Okay apparently WAFCON also used the match result between tied teams as the first tie breaker. In this group, that will be interesting to see how it turns out, because Malawi beat Nigeria, who beat Zambia, who are beating Malawi right now. All three have 6 points.

It’s not even like Malawi is playing poorly, it’s just that Banda is such an incredible presence for Zambia. She only needs a hair’s thickness of space to be dangerous, and she’s always available to receive a long ball in transition. That combination is lethal

a university is not for generating profit, it provides cultural enrichment via weird little gremlin people who love visigoths or haikus, and very occasionally a scientist who figures out faster than light travel

a lot of what the right does nowadays is create an emotional support system for bigots. bigotry will offend and alienate people in your life, so the right looks provides a counterweight that lavishes you with praise.

It's quite heartwarming to see actual women's football fans watching WAFCON continue to just be an awe of Barbra Banda, in total contrast to the deluge of interphobic abuse thrown at her by self-appointed "protectors of women's sport" who've probably never watched a women's game.
