Ideally, this would be a story about the best saves of the group stage from the group stage of the 2019 World Cup. The field for this eighth run of the women’s tournament is deeper and more talented than ever, and there have already been a number of highlight-worthy stops to match. I would love to use this space to do the thing I have done here before, which is to look at some film of cartoonishly athletic people playing goalkeeper, and talk up the magic in the details of adults mastering a game. As long as we are indulging that daydream, it might have led off with Christiane Endler. The Chilean keeper is a high-profile starter on Champions League contender PSG, and in two games Endler has already earned a Player of the Match award and racked up 11 saves, several of which were spectacular enough to land in Fox Soccer’s social media feed. She helped hold Sweden scoreless until the 83rd minute, brick-walled the USWNT’s Christen Press three times, and played well enough to convince Carli Lloyd to aim for surgical precision on a penalty kick that she then missed wide. My favorite work of Endler’s so far…
