all squads information you can find over here :)


the managers of the competing nations

also fun facts for Brazil

this will be Marta's 6th World Cup appearance


:eek:


she's basically the female ''romario'' ''ronaldinho'' ''pele''


a football legend, all time goalscorer of a women's world cup too with 17 goals in all appearances so far

throwback time, one of the most iconic women's world cup finals to date, 1999 USA on home soil vs China



and it was that same year that superstar Mia Hamm that time of TeamUSA had a gatorade commercial with legends such as Michael Jordan, Peyton Manning, Mark Martin, a big moment for women's soccer in the US

Australia women want equal pay from FIFA

This isn't really a complex debate imo. Men's football generates 99% of the money in football compared to women's. It's a no brainer.

Yes … money matters ..



End of …

I read that Australia women are doing pretty well for ticket sales, but New Zealand can't give them away.

fifa had to blackmail tv companies to get them to fork up the cash for tv rights. It very nearly wasn't going to be broadcast in the UK

no doubt Ian Wright will be there pretending to be interested whilst making easy money and that god-awful Geordie woman from Im a celeb who they put on mens football panels as some sort of affirmative action bolloxio

Well from what I can see the England Lionesses are well supported but drop down to league level and there’s just not as much interest ( aside from the top teams )

Women’s Super League stats

Overall, average crowds in the WSL stand at 6,961 for the season up to January 21, 2023,

Gabby Logan and Alex Scott are the main BBC host. So yeah, no thanks.

The guy NAILS it. Old video, but very apt.

Alex Scott

We can agree on this for sure ..

Said it before, say it again, Gabby Logan was passing through the town i live in when she was doing Stictly. She demanded this HUGE whole sport and swimming centre close for her to train for a few hours, even though she was offered a private hall that was shut off to the public.

So she's worse than Scott imo.

But both are insufferable, yes.

2023 Women's World Cup (Hosts Australia, New Zealand) starts July 20th

England women’s pay talks put on hold until AFTER the World Cup ..

The women are demanding more whilst the FA say that their 300% increases since the last World Cup is enough ..

starts today


New Zealand vs Norway is the first game, starting in 9 minutes from now

https://www.eurosport.com/football/w...e-lineup.shtml

line ups and formations in this link

15 degrees right now, understandable as its winter

where we will never see Norway in a men's world cup or euro cup

they are quite a dangerous outsider over here, almost same as Sweden

now LIVE on BBC1


next game is on ITV, which is Australia vs Ireland

Is there a team who plays attractive football ??

Brazil or Spain maybe ??


Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

Germany perhaps


yes Spain too maybe, with all of its Barca stars



Brazil is pure joy to see Marta in action, almost same in men's football with CR7

first chance of the game was for New Zealand, but proper defending by norwegians
