About 8 years from now I hope there’s an interview with a sweaty, joyful Brazil WNT player at the World Cup. Her team has just advanced because she scored. She would have been about 11, maybe 12 in 2019. She says “Marta told me futbol needed me. So here I am.”

Gender isn't binary, except for the two (2) shows about soccer. The boy show (Ted Lasso) is about what happens when boys play soccer (crying), and the girl show (Yellowjackets) is about what happens when girls play soccer (murder). Both shows are accurate.
