The 10: 0 German soccer players for World Cup opener against Ivory Coast is grist to the mill of critics on new mode
Even Germany coach Silvia Neid wondered about the footballing as tactically desolate appearance of the World Cup novices: “We had them more positively, as they played I would have never thought that we 10:.. gain 0″ Anja Mittag, who as a “Player of the Match” as Sasic had laced a hat-trick, was after the hard pace of helpless opponent (29 fouls, six yellow cards) just “happy that we are still so got off lightly”.
The pubic bone bruise of Melanie Leupolz, numerous bruises and lacerations were the Germans tangible memory of the second-highest World Cup victory of the story. This did not only ZDF expert Kim Kulig hurt to watch. “From such results you really want to get away,” expressed the injured national player: “Of course it’s nice when the little ones can play, but the appeal has been suffering In my opinion, the step has come too soon..”
That such results in expanding the field of participants would occur to eight teams, took the world governing body FIFA with the decision six years ago knowingly tolerated. “We make no mistake about it: We are in this tournament have results that show the differences blatantly” The relevant FIFA Director Tatjana Haenni told the Frankfurter Rundschau
The World Federation wanted loud Haenni topping, “because with it in eight countries more result from the World Cup finals entirely new development opportunities”. Ivory Coast is the only way could qualify for the African championship behind Nigeria and Cameroon.
Haenni admitted that it often lacks African associations of money and resources to support women’s football. Also represented in South America, in Canada with three teams (Brazil, Colombia, Ecuador), still lacked the appropriate structures. As early as four years at the World Cup in France, said Haenni, such results will certainly be fit.
In the present, saw the Ivorian national coach Clementine Toure critical questions exposed. “. We have earned the place here We played against the best team in the world and competitions at this level are learning for our players in the best way,” Toure said, but admitted: “We were physically big problems. “
envy was against” proud and happy “that their choice of confidence for the difficult task on Thursday (22 clock / ARD) has tanked in the final edition of the European Championship-2013 against Norway. The World Champion from 1995 was the 4: 0 opener against Thailand, the second World Cup rookie of the group B, also little trouble. “This will be an even game, because they are tactically flexible, up to every trick and have many facets,” Neid said. Afterwards, Lena Goeßling noted, “we know perhaps better where we stand”
