Happy New -World Cup- Year!


Canada 2015 Cool World Cup Poster
It's very hard not to get excited for what will be unfolding in the summer as we have entered the year 2015. A World Cup year is always special and after the exciting spectacle of the men's World Cup last year in Brazil I'm very much looking forward to this year's women's World Cup in Canada.

Last year was indeed very exciting, it was my first time of truly following most of the top women's leagues in the world. I also believe I watched more live global women's games last year and believe me it's very hard to juggle following and live viewing both men's and women's football, however it's worth it.

Moving on, in preparation for the World Cup this year, I'm hoping we -all of us interested in the women's game- can do enough to build the hype for this year's World Cup, because every World Cup is worth the hype, (I have never watched a boring one) and by 'building the hype' I mean using whatever outlet you seem to be good at to raise awareness and thrill for the exciting spectacle.

How can we do that? Compilation videos, cool digital wallpapers, articles, blogging and all that in mass quantities, believe me after that people who might not be remotely as interested or casual watchers of women's football would gain interest. After all, if not for major You Tube videos I wouldn't be as deep as I am in this Universe.

Case and point, as we celebrate this new year let's start prepping and building a buzz for the World Cup. I know the media -the ones interested in the women's game- have already started making moves regarding the tournament. The BBC are sure to show every game of the World Cup for the UK, FOX seem to have it under control in the USA -here's hoping to actual good soccer commentary/analysis- and Telemundo for the Spanish television here in the States too, Euro Sports and other European Media would show the games and I'm pretty sure there would be live streams flooding (sorry) the internet for each games.

And in case you just seem to be a casual reader/watcher/follower of women's football, or perhaps you want to know more, there's a few out lets I can lead you to.
On You Tube: Search for the Jigsaww Page. The account does incredible compilations.
For Podcasts: Search for 'Wosozone'. To listen to the latest views on the women's game and 'WWF Show', they do the same also, in a more frenzy way.
On Facebook: You can follow the NWSL Supporters Group. Where NWSL fans are majorly involved in and general women's football matters are also discussed in.
Get involved, grow the game and catch the excitement.

Happy New Year Once Again.

I might go a bit AWOL on the blog as I would be trying to put various information and all that regarding articles on teams I would want to preview this year.
