The heat and injuries started to get to people. The US is having to depend on Megan Repinoe because Alex Morgan is at 100%. They have to keep enough healthy people to put a side on the pitch.
More people need to see if a cricket break would help them with their tennis game. Again the women are playing the game while the men are posing.
]]>But Ash Barty certainly was on her game! From #325 in 2016, #17 in 2017, and now World #1! That’s astonishing by any standard. And well deserved. π
]]>Sam Kerr is one of, if not the best in the world. The Matildas are simply a better team than the Socceroos. It’s not accidental that they are promoting a signed Matilda’s jersey on the Socceroo’s web site.
My guess is that the women’s sports programs spend more time on the fundamentals, i.e. the coaches really teach the basic skills. On the Men’s side it looks like a lot of assumed knowledge, that the new kids already know about the basic skills. I think there are too many guys who spent too much time trying to put spin on the ball like Beckham, and not enough time learning to pass and dribble. Women tend to be team players, while most guys want to be “stars”.

The Women have even managed to put AU cricket in the news again. Whilst the men fail miserably. AU Women are topping the ICC rankings & are doing well. Same for AFL Football, Soccer, Basketball... etc.

I'm hoping Sophie Molineux will be fit to play in the Ashes in July. She underwent surgery for her right shoulder after severely dislocating it in March. That happened to me in Baseball as a teen long ago. It's not fun! Anyway, seems her fitness training is going well & is on track. It's not her bowling that will be the problem, but the fielding! Especially as the women put in 100% and will dive hard to catch the ball! She's damned tough & determined!
]]>Of course, the misogynist menfolk running sports in AU are peeved because many Aussies are doing the same as I, so their prissy men sporting events revenues are declining & women’s are increasing. As with everything in this World, it’s always about the $$$$$ & the manly feelings! Awwww… πΏπ€¬
