“Life is complicated. Life is going to throw all kinds of obstacles in your way. All I can tell you is what works for me: be true to yourself, don’t do fake, and above all else, keep on working, because that’s what will take you where you want to go.”
–Carli Lloyd
My wife and I are went to the Women’s World Cup in Canada in 2015. Unfortunately, due to work commitments, we are probably not going to be able to go this year. To make up for the loss, my wife just finished reading Forward: A Memoir by Abby Wambach, and we’ll be going to the American Outlaws bars to cheer the team on when we can make the games.
Since I’m writing this article in August, 2018, a good 10 months before the Women’s World Cup, it’s not possible to know where the U.S. team will be playing or when. Of course, we can’t even assume that the U.S. will actually qualify (cough…U.S. Men’s team…cough), but I think it’s reasonably safe to assume that the U.S. women’s team will actually qualify for the tournament. Therefore, I assumed that we would get the nightmare schedule of the team that is drawn as C3, requiring travel from Paris to Grenoble to Montpellier, and to Valenciennes.
