2023 FIFA WWC: Group Stage With One Game To Go
This Women’s World Cup has been good, but crazy. The main crazy thing is the big time-zone separation between Australian/New Zealand times and the North American times. One good thing is I’m able to see at least five games of Canada or the US playing, or expected to play, during North American prime-time hours. Most of the time, the games will be held while I’m sleeping. In addition, all of the…

2023 Women's World Cup - Group H Focus
Official ball: The Adidas OCEAUNZ Hard to believe this is the last group review! Hard to believe there are eight groups this year. Well, women’s football is growing and I’m confident Australia and New Zealand will do a great combined effort in hosting. Interesting is that the host nation or nations of the 2027 Women’s World Cup have not yet been decided. Placing bids are South Africa, Brazil, a…

2023 Women's World Cup - Group G Focus
Normally when I do my blogs on the Women’s World Cup, I mostly focus on the positive as the excitement builds up. Nevertheless I can’t avoid talking about the negative in women’s football that has happened in the last four years. Women’s football has always been know to be a victim of sexism; always second-fiddle to the men. Nevertheless the last four years has seen a lot more awareness,…

2023 Women's World Cup - Group F Focus
As we’re getting closer to the start of the Women’s World Cup, FIFA already has it as its main feature on its website. There’s a lot of talk of new talent, but there’s also talk that this will be the last WWC for Megan Rapinoe, Christine Sinclair and Marta. That’s normally how it is in sport. Greats eventually retire and new legends are made. Nevertheless it’s exciting to see them play one last…

2023 Women's World Cup: Group E Focus
The funny thing about draws for the World Cups or any other major football event is that it can give you a lot of surprising results. In this very group, we have the two finalists from France 2019! How did that happen? Also in this group, we have two teams making their Women’s World Cup debut. This is the only group with two debut teams. Without further ado, here is my look at Group E of…

2023 Women's World Cup: Group C Focus
It’s something how after eight years, the Women’s World Cup goes from a tournament of 24 teams to a tournament of 32 teams! So how exactly do they split the 32 berths among the continents? Here’s a breakdown: AFC (Asia and Australia): 5 + host Australia CAF (Africa): 4 CONCACAF (North America): 4 CONMEBOL (South America): 3 OFC (Oceania): 0+ host New Zealand UEFA (Europe):…

2023 Women's World Cup: Group B Focus
It’s interesting that this year’s Women’s World Cup is timed well. Normally it would be held in June but summer up in the Northern Hemisphere is winter for the Southern Hemisphere. July and August will be like January and February down under. Nevertheless the weather should still be great for playing. It’s crazy how because of COVID, there were a lot of setbacks in the sports world and football…

2023 Women's World Cup Intro And Group A Focus
Yes, the Women’s World Cup is back for its ninth edition. This is actually the very first Women’s World Cup that the hosting will be between two countries: Australia and New Zealand. This will be quite something as their time zones greatly differ and most of the games will be contested during times most people aren’t used to: early morning in Europe and sleeping hours in North America. This…
