⚽️ Someone Is Destined For World Cup Hero Moment

Someone from Spain, England, Australia or Sweden will make the key play at the World Cup. [View in browser]( [FOX SPORTS INSIDER WITH MARTIN ROGERS] In today’s FOX Sports Insider with Martin Rogers: Someone still playing in the World Cup will have a moment that will cement their soccer legacy … Alexia Putellas has done it all in the soccer world, but winning the World Cup would be perhaps the greatest one … and more! It's coming. For someone, and their team, and their country, a now-and-forever-more moment is just a week away. It takes a whole team to win a title but someone from either Spain, England, Australia or Sweden is going to find a unique kind of fate smiling upon them. They'll become a Women's World Cup hero. Their critical intervention will take their nation to its first-ever championship. And nothing will ever be the same again. For that person and her homeland, it will be the equivalent of the Brandi Chastain moment, as we know it in the United States. Even if you weren't born yet when Chastain smashed home her 1999 penalty kick and ripped off her jersey, it doesn't matter, you probably still know all about that timeless snapshot of history. It is suspended still, iconic, almost indescribable in its importance to all that came after it, to the growth of women's soccer, plus the societal status of the USWNT and the role it occupies in American sports. If you're German, it's the Nia Kuenzer moment. In the 2003 final against Sweden, Kuenzer produced a magnificent header in the eighth minute of extra-time for what remains – probably forever – as the only men's or women's World Cup final decided by "golden goal," with that experimental regulation abolished soon afterward. The celebrations in Germany were joyous then – and lingering in their impact. Fast-forward to today, and Germany has a booming domestic league, a funding pipeline for the women's game that is the envy of most other countries, and is a place where women's soccer players get the kind of rightful recognition that is still, sadly, more of a struggle elsewhere. It is the only team, except for the USA, to have topped the FIFA women's rankings.
