Hesi Posted August 22 Share Posted August 22 Not a big follower of football, but with Spain winning the WC, what an intriguing and continuing story behind the scenes. Strong disagreement to the coaches methods 15 of the top players sent a correspondence calling for him to go or change Spanish football federation demanded they recant and apologise Only 3 of those 15 selected to travel, the rest from the next level down No acknowledgement or support from those 12 of the success Barcelona and Man United given all the credit for the win, not the coach Amazingly Spain win and emphatically, English outclassed, what a comment that is on the quality of players available Still very strong division and friction within Spanish womens football Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Howard Atkinson Posted August 23 Share Posted August 23 Having read all that you read, Hesi, I like others had more than a few doubts about the Spanish Football Federation, prior to the Final against England. However the subsequent actions of the President of the Spanish Football Federation at the Medals Ceremony were able to clarify everything perfectly. The Spanish team won this year's World Cup in spite of the Spanish Football Federation, not because of them.Last year Spain had won the U-20s Women's World Cup, the U-17s Women's World Cup, and have so much overall strength in their women's ranks that 12 so-called mutineers were barely missed in the Women's World Cup just concluded.. The Spanish players were far too good for the opposition, and with that they were able to overcome their divisive, federation-sanctioned coach who very nearly brought the whole thing undone. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
