I didn’t watch the soccer, I find it a bit boring. Did watch the netball this week though. World champions for the 12th time. Doesn’t get the recognition it deserves, phenomenal success. Easily our most successful sporting team, and has been for 60 years. Interestingly our team and individual sports greatest ever sportspeople are both female. Netball for teams, Heather McKay for individual. (And that includes Bradman, her record surpasses his.) McKay is recognised even less than the netball.
