The Women's World Cup has reached the semi-finals, but you wouldn't really know it from the scarcity of news on the subject. Doesn't help that China is host nation so the games are on at 5 in the morning. Also doesn't help that interest in the Women's national team has dropped considerably with Mia Hamm's retirement, but still.

The US look pretty strong, as usual, but the best game I saw was the Brazil - Australia match, a riveting affair that had it all.

Germany v Norway the 26th at 8 AM, and USA v Brazil the 27th at 8 AM. Might be worth checking out, showing up at work, you know, whenever.

And yes, that does appear to be a picture of the lovely Matildas hopping like kangaroos...
