#FIFAWWC2019 Gallery, 7 June – 7 July 2019

She Kicks opens its France 2019 review with a photographic look back over the four weeks of the tournament, running from the first match on 7 June to the final on 7 July. The spread is deliberately a mixture rather than a narrative: a celebration in the green and gold of Australia, a goal being turned in against China, a raised-arms salute in front of a packed stand, a delighted Brazilian pointing to her shirt badge, and a full squad photograph of Italy piled together on the turf after a win. There are no captions anywhere on the pages, the pictures credited to PA Images and signed off with the line ‘remember the good times’, alongside a note that Soccer Mindset Academy supported the magazine’s coverage. The section is headed with the line that frames the whole issue: a star dared to shine.
