Lots of interest in the Women's World Cup Statesidepublished at 08:31 British Summer Time 28 July 2023

I went to watch Borussia Dortmund play the local San Diego team at the Snapdragon Stadium last night.
Naturally enough the stadium broadcaster wanted to talk with USA international Gio Reyna, who is currently out of action with a calf strain.
What I found quite interesting was that he asked Reyna about the US women’s team’s surprising draw with the Netherlands at the World Cup in Australia.
Anecdotally, there does seem to be a decent amount of interest here. In New Jersey last week I walked past a bar and there were lots of people watching USA’s opening game against Vietnam, which did go quite a bit better.
