So there have been a ton of big moments and crazy games. Canada got knocked out of the tournament by host nation Australia, who beat them 4-0, which, again, is kind of unheard of, Canada coming off an Olympic gold medal just in 2021. Again, Spain has been one of the favorites - I think Colombia beating Germany today, just this morning. Definitely this Japan-Spain result was, I mean, incredible to see. PFEIFFER: And, Sam, of all the games you've watched, what was the most memorable, the most surprising? What are the standout moments for you? And so I'm really looking forward to the game and looking forward to see them come out strong and get through to that next round. So I know there's been so much talk about the team, but I know that this team is a team that really just thrives when the moment is big. I feel like the World Cup is just the moment to respond to pressure, and so I almost expect the most from them when they're under the gun and really have to turn it on and get the win, get the result to overnight tonight. I've been listening to some of my teammates in their press interviews. MEWIS: Yeah, I'm so excited for the team. How are you assessing things for Team U.S.A.? national team will play a final group stage match against Portugal. PFEIFFER: Tonight - or probably, I should say overnight because I think the start time is 3 a.m. Columbia has been another team that has really come out strong and surprised a lot of people with their performances so far. To perform at this level in such a huge tournament with all eyes on you and big pressure - I think it's just a sign of how talented she is and that we should expect big things from her to come. She's a really dangerous attacking player. MEWIS: Yeah, I think she's been incredible to watch. What has her tournament been like so far as you've watched? Quite a story - overcame ovarian cancer at the age of 15. PFEIFFER: A young woman considered one of the rising stars of the tournament - her name is Linda Caicedo. So I think people are starting to talk a lot more about Japan after their performance in this group stage. And to see Japan beat them so decidedly with such incredible counterattacking goals and clinical finishing was really, really impressive. I think coming into this, Spain has been one of the most talked-about teams. My gosh, Japan just is looking so dangerous so far this tournament. What can you tell us about this Japanese team? Earlier today, Japan versus Spain - Japan decisively beat Spain 4-0. She is now sadly sidelined with an injury, but she is covering the World Cup for the Men in Blazers media network. team that won the World Cup four years ago.
