This weekend the Lionesses will take to the field, I think I'll be watching and cheering them on.

Elsewhere I read about an interesting debate that has taken place in Oz where there's apparently been a discussion about how national their "national" team is based on where their players actually play/work/live.

Some there thought that because six of the Australian players actually played for English team they shouldn't be in the Australian team!!!

Bit of a strange approach I thought.

But thinking on, if that applies it seems the next World Cup in the mens game could be a much simpler affair.

Forget the qualifiers and knock out stages.

Just go straight to a final between England and Saudi Arabia :)

Given that the vikings raped and pillaged most of the UK and Ireland during their world tour, I'd say that most of us on here have a claim to be able to represent Norway, Sweden or Denmark.
