G'day Line … certainly a great event for women's sport, but unfortunately if you follow soccer, which I don't, will be played after midnight in this part of the world, however I will follow progress of the Matildas - thank you Line - Lindsay

I do not watch much women sports, though the closest would be table tennis (ping pong) or badminton, so this Cup event will not be watched by me Line--Best Wishes, Aloha William

Just to clarify, local channels have never shown world events except the olympics or when america leads in something, lest I purchase those sports (or any special) channels, whereto, I do not, let alone watch TV altogether for it has been some years now. Mostly spend time with family/friends/internet nowadays.
