Portland, OR - According to sources, Portland Thorns fan Heather Williams is now the local expert on Australia after spending the past few months tracking players in Canberra, Brisbane, Melbourne and Sydney.

Apparently there are other Australian skylines that don’t have the Sydney Opera House.

“She’s become a fountain of information on everything to do with Australia,” stated good friend Steph Phillips. “At any time she is just talking about W-League games that she watched and random facts about the Australian cities where all the Thorns players are playing.”

According to friends, this obsession with the players overseas has merged into an obsession with the cities and country itself.

“Did you know that Canberra is the capital city of Australia,” asked Williams to her friends during a meet up for trivia night. “Did you know that Canberra is Australia’s largest inland city? Did you know that Melbourne Victory only have 4 points from 4 games and have a negative goal differential?”

Friends also indicate that Williams has been positively evangelical about encouraging friends to watch the W-League as she indicated that it was, “Totally easy to watch live games and all you have to do is subtract the day that you are on from the day you want to watch and stay up until 12:30 am the day of, or sometimes 10:00 pm the day before the day of the game for the non 7:30 pm games and understand that it is on ESPN + with a replay so that when you can’t figure out the timezone you can just cave and watch games the day after they happen.”

The Nutmeg News will have more on this as Williams starts incorporating Australian slang into her repertoire as she rants about bogans.
