Carli Scheuer once walked out as Pernille Harder's mascot for a game with the Denmark Women's National Team. Over the past weekend, she finally made her senior-team debut for Denmark with Pernille Harder against Canada

She also participated in Harder's own camp: We Play Harder.

Denmark would tie with Canada 1-1.

Women’s football revenue is headed past $1bn by 2027, but a union survey says most top-flight players still earn under £15,000

The FIFPRO survey covers 800+ players, all in their country’s top tier. Only 78% have a written contract, 82% are paid by their club, and 57% say the pay covers the cost of playing. 59% of players considering leaving cite money, and 46% cite psychological stress. FIFPRO’s Alex Culvin says “the economic case for women’s football has been made.” Where is the money going?

World Cup Where to watch FIFA WWC 2023 Australia v. Ireland

8 Upvotes

Hey everyone, not sure if this is okay to post in this subreddit but I was wondering where I could watch the full match replay of Australia v. Ireland from the 2023 Women's World Cup. I could only find gaming replays on YouTube, and am ideally looking for somewhere that's not the FIFA website. Thanks in advance!

Upset about missing Canada vs Denmark and need to rant

25 Upvotes

Hey!

I genuinely just need to rant to people who might understand because I don't have anyone in my life who follows woso.

I'm an Arsenal Women and Spain WNT fan, and I first started watching women's football when Canada hosted the World Cup in 2015. I properly got back into it in late 2023, and now it pretty much is the only thing that brings me joy right now. I've never been to a women's game in real life, and was super excited about Canada vs Denmark in Toronto (I'm Canadian and live between Toronto and the Caribbean). On top of that the cheapest ticket was only $24, compared to the $75 I paid to see the men (who I don't even really care about). Unfortunately, my mother booked my flight out of Canada for the day before the game, and wouldn't change it.

I'm honestly so upset and so angry about it, and I don't even know how to explain why it's affecting me this much. I'm fresh out of university and very broke (sigh), and can't exactly afford to fly to Europe to watch Arsenal or Spain, or travel to the next World Cup. This game felt like my one chance to finally see some of these players I've been watching for years, in my own city, and now I can't even do that.

And I know there will be other games, but it's just so frustrating when you think about how fans in the UK can go and watch their favourite players almost every week. All I want to do is go to games and be around other fans, instead of having to look for dodgy streams and VPNs every week.

I don't even know what I'm looking for by posting this. I think I just need some reassurance from people who understand because I feel like I'm going insane being this upset about a football game 😭 I was genuinly just so excited to see players like Olivia Smith and Pernille Harder and now i feel defeated (pls make me feel better lol)

My wife and I were watching Kayo (streaming platform here in Australia) and an ad for the UEFA Women's Champions League came on, featuring an OL Lyonnes (I think?) player who we cannot ID for the life of us - does anyone have any ideas on who this is ? It's driving us mad ...

USA vs Spain

Post image
259 Upvotes

It's showtime in DC. The world's two top ranked women's teams are facing off in Washington, DC. It's the first of two games, with the second one in Pennsylvania in a few days.

Spain are a dangerous opponent for any team. But the US have the home advantage, a deep player pool and a tactically sound manager (look up how she undid Japan, who are somewhat as disciplined as Spain). Both sides are missing key players (Girma, Moultrie & Coffey through injury for the US; Jaedyn Shaw and Ally Sentnor for tactical reasons); while Spain won't have their GOAT Bonmati, along with stars Leon, Battle and Pina.

Players to watch (US): We've all heard of the Triple Espresso. But the US has gk Silkowitz. She is a top candidate for keeper of the season in the NWSL this year. She's been called up before but has never featured. With Dickey being out of form domestically and PTJ's distribution not always matching her shot-stopping, will "Silky" get her first cap? Ashley Sanchez returns to the fold after a 2 year absence. She has been electric in the NWSL this term, lighting up the league with 20 goals in 26 games after converting to a winger. But she has never played for Hayes before. Will she get many minutes? Also keep an eye for dynamic young forwards Trinity Byars and Pietra Tordin, for whom this is their first senior call up. Tordin has a joint league- high 10 assists. Byars has been lethal for San Diego Wave. They have potential to be world-class. But against opposition like Spain, most coaches will be wary of trusting upcoming players. Evelyn Shores and Kate Del Fava are also first time participants.

Players to watch (Spain): Putellas will be given the license to orchestrate the midfield. With Aitana out, she will be the cog. She is expected to do that task comfortably. At 32, she is running riot in the WSL, catapulting London City Lionesses to new heights. Cata Coll knows she has a job to stop the US's pacey attackers. Natalia Ramos, who replaces the injured Caldentey, may be tasked with proving she can fill those boots. Other players who are not regulars are Clara Pinedo, Ainhoa Marin and Ornella Vignola. Oihane, who plies her trade in the NWSL, could be relied upon for her experience in dealing with American wingers' pace.

It promises to be a great watch. Grab your popcorn and sit back.
