so oz's PM suggested a public holiday should the Matildas win the World Cup. And the island exploded! Costings, warnings of societal collapse, arguments about women being able to kick a ball, it's been full on! Suddenly-experts sharing their wisdom about women's sport, women in sport, should women play sport? where are the children? who's cooking dinner? those dishes wont wash themselves yknow! oc the Tillies are all lesssbians yknow (no, i dont know any of these things..i only learnt the names of the players yesterday)

the Matildas didnt win. However what they did do was become oz's first team to reach the semifinals of the (football/soccer) World Cup
Some words from Aunty ABC about this, with explanations of various facets of the game at which we are suddenly experts.

the Matildas next play Sweden in Brisvegas/Meanjin on Saturday (19th day of August)
here's a nice song about the brown snake (Brisbane River) https://youtu.be/zbL5Rd7hNao

Well done, England, great game!
