Women forming their own culture club
It’s a World Cup like any other. England are convinced this is their year, home nation France are many people’s favourites, Ireland aren’t there after a hard-luck story, and Nigeria are in dispute over bonuses.All the matches are on free-to-air TV — RTÉ, TG4, BBC. Wallcharts are knocking around. And there are prediction competitions, features on players to watch, golden boot contenders, best kits, value bets. This World Cup even has a Roy Keane figure. The best player in the world, sitting at home, not playing for her country because of standards.In another sense, it’s the idealised World Cup of our childhoods, the kind of exotic tournament we pine for, before we’d become too familiar with the players and there were no surprises. Before we knew the Peruvian striker as a lad who couldn’t get his game for Watford.Yet, Republic of Ireland international and RTÉ pundit Stephanie Roche fears the Women’s World Cup, which began last … [Read more...] about Women forming their own culture club
Women’s World Cup runs a manipulative game of pay inequity
opinion The Editorial Board USA TODAY Published 7:58 PM EDT Jun 6, 2019 The Women’s World Cup has come a long way since its first edition in China 28 years ago. Ticket sales, nominal then, have surged. The same is true of global television audiences. For the women of Team USA, the tournament that begins Friday offers a chance to strut. The reigning champs are the favorite in betting markets. Among their notables are Carli Lloyd, the attacking midfielder who launched a three-goal romp in the 2015 finals before many viewers had a chance to put out the guacamole bowl. There’s also Alex Morgan, a clinical striker who recently notched her 100th goal, and Julie Ertz, a midfielder who dictates tempo and is married to some guy who plays tight end for the Philadelphia Eagles. But for all its thrills, the Women’s World Cup is also one giant, frustrating, grossly unfair, maddeningly manipulative engine of pay inequity. As soccer fans know, the women’s … [Read more...] about Women’s World Cup runs a manipulative game of pay inequity
For Lyon boss, women’s football has been a good investment
Women's football is a bet that's paying off for French club Lyon and their president Jean-Michel Aulas. Lyon's women's team can win a fourth consecutive Champions League title when they face Barcelona in the final in Budapest on Saturday. As many as eight members of that team will be in the France squad in June and July when the country hosts the women's World Cup. If they reach the late stages those players will be even more at home because the semi-finals and final will be played at Lyon's Groupama Stadium. "We are in a virtuous circle with an audience that will come and watch," Aulas told AFP. Aulas, an outspoken figure in French football for decades, said French women's football had benefitted from investment at first Montpellier and later Paris Saint-Germain, Bordeaux and Lyon, where his club took over a struggling women's team in the city in 2004. "At a European level, we have probably provoked the desire in all the big clubs to be able to do the same thing, either by buying a … [Read more...] about For Lyon boss, women’s football has been a good investment
