decent reason as to why?

or sub-plots. Or at least if there are some, most of us don't know about them.
As a non watcher of women's football, I know none of the players, none of their back-stories, none of the previous results. I have absolutely no context beyond the game itself.
The fact is, the standard is higher than that of - say - an under 16s bloke's match, but we could probably summon some interest in an Arsenal Under 16s match if we knew that a few potential starts of the future were playing.
In fairness, Australia Japan wasnt exactly the spectacle we'd all been waiting for but Canada England was a decent game.
That said, it's also rubbish. They should play on smaller pitches imo.
Which, of course, rather defeats the object of the whole thing
also an issue for me. Australia, the USA, Canada and Japan have no business in the latter stages of an international football tournament.
Also, were you really watching it? Or were you popping in and out while doing something else?
Seemed to reinforce my prejudices - decent technically but utterly shambolic at the back and in goal.
