Incidentally I see that the Aussie women's team are referred to as "The Matildas" so it is great to see such good progress away from the chauvanistic days of "Sheilas".

But they'll no doubt be better than their male counterparts when it comes to sweeping it under the carpet!

Why did she hold the ball in the first place?!

I for one think it's sickening that this tournament is even being held. Why aren't these women at home cooking, cleaning and looking after children?
