Against the odds and amid a backdrop of turmoil, Spain reached the pinnacle in Sydney on Sunday, beating England 1-0 to win the Women’s World Cup for the first time.
Spain could even afford to miss a second-half penalty as La Roja became only the second country, after Germany, to win both the men’s and women’s World Cups.
But there is some solace for England which, like Spain, was competing in a Women’s World Cup final for the first time, because the team has progressed further than ever before in this competition.
!”Spain is the reigning Women's World Cup winner at Under-17, Under-20 and senior level.
Spain has become a world champion without some of its best players, talents who are the finest in the world in their respective positions.
