The joy non-Americans are taking in a US loss is in full acknowledgement of the team's dominance and leadership. It's a compliment. The vitriol from US commentators towards the team is just unabashed toxic misogyny. Team USA - you've still got this.

Hey y'all. Just in case you missed it (I did), the FA Cup prize money is out and this season (marking 150 years of the FA Cup's existence AND the 100 year anniversary of the FA ban on women's football) the winning women's team will still win just 1.4% what the men win.

"We’re hearing situations where clubs have already restructured their budgets to eliminate women’s football altogether." A crisis is the time to reconfigure how to create a better, more sustainable, more inclusive reality. Not to put the handbrake on.

Women's game is now riddled with uncertainty for clubs and players

Most players are on short contracts, and some teams may also find themselves cut adrift by parent clubs

Got to love Emma Hayes' straight talking. I especially love the bit about Wimbledon not being able to afford her. That might adjust the way some people understand women's football.

Emma Hayes rejects claims EFL job an upgrade on Chelsea Women

Emma Hayes labelled as an ‘insult’ suggestions that an EFL job would be a step up from women’s football, after she was linked with the vacancy at AFC Wimbledon

Or...men, don't apply if you don't have the skills? Bugbear of mine but I don't dig the "be more confident" call on women. It makes it our problem again. And there's no need for any more misplaced male confidence in the world.

"Come on man, don't make a big scene" Kudos to San Diego Loyal and Landon Donovan for taking a stand. It's clear the officials and many leaders and managers in sport are too privileged and blind to genuinely tackle bigotry and discrimination.

The San Diego Loyal walked off the field in protest Wednesday night, saying a Phoenix Rising player used an anti-gay slur directed at openly-gay midfielder Collin Martin. Manager Landon Donovan discussed the incident with the referee and Phoenix head coach Rick Schantz.

Game postponed today. Please understand before you @ a club or a league or a ref or person that every call to postpone a game involves many many people, and they almost definitely have not been having a lie-in all morning.

There's acceptance that women's clubs can't afford to end the season but it didn't need to be predestined. Our FA Cup Prize money campaign isn't philosophical. It's cash. It's careers. It's fulfilled potential. Clubs would've been able to finish the season - had they been male.

As always, @SuzyWrack describes eloquently (and honestly) why so many of us had a visceral reaction to Aguero manhandling Massey-Ellis.

What Sergio Agüero did to Sian Massey-Ellis was not OK – just ask any woman | Suzanne Wrack

Those who defend the Manchester City striker’s grabbing of the official are blind to the context that makes it indefensible

Do you like niche, unique, one-of-a kind football shirts? What about a one-off Lewes FC shirt with a slogan we weren't permitted to wear? What about one signed by Megan Rapinoe? (no really) You could win it with a single donation to our crowdfunder!

A piece I didn't want to write. You should probably read it if you think the blame for current Championship club crises lies solely with bad owners. It has been a ticking time bomb - and far from over.

Old colleagues often ask why I switched to work in football from human rights/corruption. "It's just a game". Yet women are barred from stadiums in Iran & face thousands of obstacles each day to play "just a game". That's why it's more than a game.

Don't get me wrong. We need the money, we crave the money, we could do *so much* with the money - but that's not a great bargaining position to be in. So let's make sure that conversations about the future of women's football are inclusive and transparent.

With respect, I spent many years analysing commitments from governments at the UN and G20. Any commitment "continuing to" do something means status quo. Nothing new. Nothing different. No advance. Women's football is changing everyday. Can the PFA keep up?
