What you need to know ahead of the 2023 Women바카라 게임 웹사이트�s World Cup

Hi, I'm Sonia and I'm *** sports reporter at the Independent and I'm here to answer your questions about the women's football World Cup. The first question is who cares about the women's football? It's slow, boring and lacks technical skills. And I would say that all of that is pretty wrong. Women's football has grown massively over the last few years, England has *** fully professional league and their team just won the last Euros in front of *** sell out Wembley in 2019, the women's football World Cup according to the BBC was watched by 22.2 million viewers, whereas the 2015 1 was just 12.4 that shows the audience has almost doubled in that time. This World Cup is due to be the biggest one yet. So I think everyone is pretty excited about it and those views about women's football are very outdated. R asked are England likely to do well with all the injuries. Now, England have three main injuries, Lea Williamson, Beth Mead and Frank Kirby who will all be absent from the tournament. There are also question marks over the fitness of Mie Bright. Unfortunately, the injuries really have dented England's chances. These are three players who were so important during their Euro success, including the captain Lea Williamson. So it'll be very interesting to see how England do, but unfortunately, it definitely has dented their chances. One of you has asked Leah Williamson AC L surely something can be done to reduce AC LS in women's football as it's actually as common as catching *** cold. Now, AC L is your anterior cruciate ligament on the inside of your knee. It's really important for holding all the muscles and stuff together and *** bad injury and *** tear in it can cause you to be out for nine months is *** massive problem and there hasn't been enough research into why it happens to women's sports players. All the research has been mostly male focused and it's *** much more common injury for women and no one quite understands why there are now women's football boots in an attempt to try and solve the problem, but basically more research is needed and it's very under looked at who are the stars to look out for. Although England's main stars, Frank Kirby Liam Williamson and Beth Mead are unfortunately injured, so won't be at the tournament. That doesn't mean there's less you just might have to watch other games other than England to find out who they are. So Australia in their home tournament are led by Sam Kerr who's an amazing striker playing for Chelsea, who celebrates with some amazing backflips. There's Alexa Paella, she plays for Spain who wasn't at the last Euros and she is one of the best players in the world. Holds the ballon door and everyone will be really excited to see what she can do on the top international stage. Also, Megan Rapino doesn't really need an introduction. She's sort of taken the world by storm hairstyles celebrations, everything and this will probably be her last World Cup. Is there *** fantasy football game of any description for the women's World Cup? And there is, there are, there's the official one which is played every day, but it's only *** team of seven and there's ***, she plays one which is your more traditional style of fantasy football. For those of you who like getting involved in that someone has asked football friends, where can I watch the women's World Cup? Now, the women's World Cup 64 games are going to be shown across BBC and ITV. Some of the games, unfortunately, for those of us in Europe are at like three o'clock in the morning, but England's games are at 10, 39 30 12 in the group stages. So you can definitely watch all of those even if it's *** bit of an early start. Thank you for asking your questions about the Women's World Cup. You can get more episodes if you ask questions at independent TV.
