Turkish Women's Cup 2019

Oh, poor Turkmen girls: it was a carnage.

 

It's the first ever international for the country... we couldn't expect much different. Not sure if Turkmenistan has much of a women's league either.

(Did the coach's microphone need to be so VERY LOUD on the web stream? However, he would be an ideal pundit on Faroe Islands TV.)

​

 

Nothing can beat the genuine enthusiasm of Faroe Islands TV announcers.

 

Also some nice commentary from Northern Ireland's manager Alfie Wylie:

(I'd love to hear a Wylie & Hue Menzies World Cup podcast.)

Interesting clash of the continents, this - they're both teams that do quite well in their immediate regions, but don't qualify for UEFA/AFC tournaments.



(I haven't seen the full match with coaches' audio, but presumably it's very good.)

I am so ready for that Never mind the WWC 3rd-place consolation game.

Have they ever played each other?
