Being a women's football supporter

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*

being australian and paying for @FOXSportsAUS subscription but they won’t even stream the games they have rights too @WLeague

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

DANMARK, Jag som fotbollsspelare står bakom detta lag, jag som lagkapten för svenska damlandslaget står enad med detta lag, jag som Caroline Seger stöttar definitivt detta landslag!

A post shared by segercaroline (@segercaroline) on Oct 19, 2017 at 1:09am PDT

Jag tar vid där min lagkapten, @segercaroline, slutade och stöttar även jag mina danska kollegors strid för bättre villkor. Vi är alla förkrossade över att det skulle behöva gå såhär långt. Men mitt stöd för er kamp förblir lika starkt. #unity
