Summary

The Women's World Cup is here, so check in with The Cooligans everyday for the best and funniest coverage of the tournament down under! We're joined by a fellow Meadowlarker to discuss the Women's World Cup semi-finals! Jessica Smetana of LeBatard Show and countless other fantastic podcasts fills in for Alexis to break down Tuesday's incredible matchup between Spain and Sweden, or at least the last 10 minutes of it. She and Christian also look back at La Roja's run to the WWC final and ask if their problems with the Spanish FA might have galvanized the players. Finally, we get Jess' thoughts on the USWNT and predict the outcome of the second semi-final between England and Australia. Let us know who you think will meet Spain in the World Cup final in the comments!
