„Es ist auch interessant beim Fußball, es ist immer noch ein Spiel. Stehste da einmal richtig, machst das Tor. Das sind genau diese Momente. Das Glück muss auf deiner Seite sein, da muss einfach so viel zusammenlaufen. [...] Es gibt auch Momente, wo ich sag, ‚Okay, wär vielleicht zu einem anderen Zeitpunkt besser gewesen.' Wenn ich ein bisschen älter gewesen wär, noch ein bisschen mehr Erfahrung. Aber im Nachgang– im Finale zu sein und zu spielen, ich mein, was gibt's Besseres für einen Fußballer?“

World Cup is a chance for women’s football to go mainstream in Brazil

The country’s passion for men’s football is well-known but 2027 could change the dynamics completely

Last month Brazil won the race to host the 2027 Women’s World Cup. The tournament is scheduled to open on 24 June of that year at the Maracanã, the venue for the finals for the 1950 and 2014 men’s editions. The Brazilian Football Confederation (CBF) is confident that hosting it will boost the women’s game in the country, attract new investment and increase public interest.

Brazil’s bid focused on sustainability, with all stadiums already meeting Fifa standards, having been built or renovated for the 2014 men’s World Cup. The organising committee promised free public transport for ticket holders on game days and will arrange official fan festivals, similar to those seen in Australia and New Zealand last year. The bid highlighted the “natural” passion for football in Brazil and emphasised the growth in the women’s game and the benefits for future generations of girls and women.

The CBF expects funding for the event to come from the private sector rather than government sources, addressing one of the major complaints regarding the 2014 men’s World Cup and the 2016 Olympics in Rio de Janeiro. Their goal is to have a self-sustainable tournament, with sponsors and the private sector paying for most of it, rather than relying on taxpayers’ money. Another selling point to Fifa was the low organisational cost compared with the joint bid from Belgium, the Netherlands and Germany.

Unlike the 2014 World Cup, which occurred during a period of political and economic uncertainty, with protests against the event, the 2027 event benefits from having the structure already in place. The benefits could be plentiful. Last year’s co-hosts Australia and New Zealand reported substantial benefits from hosting the tournament, including support for local events and increased participation of women and girls in physical activity.

Wow some people are so stupid to think this & actually agree with this???!! Real Madrid is NOT the best team in the history of football. The Brazil national teams that won five World Cups, the Spain 2008-2012 golden age team that won back to back Euro+World Cup+Euro, the German teams throughout their world cup winning history would all beg to differ that stupid ask statement.

For club level: most professional footballers, pundits, fans that actually watch football, journalists, people who understand the game unanimously agree the best ever team in history is the Barcelona teams with Puyol Iniesta Xavi Messi + Pep as manager 2008 to 2012 team that won everything, the sextuple, won UCL 2009 and 2011. Plus the glorious MSN best forward partnership ever Messi Suarez Neymar 2013 to 2017. Luis Enrique's Barca can be considered one of the best teams of all time too.

Real Madrid did not win UCL for decades, the last time they won was in 2002, they didn't win for twelve years, then Tebas & Madrid started bribing refs, so many offside goals given to rm, VARdrid, they won UCLs 2014, 2016, 2017, 2018, 2022 because of corruption and FIFA's favouritism towards Madrid. I agree Madrid is One of the best teams in history, not THE BEST. They had amazing dominating players Modrid Ramos Bale Benzema Cristiano Kroos Marcelo Casemiro & the best goalkeepers in the world in Navas Casillas Courtouis. It's cause they have money to buy the best players & pay them top salary. Ferguson's United, Mourinho's Chelsea's and now Pep's City are all billion dollar squads because of power & money.

Anyways, just wanna say that people who think RM is the best in history & should be Mbappe's end goal are people who only started watching football for hot players, don't actually understand the game, probably don't even know how the offside rule works✌️

Lionel Messi

Lionel Andrés Messi Cuccittini (Rosario, Argentina, June 24, 1987), known as Leo Messi, is an Argentine soccer player who plays as a striker. Historical player of the Fútbol Club Barcelona, he is currently a free agent after ending his contract with Paris Saint-Germain of Ligue 1 in France. He is also an international with the Argentina team, a team of which he is captain.

Often considered the best player in the world and one of the best of all time,[9] he is the only footballer in history to have won, among other distinctions, seven Ballon d'Or awards, seven FIFA awards for best player of the world, six Golden Boots and two Golden Balls of the Soccer World Cup. In 2020, he became the first soccer player and the first Argentine to receive a Laureus award and was included in the Ballon d'Or Dream Team.

With Barcelona he has won 35 titles, including ten in La Liga, four in the UEFA Champions League and seven in the Copa del Rey.

A prolific scorer, he holds, among others, the records for the most goals in a season, [10] in the same club and in a calendar year. He is also the all-time top scorer for Barcelona and the Argentine team, in La Liga, the Spanish Super Cup, the European Super Cup and the non-European player with the most goals in the UEFA Champions League.

Born and raised in the city of Rosario, at the age of 13 he settled in Spain, where Barcelona agreed to pay for treatment of the hormonal disease he had been diagnosed with as a child. After rapid progression through the Barcelona Youth Academy, he made his official first-team debut in October 2004, aged seventeen. Despite being injury prone early in his career, as early as 2006 he established himself as a pivotal player for the club. His first uninterrupted campaign was the 2008-09 season, in which Barcelona reached the first treble in Spanish football. Due to his style of playing as a small left-handed dribbler, [11] he was soon compared to compatriot Diego Maradona who, in 2007, declared him his "successor".

In 2009, at the age of twenty-two, he won his first Ballon d'Or and the FIFA World Player of the Year award. Three successful seasons followed, in which he won an unprecedented four Ballon d'Ors in a row. His personal best campaign so far is the 2011-12 season, in which he set the record for most goals in a season, both in La Liga and in other European competitions. Over the next two seasons, he too suffered injuries and, in 2014, lost the Ballon d'Or to Cristiano Ronaldo, whom he considers his rival. He returned to his best form during the 2014-15 campaign, in which he surpassed the records for absolute top scorer in La Liga and the Champions League and achieved a historic second treble with Barcelona, as well as winning his fifth Ballon d'Or. winning it for the sixth and seventh time in 2019 and 2021.

As an Argentine international, he has represented his country in fourteen major tournaments. At the youth level, in 2005 he participated with the under-20 team in the South American Cup in Colombia and won the World Cup in the Netherlands, a tournament in which he finished as the best player and top scorer and, with the under-23, received the medal of gold at the 2008 Olympic Games. After making his debut in the senior team in August 2005, at the 2006 World Cup in Germany he became the youngest Argentine to play and score in a World Cup. The following year, in the Copa América, he was named the best young player of the tournament. As captain since August 2011, he reached the finals of the 2014 World Cup in Brazil, the 2015 Copa América and the Copa América Centenario with his team, as well as winning the 2021 Copa América against Brazil at the Maracana and, in 2022, the Finalissima against Italy at Wembley and the World Cup in Qatar against France at the Lusail stadium.

Group B Breakdown

Expected to move on: Australia, Canada

Expected to exit in group stage: Ireland, Nigeria

Australia

FIFA Ranking: 12

Reputation:

As a host country, Australia’s games sold out almost immediately, so they are guaranteed to have a huge support base. Australia have a ton of potential to work with and completely dominate Asia and Oceania, but they have to bring their game up to par with USA and top European teams. The Aussies are inconsistent–they have beat the best teams in the world, and lost to teams ranked beneath them. I expect they will make it out of the group stage, and then it’s a 50/50 odds on winning the next game.

Player Pool:

Australia currently has arguably the best striker in the world, Sam Kerr, who scored five goals in Australia’s four women’s World Cup games in 2019 and leads top England club Chelsea. Several Australian midfielders play in the USA, including Emily Van Egmond and Alex Chidiac, and others play in top leagues and top teams in England and Sweden.  Australia has good depth, as many of their non-headliners play in two leagues–one in the American/European summer, and the second in the Australian summer. 

2019 World Cup  performance:

They were supposed to soar, and I talked them up a ton, but they were completely caught off guard in their first game, leading to an unexpected (but not undeserved) loss to Italy. They had possibly the best game in the cup against Brazil, a wild 3-2 finish that left me on the edge of my seat. Unfortunately, they went up against a tough opponent, Norway, in the first round of group play and were eliminated, but only after penalty kicks. 

Republic of Ireland

FIFA Ranking: 23

Reputation:

This is the Irish  women’s team's first World Cup. They can find success against teams ranked below them and won’t make it easy for Canada and Australia to take the top two group spots.  Ireland’s path to the World Cup is credited in part to coach Vera Pauw, who joined Ireland after coaching professionally in the USA. Ireland also benefits from its proximity to England’s FAWSL, where several Irish players play on lower-level teams. 

Player Pool:

Captain Katie McCabe is a leading scorer and an absolute brick wall for Ireland and for the Arsenal team in England. Her fellow midfielder, Denise O’Sullivan, is captain of the American team North Carolina Courage. Ireland’s strength is in their central midfield with these two players, but against tough competition they will need to rely on veteran defenders Lousie Quinn and Niamh Fahey. 

2019 World Cup Performance:

Did not qualify

Nigeria

FIFA Ranking: 45

Reputation:

Nigeria is one of a few teams that has qualified for all 9 World Cups. Historically they have been as much of a powerhouse as a team from Africa can be. In all 13 African Women’s Championships, they have been champions eleven times, including in 2014, 2016, and 2018. However, in the 2022 AFWCON, they finished fourth, barely qualifying for the World Cup. 

Player Pool: 

Nigeria has two standout forwards, Asisat Oshoala (Barcelona) and Ifeoma Onumonu (Gotham FC), but not much other depth in their team. They will need a strong defense in the games in this group. They might have a slight advantage just on experience, as most of their players will have played in a World Cup before. 

2019 World Cup performance:

Nigeria had a rough draw in the group stage, playing Norway and France, but did succeed in making it past the group stage after a win over South Korea. Their first game in the round of 16 was against Germany, who dominated the game and sent Nigeria packing. 

Canada

FIFA Ranking: 6

Reputation:

Much like a moose, the Canadian Women’s National Team is fierce and strong, but mostly ignored until you come up against them in a fight. They are one of the most physical women’s teams in the world, and have a range of both young and veteran talent. The team has had inconsistent results: they hosted the2015 World Cup and were eliminated in the quarterfinals in a heartbreaking defeat to England, then struggled at the 2019 World Cup, then won the gold medal in the Tokyo 2021 Olympics. The team has been fighting for equal pay and treatment, causing a distraction that could impact their performance. 

Player Pool:

Without a doubt, their most notable player is veteran Christine Sinclair, who holds the record for most international goals scored, male or female.  Jessie Fleming, who is only 24, will have almost a decade of experience under her belt when the World Cup starts, and is a starting midfielder for top club team Chelsea. Fleming and Jordyn Huitema (OL Reign) are two young players for Canada that are hitting their stride and building Canada’s future.

2019 World Cup  performance:

Canada finished second in the group, losing to the Netherlands, then to Sweden in the knockout round. After making it to the semifinals in 2015, it was a disappointing performance. With a new coach and an Olympic gold medal, hopefully 2019 was just a blip.

The weird thing is that in hindsight, we had so many

bad omens saying that this was coming, like that was

some self fulfilling prophecy shit. The way the players were treated by the media, tv hosts invading the training centre with a helicopter to do silly Sunday tv stuff. The jingles with children begging the players to think of them while playing cause they never saw Brazil take a world up home. The entire zeitgeist felt like a tragedy waiting to happen.

this fucking tweet that cursed us back in 2010 saying

"calm down guys everything is going to get better

after the World Cup 2014" is was foreshadowing,

after 2014 the ENTIRE COUNTRY WENT DOWNHILL

then, we had Thiago Silva, the fucking TEAM

CAPTAIN SITTING ON TOP OF THE BALL CRYING

BC HE COULDN'T TAKE THE PRESSURE DURING

THE PENALTIES (the Neymar incident didn't even

happen yet) ANOTHER HUGE FORESHADOWING

after that we had the incident, Neymar gets really

badly hurt, the country is in SHAMBLES. Thiago is

ALSO OUT BECAUSE HE GOT THE 2ND YELLOW

CARD. no one knows what is going to happen, who is

going to replace him? Is he going to play ever again?

WHO IS GONNA BE OUR CAPTAIN?? WHERE IS

OUR LEADERSHIP?? We were feeling like the avengers after thanos’ snap.

SO Bernard Duarte, call sign

"happy legs" enters the

scene. Btw tumblr and twitter had a weird thing

going on with him and David Luiz. Fandom culture

entered Football like I've never seen and ppl started

shipping those two and it would create a mess post

7×1. This was the wonderful time where players were

treated like supernatural characters. Like Bernard is

tiny and everyone was very protective of him like

kpop fans are of their bias, David was huge, one was

a striker the other a defender.... you can tell where

this is going. (Btw I’m not excused from this crime, I was a 14 superwholockian, it was 2014, just check my 2014 to see some incredible evidence of the time’s zeitgeist)

Every sports journalist is begging for Bernard make

the starting 11, the game was going to be held in

Mineirão, where Bernard's team Atlético Mineiro

played who he would be playing

"at home" with the

huge majority of not only Brazil fans, but Atlético

fans. The game was on. He was going to save us all. We could trust him, we was young promising, had just won a major title with atlético and had his big break to European football. THIS was. IT. THIS WAS OUR ENDGAME.

AND OH, DID I TELL YOU GUYS DAVID LUIZ WAS GOING TO BE OUR CAPTAIN???

SO IT IS MATCH DAY, THE PLAYERS COME TO FIELD HOLDING NEYMAR’S JERSEY. IT’s TIME TO PLAY FOR YOUR LIFE. EVERYONE WAS BELIEVING ON A HAIL MARY. BERNARD COMPLETELY OUT OF POSITION, THE TEAM MENTAL STATE IN SHAMBLES, DAVID LUIZ ACTING LIKE A DEFENDER/OFFENSIVE MIDFIELDER BUT FUCK IT RIGHT? WE HAVE THE POWER OF FRIENDSHIP.

and the unthinkable happens. The tragedy. The disaster, the oncoming storm, a train wreck that you just can’t stop starring, the commentators are so flabbergasted they can’t speak. We feel like we are experiencing a fever dream. When it ends, there are no tears, you can’t cry, just stare at the roller thing at the sidebar of the FIFA’s score stat’s thingy at your screen bc they couldn’t fit all German scores in one “box” and the lone honour goal from Oscar. Just silence, silence from the genocide of a nation’s hopes and dreams in short 20 minutes from the “seleção’s shutdown” when Germany scored their first 4 goals.

David is crying, saying he is still going to give happiness to his nation. The internet adopts him, some people call him the main villain. People are grieving. The seleção’s players are radio silence for DAYS until they drop a joint statement saying the still have game left - the 3rd place match against the Netherlands - where we were humiliated again. And the fear of Argentina winning the World Cup at our home??? we had to cheer for GERMANY, WHO PUBLIC HUMILIATED US, WIN THIS THING. The public sentiment about the seleção also changed a lot, a lot felt the the good old days were over and at the current generations, at the the generations to come; with disdain. It is only now, 8 years later, the the general public feels like they can trust and are happy with the seleção’s performance again.

So many expressions and pop culture bloomed from the 7x1. But when it comes to 7x1 veteran’s careers, many of them fell off the radar. David was one of the most criticised for the lost and it was a while before was respected again, but I think we went full circle coming back to Brazil to play for Flamengo. A lot of the not so notorious players just became infamous and their careers never recovered.

In light of brazils first world cup game today I'd like to share with everyone the Germany x Brazil 7-1 semifinals from the 2014 world cup and how morally DEVASTATING it was

You ever do so poorly your coach immediately resigns and the country makes up a new idiom over it

Even our president at the time was like "guys that was so fucked up :("
