Game Day 4 - PNG girls show their skills but US too good

Authored by: Brett Northey

I get your point but:

1. I have no reason to believe there's any agenda. And we've certainly commented that the US are up there with Ireland as the only undefeated women's teams.

2. the PNG girls' average age is about 18, they are very much younger, so I think it's understandable that the author might focus on that, especially if they're smaller too

3. yes we're not professional, and I know that's not meant to be a slur, but it's interesting to compare with professionals on many levels - they aren't covering this tournament hardly at all, those that do don't have anywhere near the knowledge of international footy and end up having to research it (if they do) through a site like this, and even when writing about pro sports, guess what, a big chunk of the audience doesn't like the slant they take anyway

4. having said all that yes maybe a bit more focus on why the US won may have been good, but also note our people are watching game after game after game, and so many are complete walk overs at this stage, that to see a team losing comfortably but actually in the contest was perhaps unusual and I suspect Tobie was enthuasiastic to put that point across
