A Tongan Kiwi who loves watching women dominate at all that they do. Favourite sport league: NWSL

@denise_duffy I think Canadian women's soccer has been overlooked for many years. Seeing the fanbase and their enthusiasm for the players and the game is great.

[Emteekiwi @MariaTakai]

@denise_duffy And you Americans really do like your oldies. I can easily think of 5 US athletes who I have seen people question the ability of based on their age, or who I have been really surprised to learn the age of. All in the women's game. Your men seem to age out faster for some reason.

[Emteekiwi @MariaTakai]

@denise_duffy A few well matured players might have helped to anchor the team as they started out in the league.
But a young team can bring a great energy to the game and can be a great foundation for following years as they grow in the game together. I guess time will tell 😅

[Emteekiwi @MariaTakai]

@NZ_Football I don't suppose you have a signed @RileyThree, @MeikaylaMoore or @HannahWilkinso1 shirt do you? No offense to Woodsy, but I'm a women's soccer fan 😅

[Emteekiwi @MariaTakai]

@denise_duffy The stand made by both the athletes and the #NWSLPA has been amazing.
It would be nice if the league could stop being reactive, and start being proactive in matters regarding athletes health and safety. Outcry should not be the reason a work environment becomes safe.

[Emteekiwi @MariaTakai]

@nwsl_players @alikrieger This is what it looks like when a players association does what it is meant to do folks. It's a shame that other groups with responsibilities have not held up their end so the PA didn't have to make these statements.
Proper standards and sustainable change please NWSL

[Emteekiwi @MariaTakai]

@denise_duffy I would be a sad woso fan if I didn't support our Kiwi bid into the pro league's. It is past time that our girls had a chance to make a living to make a living in soccer here at home

[Emteekiwi @MariaTakai]

@denise_duffy Yes I'm in. It will be so great to have a pro women's team in NZ. Even if they are playing in Australia 😂

[Emteekiwi @MariaTakai]

@phyllis_brownie @denise_duffy Watching the women play Aussie Rules is awesome. It's a shame they don't show the games here

[Emteekiwi @MariaTakai]

@denise_duffy It is nice to see more women's sports on tv these days.
I must admit I will get in behind any sport that women play...except netball. I think it's because it's always been a women's sport. But strangely, I enjoyed watching the men's team play. I guess I'm contrary 😅

[Emteekiwi @MariaTakai]

@abc13houston The reason this doesn't make sense is simple. Abbott says that they will be aggressive in finding, arresting and prosecuting rapists. But if they need arresting, they have already raped someone...who may be pregnant and want an abortion...which is illegal. Traumatizing much?

[Emteekiwi @MariaTakai]

This 👇 is right on target 😂

[Glennon Doyle @GlennonDoyle]

Congrats to this soccer man for being the first man to hit the list of top ten all time international goal scorers!!! Good job.

[Emteekiwi @MariaTakai]

@1NewsSportNZ While it's great that Cristiano Ronaldo now has the most international goals, that's in the men's game.
The most international goals in the world is a record held by Canadian, Christine Sinclair. She has 187 goals to Christiano's 111

[Emteekiwi @MariaTakai]

@denise_duffy I had the exact same thought!
I guess the term "soon" is a relative term? But since there's talk that some people won't get in before Christmas, I don't think soon is how I would have worded it lol
I do hope it is soon though! Time to get to work for the next WWC 👍

[Emteekiwi @MariaTakai]

@denise_duffy So did this guy wake up and think, "I have no friends to join me but screw it! I think that staying home is a threat to my freedom so I'm going to protest. Even if I have to do it alone!!" And is it actually a protest if one person is yelling like a nutter on their own? 🤔

[Emteekiwi @MariaTakai]

@denise_duffy This tweet brings back bad memories 🤨

[Emteekiwi @MariaTakai]

@denise_duffy While world perception is important, I think that to change them because others don't understand the history, or because they perceive them to be rascist would be wrong.
But I also think that if one of the names is deemed rascist, they must both be deemed rascist and changed.

[Emteekiwi @MariaTakai]

@denise_duffy As a Kiwi, these are the names the teams have had longer than I've been alive and any racial connotations are just not present for me. Maybe because the original All Blacks team were all white men over a hundred years ago who wore an all black uniform?

[Emteekiwi @MariaTakai]

@denise_duffy @iccwomen I had a migraine today and slept the day away. I have to try and find footage online though because it looks like I missed some great game time

[Emteekiwi @MariaTakai]

@AtlantaDream @emoryhealthcare I'm not sure when pregnancy and suspension become a part of a team injury report 🤔😂
