The lead: A knockout blow
The 2023 Women’s World Cup is now down to eight teams with the quarterfinals approaching, and some heavyweights are already on the plane home, including the United States, Canada, Brazil and Germany.
While the U.S. was the only major casualty from the round of 16, the tournament also said goodbye to some knockout-round debutantes in South Africa, Jamaica and Morocco, whose stories have hopefully inspired a new generation of women’s soccer fans from those countries.
Japan, Colombia, Sweden, France, Spain, Netherlands, European champions England and co-hosts Australia are the ones who made it through. But before we completely turn the page, our correspondents on the ground give us their impressions from the round of 16.
