Women's FIFA World Cup


Welcome back to my blog! Today I will be talking about the Women's FIFA World cup which is currently being broadcasted. You know, I am very glad that soccer, the most popular sport in the world, has a big tournament for boys and girls. Even though the FIFA World Cup for men is more popular, it gives a chance to women to show their capabilities and skills in soccer. Women can show everyone that they can be better than men in some sports. Many people are usually biased towards women playing sports. They say that only guys should play sports and women should clean the house. That's how it is many different religions too but of course we can't do anything about it. That person should decide what they want to do. 


Christine Sinclair
One of my favorite players in the Women's FIFA World Cup is Christine Sinclair. She is Canadian just like me! She represents Canada very well and she is an amazing player. Canada does not really have a good men's soccer team thus not being able to get in the men's FIFA World Cup. Therefore this is another opening for Canada not to be looked down on in this amazing sport. It's all thanks to the women. Canada presently advanced to the Round 16 of the World Cup. If Canada wins in the Round 16, they can get into the quarter finals. It would be amazing if they won the World Cup this year!!! It would be a huge inspiration to all the women in Canada who enjoy playing soccer. We haven’t won a world cup yet. The more wins they have, the more they show everyone around them how they got better, through practice and practice. This doesn’t just go for the Canadian team, but all the teams around the world so they can show their best side and the incredible abilities of a woman.

  1. I really enjoyed this blog post Mona! I also am watching the tournament on television and am enjoying watching it. I like how you stated your favourite women's player because not many people know women players like Sinclair. I also enjoy her style of play and she is a very good player. Keep up the good work!
