The Womens World Cup in Australia and New Zealand was a record-breaking tournament; It was expanded to 32 teams, with smaller nations proving their worth; Germany, Brazil and the USA struggled as goalkeepers like Mary Earps and Zecira Musovic shone; Spain were the eventual winners
- another team who underperformed at the tournament - saw them crash out.. Although losing to Sweden - ranked third heading into the tournament - is nothing to be ashamed of, very few predicted that the World Cup champions would finish second in their group, let alone be knocked out before the semi-finals for the first time.
Goalkeepers are not always in the spotlight, but this World Cup has proven more than ever how important they are in influencing results. Melchie Dumornay and Roselord Borgella in the second half against Haiti. Katrine Veje's corner for Denmark. Ashleigh Plumptre and Asisat Oshoala against Nigeria - for which Earps was rightly named Player of the Match. Lorena Bedoya in the quarter-final.The WSL returns soon - watch England's Lionesses as they return to domestic action in Octoberthat - while England were unable to find the net at the other end - kept the Lionesses in the game at a crucial moment.
