These 500 points aren't going to be as much changing in the cumulative rankings, because @Quango anyway didn't play enough games to reach the top positions, but now he's somehow within reach of @lukephan : 1 Unepommekun 4665 2 Lohmann 4505 3 Blissett 4040 4 Miora 3055 5 Elstree 2315 6 Lukephan 2265 7 Quango 2085 8 Frideswide 100 Meanwhile, I finally passed the 4000 mark also (and with a score that I like: 40-40 ) but this doesn't help me much since this week I made the same score as @Lohmann.

Wow, a fantastic resource and quite a labour of love to try to keep it all up to date. I asked AI to summarise it (sorry, being lazy). The author lists 263 Japanese female players across 32 countries: Europe (UEFA) — 127 players across 19 countries. Germany is the biggest single destination with 34 (spread from the Frauen-Bundesliga down to fourth tier), followed by England with 24 (including 22 in the WSL) and Spain with 21. The rest are scattered across Sweden (9), the Netherlands (10), Latvia (5), Italy (6), Malta (3), Norway (3), and one or two each in Denmark, Finland, France, Hungary, Kazakhstan, Lithuania, Poland, Portugal, Scotland and Switzerland. Asia & Oceania (AFC/OFC) — 119 players across 10 countries. Australia dominates with 65, mostly in state-level leagues (Victoria alone has 36). Taiwan has 14, Singapore 11, New Zealand 10, South Korea 7, plus smaller contingents in Malaysia, Thailand, Cambodia, China and Bhutan. Americas (CONCACAF/CONMEBOL) — 17 players: 11 in the USA (10 of them in the NWSL), 3 in Canada's new Northern Super League, and 3 in Argentina. It's worth setting up an account on Note (ノート）just to send him a tip for his efforts.
Thanks to this site, I know now that Ichika EGASHIRA left Argentina (San Lorenzo) and came back to Japan in December.
The men's WC has ended. Was satisfied with the outcome of the final. Now Spain are the current men's and women's champions. Now setting my sights on WWC 2027
I don't know about Takeda and Ooi, but the other three are somewhat familiar. Mitani and Kato appeared in WE for very short time, and of course you know well about Takahira.
She’s had quite a tough time with injuries - brave girl: https://note.com/natsumi_taketa/n/n8b41191d2b9a
Thanks for that. It took the Welsh commentator 20 minutes to say "Gee Takahira is class!". It was quite an even game despite Riga winning 4-1 in the end. They just had a bit more class and their striker Kumba Brima is a bit too fast for this level of football.
