This is a very exciting tournament indeed – luckily I work from home (writing about Arsenal Women, of course!) so I’m able to watch most of the games (except I draw the line at the 3am matches lol!) How are you all watching the World Cup? And who’s your favourite to become the new World Champions? Can one of our Gunners lift the trophy?
COYGW!
