I really enjoy international women’s football because it punishes countries with high gender inequality more than anything the UN could ever do.
The Ivory Coast’s 10-0 drubbing at the hands of Germany is a classic example.
It is interesting though that whenever I asked anyone whether they had “seen the world cup?” the response was usually “oh the women’s football?”. In fairness, most of them had seen it. And why not? England did brilliantly! We should really look at this as our best opportunity to win a trophy.
We were (as an Englishman, and a supporter, I’m part of the team of course) unlucky to have lost to Japan and could easily have been in the final. That showed with our first ever victory over Germany – 21st time lucky!
