Fútnotes, Volume 45

Things are winding down around the world with regards to the women’s soccer calendar. As of this writing there are still some international games to be played and a few leagues will go closer to the Christmas season, most of the news coming through will focus more on player movements and analysis. I have a couple of ideas for offseason content, despite the relatively short break during the winter.

I’m always open to new ideas and collaborations, so if there’s something or someone in the women’s soccer space you think I should know about please let me know!
