On Thursday, Germany will play Austria in the quarter-finals of the European Women’s Soccer Championship. And there are rumors that Germany, as the favorite, is slightly ahead. After all, the preliminary round record was flawless. It’s not like I can judge for myself, because the truth is: I don’t care.
And yet I can’t shake the feeling that it should interest me; the hype surrounding these women’s soccer games is getting stronger every day. The pressure to think it’s all really great, too.
