RobinRobin 9247 Posted July 20, 2023 Share Posted July 20, 2023 Starts today in NZ and OZ. Anyone interested (other than MF for obvious reasons)? At the risk of being called a pervert by Gemma, I will try to watch Australia and England at least. https://www.fifa.com/fifaplus/en/tournaments/womens/womensworldcup/australia-new-zealand2023 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sammynb 2929 Posted July 20, 2023 Share Posted July 20, 2023 First game kicks off in Auckland in a few hours and the whole place went into lock down because some mad cunt took his shotgun out and started shooting people. Three dead including the gunman. FFS the world atm. I'm going to three games, two France games and Germany v Colombia, hopefully they are decent. Not sure the Matlida's PR stunt on equal prize money was the right thing to do because obviously the sponsorship of the WWC isn't at the level of the men's, especially when they protested the Saudi money out of the competition. They probably should worry about doing more on the pitch first. Bookies have USA as favourites, not so sure about that. Canadian team (33-1) has to be the dark horse seeing they won the last Olympics. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toonotl 2431 Posted July 20, 2023 Share Posted July 20, 2023 We've got tickets for a game in Brissy in a week or so. Should be good fun to take the kids along. Expecting it to be better quality than the A-League. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll be watching the Matilda's matches. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RobinRobin 9247 Posted August 1, 2023 Author Share Posted August 1, 2023 Luke who's got something to say about something else he doesn't understand (Link) SHARED'Kerr injury was enough to keep things secret' Canada v Australia (11:00 BST) Luke Edwards Daily Telegraph writer on the Football Daily podcast If I'm a centre-back and Sam Kerr is playing on one leg then maybe I'd fancy my chances against her. I just don't know how fit she will be - I've never heard of a calf injury that takes just a week to heal. It was serious enough for the Australia camp to keep everything secret, and she missed the start of the open training session [before this game].
