1
00:00:03,160 --> 00:00:07,640
Speaker 1: Lisa, want to kick the soccer ball together? No, thanks,

2
00:00:07,920 --> 00:00:09,640
Speaker 1: I don't feel like kicking the ball.

3
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:14,880
Speaker 2: I'm trying to get unconfused. What are you confused about, Lisa?

4
00:00:15,560 --> 00:00:20,080
Speaker 1: It's something someone said. I don't get it.

5
00:00:21,920 --> 00:00:23,360
Speaker 2: Well, what do they say?

6
00:00:24,480 --> 00:00:27,080
Speaker 1: They said nobody cares about women's soccer?

7
00:00:27,960 --> 00:00:33,400
Speaker 2: What Welcome to Stories for Kids BI Lingo Kids, where

8
00:00:33,440 --> 00:00:36,720
Speaker 2: we discover fascinating facts about the world around us and

9
00:00:36,760 --> 00:00:40,519
Speaker 2: the fun of play learning. Did you know there are

Speaker 2: more people than ever enjoying women's soccer these days? All

11
00:00:44,880 --> 00:00:47,880
Speaker 2: over the world. People are watching the Women's World Cup,

12
00:00:48,000 --> 00:00:51,519
Speaker 2: which is going on right now. But Lisa is wondering

13
00:00:52,040 --> 00:00:56,520
Speaker 2: how come everyone doesn't love women's soccer? And is that okay?

14
00:00:57,160 --> 00:01:00,880
Speaker 2: Is it not okay? Why does it feel not quite right?

15
00:01:01,560 --> 00:01:06,039
Speaker 2: Let's explore hum, Lisa, I can understand why you're so upset.

16
00:01:06,840 --> 00:01:13,360
Speaker 1: Thanks, women's soccer is the coolest. Women's soccer's magic.

17
00:01:14,240 --> 00:01:15,440
Speaker 2: I think so too.

18
00:01:15,640 --> 00:01:18,440
Speaker 1: Women and girls are some of the best soccer players

19
00:01:18,520 --> 00:01:23,119
Speaker 1: I know, Lisa. Given't you score two goals in your

20
00:01:23,319 --> 00:01:24,400
Speaker 1: game yesterday?

21
00:01:24,920 --> 00:01:25,320
Speaker 2: Yep?

22
00:01:25,560 --> 00:01:29,360
Speaker 1: And I'm a girl, I'm great and scoring goals.

23
00:01:29,840 --> 00:01:32,800
Speaker 2: It seems like we all agree that women and girls

24
00:01:32,840 --> 00:01:34,160
Speaker 2: are great at soccer.

25
00:01:34,800 --> 00:01:38,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, but I don't get it. Why would somebody say

26
00:01:38,680 --> 00:01:40,840
Speaker 1: that nobody cares about women's soccer.

27
00:01:41,640 --> 00:01:45,680
Speaker 2: Well, one thing is not everyone likes the same sports.

28
00:01:45,959 --> 00:01:49,760
Speaker 2: I knew that, and that's because people have different interests.

29
00:01:50,240 --> 00:01:56,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, but it feels icky and sad and like not fair.

30
00:01:57,440 --> 00:02:00,560
Speaker 2: Why does it feel that way? Well, I think it's

31
00:02:00,640 --> 00:02:04,080
Speaker 2: hurtful when someone doesn't like the sport just because of

32
00:02:04,080 --> 00:02:04,960
Speaker 2: who is playing it.

33
00:02:05,520 --> 00:02:08,440
Speaker 1: Ooh, yes, that's the reason.

34
00:02:09,360 --> 00:02:12,360
Speaker 2: If you like watching soccer games, you should enjoy seeing

35
00:02:12,440 --> 00:02:20,480
Speaker 2: boys or girls play or both. Great point, Billy. Anyone

36
00:02:20,520 --> 00:02:23,240
Speaker 2: can be a soccer champ because soccer is about kicking

37
00:02:23,280 --> 00:02:26,440
Speaker 2: the ball, not about which kind of person is kicking

38
00:02:26,480 --> 00:02:26,880
Speaker 2: the ball.

39
00:02:27,520 --> 00:02:28,640
Speaker 1: Yeah.

40
00:02:29,040 --> 00:02:32,919
Speaker 2: Whoever said that nobody cares about women's soccer might have

41
00:02:33,000 --> 00:02:34,680
Speaker 2: some old fashioned ideas.

42
00:02:35,360 --> 00:02:37,120
Speaker 1: What's an old fashioned idea?

43
00:02:37,680 --> 00:02:41,840
Speaker 2: Old fashioned it means ideas from a long time ago

44
00:02:41,919 --> 00:02:46,400
Speaker 2: that don't necessarily fit in today's world. Oh you know,

45
00:02:46,840 --> 00:02:49,160
Speaker 2: there didn't used to be women's soccer teams at all.

46
00:02:50,919 --> 00:02:52,400
Speaker 1: Oh that's terrible.

47
00:02:53,280 --> 00:02:56,040
Speaker 2: There were even some countries where women weren't allowed to

48
00:02:56,160 --> 00:03:01,120
Speaker 2: play soccer. I don't like that. Yeah, in old times,

49
00:03:01,440 --> 00:03:05,440
Speaker 2: lots of sports for mostly for men, to enjoy all.

50
00:03:05,560 --> 00:03:09,240
Speaker 2: But times have changed a lot. Now Lisa can play

51
00:03:09,240 --> 00:03:13,880
Speaker 2: soccer or participat in competitions, and women's soccer champs are

52
00:03:13,919 --> 00:03:21,280
Speaker 2: helping this change happen faster and faster. Billy says, women's

53
00:03:21,280 --> 00:03:25,079
Speaker 2: soccer is now popular all over the world. You're definitely

54
00:03:25,200 --> 00:03:31,280
Speaker 2: not alone if you love women's soccer, he says. The

55
00:03:31,320 --> 00:03:34,679
Speaker 2: Women's World Cup this year has thirty two teams competing,

56
00:03:34,960 --> 00:03:38,440
Speaker 2: which is more teams than ever, and more people than

57
00:03:38,480 --> 00:03:39,760
Speaker 2: ever will be viewing it too.

58
00:03:40,600 --> 00:03:43,600
Speaker 1: I can't wait to watch because I want to be

Speaker 1: this year. She is the captain of Australia's national team,
