The USWNT is into the knockout rounds of the World Cup! On the backs of two victories, one over Thailand and a 3-0 victory on Chile, the US stands top of the group, ready for the tests of the coming rounds. With a mere draw against Sweden, the US will advance, first of the four in the group, though they will surely test themselves against the Swedes. However, the US has not merely advanced thus far. They have done so in astonishing fashion, sweeping aside their challengers in an overwhelming manner. To help explain what happened in the most recent mind-bending outing, I have employed the help of three of France’s most prominent thinkers to explain the wonder that was the US against Chile.
