I see your point, but I still disagree. Coffey as one of the best of the world didn’t take much from the fact that she is a much better player than Blindkilde. Importantly, let us not forget that most of the teams in WSL are average to below average. Us being in this position is attributable to...

I understand, and disagree. In my opinion, the team improved significantly when Blindkilde was sidelined and Coffey became the starter. The reasons, again in my opinion, were: Hasegawa went back to play her own game, and Coffey is a much better player than Blindkilde. I don’t think we can...

Some may think she was less than her normal very high standards, but for a big part of the season she was running around to cover for the shortcomings and inadequacies of Blindkilde. She actually made Blindkilde look better than what she actually is, and that was a great achievement by itself...

I would swap Fernandinho for Rodri anytime. All in all, Fernandinho was a better player than Rodri. As for the other 2, my answer is NO, and I would add Aguero. I wouldn’t swap Haaland at his best or any other striker for Aguero, NEVER. Aguero was a beast at a different level, something else.

Completely agree. some tend to ignore that Jess Park wanted to leave. It is early, but on the long run, I think we got the better deal.

Fowler was selected from Australia for the post game interview, and she was excellent. No silly emotions or overreactions. She sounded much more mature than being only 23. Real pleasure to see Hasegawa holding the trophy as Japan’s captain. She also won the Fair Play award. Yamashita won Best...

1-0 for Japan. The best team and they deserve it. Happy for our players Hasegawa, Fujino, Yamashita, and Shimizu, and I feel for Fowler, she had a very good tournament.

Japan 1-0 Australia (Hamano scored and Hasegawa assisted; 17 minute). The game now is in the 35th min of first half. The 2 teams play with same players of the semifinals. Major difference, Fujino plays right winger (like at City) and Hamano plays left attacking midfielder instead of right...

Fujino also played an excellent game against the Philippines in the quarterfinals, and had 2 assists of which one was outstanding. In my opinion, she was the player of the match.

Excluding the right defender who plays for a Japanese team, all of their starting line up are from WSL. None of the players who play in other European countries or USA is starting today. Our 3 players: Yamashita, Fujino, and Hasegawa all started.

So far, Kennedy played in the midfield, box to box, with Australia. She already scored 5 goals, and is one of the best performers in this tournament up till now. Our players looked very good too: Hasegawa (1 goal and 2 assists in 1 full game and 2 halves from 2 games), Fujino (1 goal in 2...

Yamashita won the WSL save of the month for February because of her excellent save against Chelsea. https://www.mancity.com/news/womens/ayaka-yamashita-man-city-wsl-save-of-the-month-february-2026-63908039

Simplistic statistics could be deceiving. We will need to dig deeper and look who was Dias defensive partners compared to the shit show matches, how the winning and losing teams lined up played against us, how we lined up and played against the losing and wining teams, etc. We don’t know what...
