Yeah! She won him with authority, with uncertainty, with suspense, as Colombia has to do with everything in women’s soccer. She won it because she deserved it from start to finish, because she searched for it with passion and intelligence, with certainty and ambition, because she believed until she left her soul on the field. She earned it well.
