Imagine a scenario where a female CEO was paid less than a male CEO for roles at similar companies. That’s crap, right? They deserve equal pay, right? Absolutely. But is it really the case that lifting one woman’s salary an extra million dollars will solve inequality? The US winning the World Cup was delightful for… Continue reading Football And The Fight For Equality

A goalless first half and heroics from absolute beast Sari van Veenendaal (SVV) weren’t enough to stop a dominant USWNT from claiming a fourth WWC title.  Let me just say it’s been one hell of a ride to get to this final my friends. From the USWNT seemingly pissing off the world by not spilling… Continue reading Women Make America Great Again

Ladies and gentlemen, I finally picked an exciting game to review. It was a risky choice though. Semi finals can sometimes be the most exciting games ever when both teams decide to throw in their all to make it to the final. But other times, it becomes a defensive nightmare because ‘attack wins you games… Continue reading You Can’t Spell English Tears Without Tea

In a game of two very different halves, it was upsetti but gnocch regretti for spaghetti-enthusiasts Italy as their surprising WWC run came to an end at the hands of the Oranges, who twice found the back of the net to ensure we weren’t seeing the back of the Net-herlands just yet in this competition.… Continue reading Netherlands Clog Italy’s Chances Of Progressing

Will the Winner Take it all? (Finally an opportunity for some ABBA puns and a challenge to fit in as many song titles as I can – Challenge accepted!) Would have loved to see Sweden exit the tunnel to the sounds of Arrival. But don’t worry Germany also have a Popp supergroup – a little… Continue reading Sweden Take Their Chances Against Germany

The current Womens World Cup Champions do it all again and show the rest of the world, exactly why that title belongs to them.  This morning, at 5am AEST, I woke up to watch my first game, since the Tilda’s played their last game… “this coulda been us” I thought as I sat there with… Continue reading Reigning Champions Rain On France’s Parade

The fastest goal in this WWC, an England clean sheet and a Norwegian side that just couldn’t score means the Lionesses are one step closer to actually bringing it home. The quarter finals are here and we had a cracking match up of Norway (I know…) v England to kick it off. Both Steph Houghton… Continue reading Lucy And The Lionesses Won’t Accept Bronze

We all know why I woke up at 2am to watch this game. I needed to see Italy get kicked out of the tournament. After the heart-breaking knock out of the Matilda’s, the emotional speech from Marta after Brazil’s loss, no-one from our group was allowed to survive! Plus, I still hold that respective Matildas… Continue reading China Fail To Get Pasta Italy

A nothing first half, a brilliant Hedvig Lindahl penalty save and a fantastic Aussie performance in the centre of the Parc sees the Swedes oot do the Canucks to reach the #FIFAWWC QFs. It was a contest that started out tighter than an Ikea display room. We’ve had some cracking games so far in the… Continue reading Sweden Assemble Into The Quarter Finals

The storm has passed, the rain has finally settled….kinda…we’re still awaiting the sunshine and rainbow to appear… it’ll show up, eventually. The World Cup road has come to an end for the Matildas, and it was one hell of a battle. From the moment of controversy that took place 6 months ago, to yesterday morning…it… Continue reading This Was Everything We Ever Dreamed Of
