Machado is also an author, who wrote the book, ‘How to be a WAG’. But this attracted quite some criticism from the netizens. Weighing in on that, she once said, “We were creating this hilarious satire look at wives and girlfriends in football, that’s what WAG stands for. It’s got nothing to do with age and I wasn’t 40 then was I? If you want to call me an author for that, sweet. I think it was more of a light-hearted podcast, but I was well ahead of my time.”
