The Women’s World Cup was held last summer in Australia and New Zealand. The United States had to prove itself once again as the front-runner. The USWNT, the women’s team title, has won two World Cups in a row. Netflix decided to follow the team on its way to third place. But in the end it turns out that it is not that easy.
In the United States, there are always high expectations when it comes to women’s soccer. While the country is a little behind schedule in men’s football, it is in good shape in women’s football.
The women’s team had already returned to two World Cups in a row before this year’s edition. Last summer, the team, including the retired Megan Rapinoe, wanted to add a third player. And to icing on the cake, Netflix will also be filming a documentary during the reality tournament.
Huge pressure
Everyone who followed the World Cup knows that the American dream has already collapsed. After a successful group stage, the USWNT played against Sweden in the next round. There she lost after a very exciting and stunning penalty series. The documentary on Netflix follows the players on their way to and during the tournament.
In addition to football, the documentary also covers everything that players have to deal with. The struggle for LGBTQ+ rights in the United States also plays a major role in this, we see players with their families, and we see them fighting for equal pay for the USWNT (Women’s National Team) and USMNT (Men’s National Team). .
Under pressure: Women’s World Cup team It can be watched on Netflix from December 12.
