….study showed that spectators only rate men's game scenes and goals more highly when they recognize that men are playing. However, if the gender of the players is hidden, the differences in evaluation almost completely disappear.

So don’t think I’ll be bothering much with the FIFA Clubs World Cup in June.
But come July I’ll try to watch as much of the Women’s Euro25 as circumstances permit. Should be a tournament worth watching.

Drama, drama, drama. On the final day of the season it wasn’t to be. Given expectations at the beginning of the campaign it’s something that we were even this close to the title. Bravo and thank you to the squad. #faklive

Warming up for the second game of the day. It’s not in our hands but if we do our part and the result in the other game is favourable then the Bundesliga title is ours. Let’s do this, come on Austria! #faklive

It’s outrageous that the final games of the Bundesliga season are played on the same day as the ÖFB Frauen Cup final. It seems that for Austrian football authorities Women’s Football is priority as long as it doesn’t get in the way of the men’s game. Those responsible should ‘fall on their swords’
