutterstock (14020730e) Sydney, Australia, July 25th 2023: South Korea fan ahead of the 2023 FIFA Womens World Cup football match between Colombia v South Korea at Sydney Football Stadium in Sydney, Australia.(Isabel Infantes/Shutterstock) Colombia Women v South Korea Women, FIFA Women's World Cup, Group H, International Football, Sydney Football Stadium, Sydney, Australia - 25 Jul 2023 These glasses are perfect.
