Why I’m paying attention to the Women’s [Football] World Cup

I’m no sports fan—anyone who knows me will tell you I have a hard time telling a silly point from a mid-on or a drop shot from a forehand slice, though I can of course tell that these have to do with entirely different games. Like anyone else, I enjoy joining in the frenzy of a big cricket face-off or cheering for my family’s favourite at a Grand Slam final, but it’s more about the cultural moment rather than an interest in the sport itself. After all, there is an undeniable aesthetic, an excitement associated with the intense competition, physical and mental challenge and the unfolding of strategy on a field or a court. But in general, I’d rather bury my head in a book or watch a movie or even take a walk in the park, in my moments of leisure. Or of course, listen to a good podcast.
