England fans will be able to buy Mary Earps replica goalkeeper shirts after Nike said "limited quantities" would go on sale. The sportswear brand has faced criticism in recent weeks, with Earps expressing dismay the jerseys would not be made commercially available. More than 150,000 people signed a petition asking Nike to sell the tops. In a statement, Nike said it had now "secured limited quantities of goalkeeper jerseys to be sold". BBC
Nike should sell a line of England blindfolds with Bronze's number on them, after all, she ran down a ****ing blind alley for their goal.
Should give the same blindfold to Sam Kerr for missing that tap in against England . Would have done better with it on
The entire coaching team for the Spanish women’s national team (other than the head coach) have just resigned.
It's completely dwarfed their achievement last week but they've had this coming for years . Shame for the Women's achievements.
The mother of Spanish football federation president Luis Rubiales has gone on a hunger strike because of the "inhuman hunt" against her son. There has been widespread criticism of Rubiales, 46, after he kissed forward Jenni Hermoso on the lips following Spain's Women's World Cup final win. His mother, Angeles Bejar, has now locked herself in a church in Motril. She told Spanish news agency EFE the strike would continue "indefinite, day and night". Hermoso, 33, said the kiss during the presentation ceremony in Sydney on 20 August was not consensual. Rubiales vowed not to resign on Friday but was suspended by world football's governing body Fifa on Saturday. Spanish media have gathered outside the Divina Pastora church in Motril on the southern Spanish coast, the town where Rubiales was raised. Bejar told EFE that the "inhuman and bloody hunt that they are doing with my son is something he does not deserve". BBC
I can't understand why he didn't simply say 'it wasn't appropriate, but I was just carried away by the moment. I'd like to apologise to her' Chances are she would have accepted it and everyone would have moved on
A bit??? Among the other stories overshadowing the win, the guy's mother is on hunger strike, in a church. And this, "Spain's top criminal court has opened a preliminary investigation into the country's football federation president Luis Rubiales after he kissed player Jenni Hermoso on the lips." As for clubs being banned from European competition, at a guess I would say Real Madrid and Barcelona would have a say in that.
Not sure it would be enough these days Den. People would just shout at him louder. Spains top criminal court determine whether it’s a Sexual assault or not. All totally off the scale. No good will come from these social media witch trials. No wonder some take their own life’s these days. It’s like sitting round Madame Guillotine knitting.
Maybe not, but he would have had a much better chance of it dying down if he hadn't come across so arrogantly and accepted he was at fault.
He certainly would have. I’m at a loss how Spains World Cup win has been overshadowed totally by this. These times used to be a triumph of achievement. Just the wrong headlines. As you say he hardly helped himself.
Problem is this is already on the back of the coach having such a poor relationship with the players pre-tournament. How they managed to win and play so well in the final is beyond me.
Do you know more details I’ve had a look but c t seem to find out much Seems amazing so many walked out and they drafted in a load of new players and were brilliant And why do they hate the coach? Or do they? It’s all bizarre
Not loads, but the players said there was a really bad atmosphere amongst the team and that there was poor management of injuries, so its safe to say it hasn't been a happy ship for a while. Not entirely sure how he got them to win. I think it'll all inevitably end with the president and the coach stepping down.
Amidst all the bother over 'the kiss' it's quite ironic that a Spanish club should have signed Greenwood.
