while it looks like fifa and gianni infantino may be walking back its proposals to "sell off" football, it's worth keeping in mind that the tournaments that would be most affected had an immediate global boycott occurred was the women's u20 world cup this fall, and the senior women's world cup in brasil next year.

but when you think about it, it's no surprise. the women have always been willing to step up and sacrifice their careers in order to help improve the game for others 🙏

I’m so tired of everything. I just wanted to search what soccer player had the most international goals and it said the highest was 109 so I was very confused bc I thought it was higher than that.

There are 9 women soccer players that have had 109 or more international goals, the highest being Christine Sinclair of Canada with 186

That being said, here’s a short list of the highest scoring players in international soccer

Christine Sinclair, Canada, 186

Abby Wambach, United States, 184

Mia Hamm, United States, 158

Kristine Lilly, United States, 130

Birgit Prinz, Germany, 128

Carli Lloyd, United States, 124

Julie Fleeting, Scotland, 116

Marta, Brazil, 109

Alex Morgan, United States, 109

Ali Daei (Male), Iran, 109

Patrizia Panico, Italy, 107

Elisabetta Vignotto, Italy, 107

Michelle Akers, United States, 107

Cristiano Ronaldo (Male), Portugal, 107

Sun Wen, China PR, 106

Anyways, my I’m just tired of searching for simple information and having results only consider men. Just give me honest results it’s not that hard 🤷‍♀️ idk

Vintage woso part 2:

Let’s take it wayyyy way back here with “China ‘91 The First Champions”, to the tourney that started it all. It was the first *official* world championship and most women’s teams were only about 10-15 years into existence at that point. It was the predecessor to all the international woso we enjoy today. The video also has a little bit of woso history and a lot of footage from the host cities itself woven in, but it adds to the charm.

This tournament is FULL of forgotten goats. I’ll touch on them in depth at a later point, but if you’re not familiar with Carolina Morace and Heidi Mohr, take a sec to do so, your jaw will drop at their stats. This video briefly introduces them and has some of their highlights including Morace’s hat trick, which was the first ever at a wwc. It also showcases Akers’ five goals against Chinese Taipei which surprisingly weren’t cheap (27:55 🤯).

The US was stacked. Anson Dorrance (love him or hate him after the allegations) was at the helm with DiCicco and Lauren Gregg as his assistants. The UNC dynasty he built yielded such a great farm system for the US to dip from, with NINE of the team being Tar Heels. It was a similar story for 95 and 99 with 7 and 8 Tar Heels on each roster respectively. The impact UNC had on the uswnt and international soccer can’t be understated. It was basically UNC vs the world for a solid 12 years. The piece de resistance however, was the “triple edged sword” as it was called, of Michelle Akers, April Heinrichs, and Carin Gabarra (Jennings). Akers is a name that speaks for itself, she won the golden boot of the tournament with 10 goals, and was pivotal through 99. Heinrich’s has a name recognized due to her illustrious time at UNC and more recently, as a uswnt coach. Gabarra however, has gotten lost in the history books and holy crap. She won the golden ball and silver boot at the tourney, including a hat trick against Germany in the semis. They called her crazy legs... do yourself a favor and go to 14:41. FILTHY! People rightfully talk about Tobin breaking ankles, but good lord Gabarra was the maestro of her day.

China was a fantastic choice as the First Nation to hold a women’s World Cup. Letttts not look too deeply on the how, but these women, in 1991 (!!!) played to packed stadiums, and the pagentry hasn’t been replicated at a wwc since. The opening ceremony with the Phoenix? Just lovely. Enjoy!

Update: ermahgerd just realized someone had also posted all of the uswnt’s wwc91 games. Here’s the final and this account has the rest as well:
