The Women’s World Cup’s newest goal celebration is delayed gratification.
The latest player to join the club was Stefanie van der Gragt of the Netherlands, who scored her team’s only goal in a 1-0 victory against Portugal on Sunday, had it ruled out immediately for offside and then, three long minutes later, had it reinstated after a video review.
“It’s always difficult to wait,” van der Gragt said. “But it doesn’t matter: We win, and that’s what is important.”
