Am I the only one excited?
I know everyone is excited to see our favourite evil corporation having it's upper management finally put through the ringer, but for many of us, it's our sausauge as John Oliver would say and this year sees the 2015 Womens World Cup taking place in Canada.
Personally I love the Womens game, some times more so than the Mens and yet the womens game is always a more muted affair with nowhere near the draw of the mens game.
The women don't have the same stength or power of the men it's true but what they lack there they certainly make up for it with a more no bullshit approach to the game. Japan won the last World Cup not by being bigger, faster or stronger than their opponents (hint, they were the opposite) but instead by simply being better at the fundamentals of the game. They played a tighter game that relied on simply principles; keep control of the ball, always have or provide options, never get caught out in possession and move the ball around with crisp and accurate passing. It was great to watch.
Perhaps best of all; more Football (Soccer for some of you) and less bullshit as diving and hitting the crowd like a sack of shit wailing like the world is coming to an end has yet to infect the womens game to anywhere near the same degree as the mens. Just get in there and play the game.
So yes with that said, I am really excited to see another Womens World Cup.
Also in case you missed it, here's some highlights of the action and drama provided by the last World Cup as the US first came back twice to send Brazil out of the competition before Japan performed exactly the same feat against the US in the Grand Final.
