The dog days of summer are slowly but surely drawing to a close, but the summer season’s gonna end with a bang before giving way to fall and football.
The 2023 FIFA Women’s World Cup begins early Thursday morning—and I mean E A R L Y Thursday morning thanks to Australia being 15 hours ahead of Central Time—with the tournament co-hosts New Zealand playing Norway at 2:00 a.m. CT, and Australia, the tournament’s other co-hosts, will play Ireland at 5:00 a.m. CT.
The World Cup is going to add a nice bit of juice to an otherwise dull July where there’s nothing but MLB on.
