I've just watched Australia vs Norway which went to extra time and penalties after watching Germany vs Nigeria earlier. Som "men" has made a big thing about "not watching" the games. Well it's their loss. There is a lot of skill, some very nift touches, great goals, no acting like three year old spoilt brats, and the games are a joy to watch.
I think I've watched more of the Women's World Cup than I did of the men's. We are flooded with football but the women's game gives the impression of people playing for the joy of playing, not chasing a wage packet. And to be quite honest it's a slap on the arse for the misogynists.
Possibly the refereeing is not as polished as the playing, and also because women are generally smaller physically than men the pitches seem much bigger, but the games they give us are excellent, and that's what people come to watch.
The hard work, togetherness and pure joy that they generate is something truly to be savoured.
So what do we choose for music.
It has to be a girl band or singer. So I have gone with the gorgeous "Dark Therapy" by Echobelly who's female members included on vocals Sonya Madan, Debbie Smith on guitar and Ruth Owen on bass. An incredible song from a great band.
If you haven't watched any of the Women's World Cup, start now. You will be impressed.
