It’s a busy year ahead for women’s football. Here are the highlights to look out for in 2019:
England’s second World Cup qualifier of the week came with a trip away to Bosnia & Herzegovina.
The first tournament of note this year for the international youth levels took place over the last 10 days. The U17 Elite Round began as 28 European teams vied for the chance to reach this May’s European Championships.
One of our favourite weeks in the international calendar got underway last night in a stormy Columbus, Ohio.
There was a flurry of activity during international week with January camps taking place at all levels in the warmth of Spain and Portugal.
From reading the reaction to the announcement last night that Phil Neville has been named the new England women’s Head Coach, we know we are not the only ones who feel a bit sceptical about this appointment.
We’ve been keeping our counsel on everything that has happened with England over the last three weeks. We still have so many questions and not many answers. As a result we have found it hard to form full opinions until we know all the facts . One thing we do know is we desperately need the truth for the sake of the game we love.
The emotions of football are extreme! One day you can be enjoying the greatest high the next you’re hitting the lowest of lows. It is this vicious circle that makes the sport as addictive as it is and so enjoyable to watch.
