CAREER-HIGH 45 POINTS AND THE MOST IN FEVER HISTORY FOR CAITLIN CLARK‼️
She's the first player in WNBA history with 40 points and 10 assists in a game 📈
This club makes me sick to my stomach.
We pay Araujo and Stegen €15m every single year, they contribute absolutely NOTHING to the club but we can’t give our best Femeni player whatever she’s asking for.
We are pleased to confirm plans for the UK and Europe's first purpose-built women's football stadium. 🏟️
It will be one of only three such stadiums in the world, putting the club at the forefront of the women's game globally. 🤩💫
Using a miniature camera hidden in his backpack, a Czech football coach recorded 15 women players, the youngest aged 17, showering and changing in locker rooms over a four-year period.
Some players vomited when they found out, some needed to leave the club, and others sought psychological help.
One of them, Kristyna Janku, is speaking out because, despite getting a suspended one-year prison sentence and a five-year ban from coaching in the Czech Republic, Petr Vlachovsky could walk into a coaching job anywhere else in the world.
“If there is a chance to make football safer for women and younger girls, I want to try to do something,” she says. "Don't let him coach again."
