I don’t care how much you spent on glitter at the reject shop, the girls don’t owe you anything
The amount of signs begging for kits is wild to me #matildas #AUSvTPE

- Emma Hayes will leave Chelsea at the end of the WSL season, heavily rumoured to be joining the USWNT
- Wanderers v Canberra to be played in Sydney due to the Bathurst pitch not being ready
- WSW give debuts to two different 14 year olds in the last two rounds
WSW come on you’re better than this. I know west Sydney is a hot bed of young talent, but this wreaks you don’t have a deep enough squad to play at this level. 14 year olds are kids. They shouldn’t be playing at this level – on the rare chance it’s an exception – not weekly debut https://t.co/kPjB2Vep7o

By all accounts she’s a prodigy, but I’m not sure this is ideal for player or club to be breaking this record two games in a row. https://t.co/yhNdcvfFr5

Around the World
UEFA Women’s Nations League (click here for standings and an explanation of the tournament structure, you’ll need it)
there’s an insane situation unfolding with Team GB rn. if Scotland beat England to qualify for the Olympics, none of them will actually go because Team GB is represented by the highest-ranked team (ENG). so the best chance Scots have of going to Paris will be letting England win. https://t.co/C5Ba51wkVp
