I have a lot of thoughts on youth football. But my biggest one is on ways to keep girls in the game for the long run. mollysfootyrants.com/2021/09…

I’ve never ever had a problem with her being in squads and still apart of mjr tournaments, we should keep taking her but she’s overstayed her welcome in the starting xi by 5 yrs and that’s the problem. KCC/ Wheeler should not be sat on the bench.
Okay on a serious note, I don’t disagree with some of the things said in this clip but starting her over some talent on the bench makes no sense. without a doubt she should be celebrated for the 170 but…

If statistics are to be believed, Kennedy is on for a hat trick tonight. Just saying.

If a host country of the World Cup cannot guarantee the safety of the participants, they should not host the World Cup. @FIFAcom

For those who ain’t plugged into Argentina twitter (and the rest of the social media ecosystem) They aren’t just dragging messi, argentines are fully cursing him to hell and rejecting any desire to win another World Cup with him as captain I have never seen anything like it

This is one of those images that will go down in history. I hope these women are safe when they return home, or are allowed to stay here if they want or need to after their tournament finishes.
INCREDIBLE: IRAN’S WOMEN NATIONAL TEAM IS SILENT DURING ANTHEM BEFORE ASIAN CUP MATCH Arriving at the tournament in Australia days before American & Israeli air strikes hit Tehran & killed Iran’s supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, the team decline to sing the regime's anthem

This. Plus, the World Cup ticketing was set by the organisers. The focus was on full stadiums and affordable pricing. So people could easily convince friends and family to tag along, or curious fans would take a chance. Asian Cup is handled by Ticketmaster and dynamic pricing.

I feel for the Iran women’s national team. It must be so hard for them to think about the tournament right now

Incredible.
If you start watching the replay of our ALW match against Sydney at 36 seconds past 10.24pm , we'll go 7-0 up on the stroke of midnight (assuming you skip halftime). Ring the New Year in the right way.

Germany beating France was such a vibe. Take out the grand final with England getting a trophy — and that’s the best thing I watched this year 100%
Some 2025 highlights: Nix 7-0 Spurs 1-0 MU Furphy's goal on debut Miedema's 100th goal Switzerland 2-0 Iceland Germany beating France Perth v Victory for Casey's 150th Newbon's assist and Bunge's goal v Adelaide Euro 2025 The W Club Izzy's Matildas debut CCM 3-3 Victory

Did they only watch the Euros final??? Great game, but there’s other players from other places well deserving of making the cut.

Captain of club takes year off as is allowed for under new policy. Has baby. Sacked 120-odd days later. As if the idea of returning to work isn’t difficult enough for mums of young babies. Where’s the chance to try to show they’re up to the level again? I can’t even 🤯

I’ll happily cross the line for a Foord Sydney jersey. But also, what an idea. Would send me broke but I’m in.
Sincerely imploring clubs to make and sell retro kits of current Matildas for the Asian Cup. Perth Glory Kerr kits, Raso roar ones Sayer Canberra I want the Victory options of Kyra in 10 or 7. I’ll even buy a City kit for a Catley one I won’t cross that line for Sydney FC

WSL players this season:
Just have to say 12 o'clock kick off is no good for players. Trying to force pasta down at 9 in the morning is not nice.
