A very subjective look into AWFC

Every footballer needs a break. Us fans need a break. The amount of matches professional footballers play in modern times is absolutely insane. We have all heard Viv and Leah bring it up, we all see the injuries…from ACLs to torn achilles and don’t forget about mental health situations as well. It’s a lot.

It seems like there has been a major tournament every single summer since the pandemic pretty much and it has to be exhausting for everyone involved and I know for a fact that this summer can’t come soon enough for a whole plethora of reasons.

My hope is that they are given lots of time off and that there is different footage than just dogs and coffee. I want all of the players to travel, go to the beach, sleep a lot, go golfing, swimming, walk around NYC or come to LA and do absolutely. nothing.

If nothing else they need time away from football to also think about life after football. Time flies and next thing you know you’re playing your last season in the WSL and you don’t know what you’re gonna do. Some of the most important periods of my life have been when I haven’t been busy and I had to figure out what the hell my life would be like.

Another thing about tournaments is that there is constant disappointment and heartbreak and I get that this is part of life and sports but I cannot take Steph Catley not winning another trophy. If I see her crying on the pitch or just crying anywhere it is gonna break my heart.

England fans are somewhat spoiled and you’ve won 2 euros but as Oranjeleeuwinnen fan, it’s been brutal and since I still hope to see Viv AND DvD *the original, I need this summer to be completely and utterly boring as fuck.

Just read some books queens. Go to the spas, go to the mediation retreats, all of that and more.
