One of the ultimate women's soccer photos. Not just because it features a couple of my favourite players in Zoe Thompson and Rebecca Simpson, two of NZ's best-performed footballers and most attractive and engaging personalities in the women's game, but because this still of their Taharoto Park tussle perfectly captures so many aspects of everything that is good about New Zealand women's soccer full stop. Skill, flair, athleticism, passion, competitiveness, commitment, energy, enterprise, desire, grace, poise, enthusiasm, beauty, class, and an all-encompassing will to win ... all the attributes which, for mine, make the women's game in New Zealand so much more attractive and entertaining to watch than the men's game are encapsulated brilliantly in this Graham Hughes / Proshotz 2004 masterwork.
