Women... wants.
If an article is written by someone who can't get subject-verb tense agreement in the title, i automatically lose any interest in what the author has to say about anything else.
The grammar is correct, when she says “women” she is referring to team which is a singular.
The grammar is not correct. Collective nouns don't work like that. Is "the team puts on their jersey" or "the team put on their jerseys" correct? Collective nouns have sanctioned uses, but the one in the OP is not one of them.
When using team names they’re treated as singular. Pretty much nobody other than Australians seems to get that right but it is correct grammar. So while “Manchester United are playing Liverpool” is how most people would both say and write it, the correct structure is “Manchester United is playing Liverpool.” That’s what I’m referring to, that if you assume the journo views “women” as the team then she would apply singular grammar.
