Owns too many beanies. Writes a lot. Talks too much about soccer according to my mum. Digital editor @themercurycomau

I have a lot of thoughts on youth football. But my biggest one is on ways to keep girls in the game for the long run.

If statistics are to be believed, Kennedy is on for a hat trick tonight. Just saying.

If a host country of the World Cup cannot guarantee the safety of the participants, they should not host the World Cup. @FIFAcom

For those who ain’t plugged into Argentina twitter (and the rest of the social media ecosystem)

They aren’t just dragging messi, argentines are fully cursing him to hell and rejecting any desire to win another World Cup with him as captain

I have never seen anything like it

why is it always concussions???? who has the voodoo doll????

This is one of those images that will go down in history.

I hope these women are safe when they return home, or are allowed to stay here if they want or need to after their tournament finishes.

[Kieran Yap @KaptinYap]

This.

Plus, the World Cup ticketing was set by the organisers. The focus was on full stadiums and affordable pricing. So people could easily convince friends and family to tag along, or curious fans would take a chance.

Asian Cup is handled by Ticketmaster and dynamic pricing.

[Kieran Yap @KaptinYap]

I feel for the Iran women’s national team. It must be so hard for them to think about the tournament right now

[Molly Appleton @mollyappleton93]

@KaptinYap Me too!

Incredible.

If you start watching the replay of our ALW match against Sydney at 36 seconds past 10.24pm , we'll go 7-0 up on the stroke of midnight (assuming you skip halftime).

Ring the New Year in the right way.

Has anyone told the Mariners it’s not first goal wins?

[Molly Appleton @mollyappleton93]

Germany beating France was such a vibe. Take out the grand final with England getting a trophy — and that’s the best thing I watched this year 100%

Noice.

[Manchester United Women @ManUtdWomen]

You never saw it coming 😉

Give a warm United welcome to Lea Schuller! ✍️🇩🇪

[Molly Appleton @mollyappleton93]

Did they only watch the Euros final??? Great game, but there’s other players from other places well deserving of making the cut.

Captain of club takes year off as is allowed for under new policy. Has baby. Sacked 120-odd days later.

As if the idea of returning to work isn’t difficult enough for mums of young babies. Where’s the chance to try to show they’re up to the level again? I can’t even 🤯

Wonderful news as the Palestine women’s national football team are through to the West Asia Championship final after winning on penalties against Saudi Arabia.

Massive!
