- If you live in any of these countries, you can watch the U-17 Women’s World Cup live and for free via
Fifa.com TV. I believe that Eurosport will be airing the matches, otherwise your best bet is the daily video highlights at the Fifa website. - The host nation of the U-17 Women’s World Cup, New Zealand, today narrowly lost to Canada in the tournament’s opening match.
- Scotland narrowly lost to Russia in the first leg of their Euro 2009 qualifying play-off (The Scotsman’s report of the play-off, I note, is as replete with understated fatalism as any match report concerning the men’s team). The Republic of Ireland, however, drew 1-1 with Iceland — a nation ranked 10 places higher than Ireland.
- FourFourTwo Australia is running a series of fan blogs for clubs in the Australian national leagues: Fiona Crawford blogs on Queensland Roar’s debut match in the W-League.
- Sydney FC currently sits on top of the W-League on goal difference. Sports traditionalists in Australia are eyeing the growth of football with considerable skepticism, so here’s to the women proving doubters wrong.
