Nations interested in hosting the 2023 Women's World Cup:

I would say Australia (first WC in Oceania) and Japan (previous winner, never hosted) are probably favourites?

 

Unified Korea would be "interesting" (first to be hosted by more than one country), but I don't know how it would work...

Also, maybe Brazil could be in a joint bid with Argentina and/or Colombia, arguably the three best teams in South America (sorry, Bolivia). But I think it will take more time to have a Women's World Cup in SA.

I'd put money on Korea or South Africa, for the 'image' of FIFA that would be perfect and the marketing options for both are endless. "First ever in Africa!" also is gonna sell a billion times more than "First ever in South America!".

Netherlands under 19 played the final qualifying group phase at home the past few days, today it finished with a match against Spain. Netherlands had 6 points, Spain 4, so a draw would be enough to qualify.....but in the very, very last minute, Spain made 0-1

Team B  1-0

Just passing here to say that Slovan Bratislava is "again" the Slovak national champion.

 

They won their 9th title since the independance (the club was also 8 times champion of former Czechoslovakia, including the legendary title in 1992 - the last Czechoslovakian league season played)

 

This time (even if I´m obviously far far far from being a fan of this club ) I must admit that it was in a really mentionable manner, already 6 rounds to go ! They have after todays win in Žilina 19 points advantage in the table, so 6 games left = 18 points max to achieve, it´s official they are champions.

 

This summer they will represent us in Champions league qualifying round, let´s hope they will pass at least one opponent
