Sour grapes of course from Colombia, which saw this as a way to give womens soccer some much needed publicity in Sot America, where soccer is a mens game.
The Europeans voted as a bloc for Colombia, apparently thinking development in South America was more important than in Australia and New Zealand.
In Australia womens sport is well developed, with soccer competing with hockey, basketball, netball, cricket and more recently with rugby league and Australian Rules football.

Yeah, good choice. Plenty of stadiums and infrastructure here. The marquee games will draw big crowds. I'll probably watch it. But adding 8 teams means the quality will dip, not that you're watching women's sport for quality anyway.
It will be interesting to see whether hosting the tourney will be a help.or hindrance for the Matildas.

Apart from seeing attractive and healthy young women getting all active and sweaty, the game is slower so it is easier to see set pieces unwinding and how positions mesh into teamwork. Women are as skilful in ballwork as the men, and in Europe especially the standard of coaching sets a high standard of tactics and skills.

Maybe having the world cup might attract a decent lot of coaches wanting to coach them |
