Congratulations to Ecuador but my heart goes out to Trinidad and Tobago, in my opinion they were the more dominating team and seemed to do everything apart from score!! I hope the recent worldwide spotlight on them will encourage further developments and support for women’s football in their country so they can come back even stronger and prepared.
