    11 years to go (for the men's). Just found out the Americans are hosting the next Copa America in 2024 (what a ****ing joke btw, this is a Central and South American tournament, the US are only invited to make up the numbers!) 2 years before the big World Cup so I expect them to bid to host the 2027 Women's World Cup too (so far, their interest hasn't been confirmed).

    Spurs still without a win since beating Brighton 8-0 in October. Nine league defeats on the bounce, sleepwalking towards relegation at this rate.

    Tottenham (10th) v Leicester (12th) on Wednesday. Probably a season-defining game and certainly a must win.

    1 win can see us go up to 9th, the new keeper is the key difference, Remy Siemsen starting to play and getting fitter could be the missing link

    Well looks like you have sacked a manager .

    Tottenham sack manager Rehanne Skinner after nine straight WSL defeats

    It's not a central American tournament only south American so the 2 teams invited can be from anywhere in the world. The US have been there before so not a one off just for world cup preparation. Better to have quality teams there anyway and the US are one of the best outside South America and Europe

    Would have preferred Canada then. They did win their zone after all.

    Means "Empire of the Franken"

    It comes from the germanic tribe "Franken" (we still have a region in Germany called Franken, it's in Bavaria (Nürnberg, Fürth are in it)

    Frankenreich (abbreviated to Frankreich) = Reich der Franken (Empire of the Franken) but Frankish Empire is also ok. Frankish (Fränkisch in German) is the adjective

    Blown the title race wide open. It’s still advantage Chelsea but any one of four sides can win it with just six games remaining.
