Being a women's football supporter you have seen it all so with it being Female Football Week, The Women's Game thought it would be fun to look at all the things supporter feel, see and have experienced.
1. When two W-League matches a week just isn’t enough
meanwhile 10 yrs into the w-league we have world class athletes putting on amazing performances, the standard has appeal for players around the world, and ffa are like "accessible live streams? never heard of them." *big sigh*

2. Commentators might just need a little bit more work on getting players’ names right
It's that #AlgarveCup time of year again. #LeVanna #Kellond

No Steph #Caytley today though. #AUSvNOR
Appreciate the commentator trying to distract us from the horrendous officiating earlier by dropping “Chloe Logizard”

3. Twitter bombarded with “any livestreams?” before any match
4. Being forced to wait for 1+ hour for the torrential rain to stop before they finally decided to postpone it

6. When you get bowled over by an opponent but stand right back up like nothing happened
One of my favourite things about the #wleague.

Strong contest. Get up. Play on. No drama. pic.twitter.com/iiPN7inbEb
7. Being role models for kids, but especially young boys
This photo is POWERFUL. The culture shift & recognition of female footballers.... young boys can aspire to play like Sam Kerr. I never thought I'd be able to say that. What a great capture @RachelBBach 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 pic.twitter.com/SR2xIFe67m
