10 days on from winning the Women's World Cup, the RFEF has found itself in chaos, refusing to do anything but stand by its President. Sadly, it's u-turn is too late...
Great piece, Rich! It has been absolutely surreal to watch these events unfolding with so little internal resistance in these institutions. This quote really got me thinking; I appreciate the approach that still honors the players when so many refuse to let them stay on the spotlight:
"And make no mistake, this will forever remain their greatest achievement. Spain may win more World Cups, but they will never have to win one enduring what this team has both pre and post-tournament. They have achieved world domination in spite of these poeple, not because of them."
I just published a newsletter on this topic too, trying to imagine a different scenario for Spain's post-World Cup: https://substack.com/inbox/post/136550160, in case you are interested in taking a look.
Beyond belief that UEFA haven't intervened and spelt out the position if Spain don't play. It's only 3 weeks away. Obviously, the Barcelona coach has a strong case for winning the award but the sensible thing would be to withhold it imo.

What on earth is going on with regards to Spain's Nations League games??
Surely they can't go ahead??
Also surely Vilda can't be at the UEFA Coach of the Year award ceremony......that award needs to be given to Sarina by default.
