FIFA WWC 2023: Denmark set sights on England after winning World Cup start
A late goal by Amalie Vangsgaard gave Denmark a 1-0 win over China but the Scandinavians know they will have to be a lot more polished when they meet reigning European champions England in their next World Cup Group D game on Friday.
Substitute Vangsgaard entered the fray in the 85th minute and headed home Pernille Harder’s corner five minutes later to secure the win, and Harder said that there…

Comment:
At Australia and NZ's Women's World Cup, a gauche and unethical question framed in a way that put the interviewee and her team at risk legally.
Geneva Abdul
25 July 2023
Extract 1:
“In Morocco it’s illegal to have a gay relationship. Do you have any gay players in your squad, and what’s life like for them in Morocco?” the BBC reporter asked at the post-match media conference in Melbourne.
Extract 2:
Shireen Ahmed, a journalist for CBC Sports, was present at the press conference and said the question was bizarre and out of line. While the question was interrupted by a Fifa media officer, Ahmed said it should not have been asked in the first place.
“This isn’t an issue of journalistic freedom. You can inquire about social laws in different places without endangering people. Journalists have an obligation to be fair, accurate and practise with care. If reporting harms someone, it is not only unethical but dangerous,” said Ahmed.
Steph Yang, a reporter for the Athletic, described the press conference as a “little tense”.
“From a harm reduction perspective, this is not an appropriate question for a player and would have endangered the players themselves,” said Yang.

I didn't spoke yet because I couldn't make a proper drawing.
Anyway, I'm so proud of my national team winning the Women World Cup! After 13 years, my national team won a World Cup again! The girls did a great World Cup and I know they're aware about the impact they have with this! They're a reference for all girls who dreamed to play football (also glad to see boys taking reference of the female team)!
🇪🇦¡VIVA ESPAÑA!🇪🇦
Thank you Spanish Female National Team to make us dream again!

Australia/New Zealand 2023 mascot Tazuni
can you believe all the group stage games of the 2023 FIFA Women’s World Cup have already been played and they’re now into the knockout stage? It went by faster than I thought! Before I give my predictions for the first set of knockout games, I’ll give my overview of the group play.

Extract:
The Professional Footballers Australia co-chief executive Kathryn Gill also condemned the move, saying players were the “public face” of Fifa’s major tournaments, but their voice had been excluded from a decision-making process that would benefit from their involvement.
“Fifa is obliged to respect all internationally recognised human rights and to exert its considerable leverage when they are not being respected or protected. However, they have consistently shown that they lack the willingness to uphold their stated human rights commitments.
“The players’ objective is to make the 2023 Fifa Women’s World Cup a genuine force for good, and they will continue to hold Fifa to account when they undermine this.”
