Last night, the USWNT wrapped up their first set of friendlies in preparation for the upcoming Olympics. Everyone, and we mean everyone, had been waiting for this moment for months and it did not disappoint. Simply put, the vibes were immaculate while we could go into the weeds on tactics and how the team played, we thought it better to talk about how this team made us feel. It was a bit like……
You know that feeling waking up on Friday morning to that check already in the bank account for the weekend? You know that immense joy when you board a flight and have the whole row to yourself? You remember those moments with your best friend when just a look not only told the joke, but had you both dying of laughter? You remember those mornings on school holidays when your friends knocked on your door to ride bikes around the neighborhood? You know that feeling of intense happiness when you hear the unhinged laughter of a newborn?
You know that feeling when you get the first batch of freshly made McDonald’s fries? You know that serotonin boost you get when a cutie compliments the way you smell? You remember that feeling of victory when you asked your parents if your friends could spend the night and they said yes? You know that scene from the movie, Pursuit of Happyness when near the end Will Smith says “this part of my life, this little part, is called happiness.”
Yea, that is what it feels like watching USWNT right now. That’s what it feels like knowing this is only the beginning for this team under Emma Hayes.
