    Yes, there IS a women's World Cup.

    1. That time your gender was indistinguishable.

    2. That time you thought you developed a serious chronic illness during fitness.

    3. And your coach was not sympathetic AT ALL.

    4. That time you actually had to wear pink on Wednesday.

    5. The time you tried to walk up stairs after two-a-day practice.

    6. The times you needed to pee at least seven times before your sporting event.

    7. That time you forgot to wash your uniform.

    8. "Come on people, I don't smell THAT bad."

    9. That time someone actually yanked your ponytail.

    13. The time you forgot your entire sports bag.

    14. That time picking jersey numbers got really competitive.

    15. That time your car smelled permanently like sweaty feet and shin guards…

    16. ... because you're constantly changing in your car.
