Women's Football: General Discussions

The Cruyff Turn

I was at the match with a few players in my women’s team.

Massive crowd almost 75,000 and it was very noisy and exciting. I thought pre match Japan would cruise it as they play a really quick tidy close touch passing style and absolutely dusted Korea in the semi. What a great strike to take the lead and I though oh no this could be bad.

The last 20 saw the Aussies pile on the pressure and the crowd was going nuts for an equaliser. The crowd was female dominant and plenty of children and therefore screaming. Cover my ears. It’s not a Kop level of knowledge either.

And the all women tv panel are always to nice and never make the hard comments…need Roy Kent from Ted Lasso.

But a terrific night, great to to see the women’s game grow as the Matilda’s really do have a high profile in Australia.

I am a big advocate of women’s football around the world especially Asian and Africa when it is usually men in sports who who get all the plaudits.

Congratulations to Pakistan’s women’s team who have been trying for 16 years and against stupid patriachial bigotry to get into the FIFA rankings.

We got into the Asia Cup this year. But the likes of China, Uzbekistan were too much for us.

This is just like Musk sending out messages to lay off the workers. Cowardly behaviour and afraid to face the workers, in this case, the footballers.

Saw these 2 goals from Switzerland and Malta. Absolute bangers.
