The German achievement of winning it again without conceding a goal won a lot of new fans here. If Franz Beckenbauer can sort out the weather again I think we're in for another great tournament.

I don´t want to sound sexist, but a bit of style could probably boost the public interest in the game.

Each 4-year cycle the teams have improved. The Germans were polished as well as efficient, they certainly don't lack team skill. The Brazilians were the best looking team and could have beaten Germany if their forward line was as incisive in the final as it was against the US and Australia. North Korea looked really good tactically except they lacked the will up front and settled for too many long-range attempts at goal. Some interesting matchups we did not get to see were Germany-US, North Korea-Brazil, US-Australia, and England-Australia. The women’s game was good and exciting in 1999, 2003 and again this year.

I don't think many people follow the women's game and for one very good reason. It's not very good. I wouldn’t be sorry.

The profile could definitely do with a bit of a boost (a prize for the best profile-boosting joke submitted). To my shame, I don’t follow women’s football at all.
