What Colour Catcher's partnership with Man City means for WSL

This summer’s Women’s World Cup tournament has had a lasting impact throughout the world of women’s football. From more coverage for domestic competitions to sell-out stadiums bringing in greater exposure, the platform for women’s football has grown from strength to strength.

But one aspect that is yet to be given the same luxury is the lives of some of the best female footballers in the world, outside of the sport.

It’s a luxury that their male counterparts have been gifted by the media season after season. You only have to cast your minds back to Daniel Agger’s tattoo artist qualifications, Dimitar Berbatov’s love for squirrels and the enthusiasm that surrounded Wayne Rooney’s drummer-boy ambitions.

Of course, it’s not as if the likes of Vivianne Miedema or Debinha don’t have interesting lives akin to that of male footballers. But all you have to do is a simple google search of the former or the latter, and the results are damning in the favour of our argument: all the focus surrounds their on-field actions, and thus all the pressure.
