Listening to the Tobin and Press You Tube discussion of the WC23 (which by the way has been one of the best with great guests that know the game), Tobin said she doesn't understand people not supporting the Spanish's team because of the coach; she said "support them because of the players."

Listening to the Tobin and Press You Tube discussion of the WC23 (which by the way has been one of the best with great guests that know the game), Tobin said she doesn't understand people not supporting the Spanish's team because of the coach; she said "support them because of the players." My dislike for Vilda goes back to when Vilda took over from the 2015 coach after a rebellion led by Vero against the previous coach and Vilda punished her by leaving her out of the team. He is absolutely a horses ass. I will support the Spanish team in the final and I hope it gives the players more leverage. I do like watching Spanish and Japanese style football the most.
It was fun last night watching Raso and Daly going at it. Not a lot of love lost there between those two.
We've talked about that in our household and I have settled, uneasily, on England. My opinion is that if Spain wins, FREF will say "See, we told you we know best" and then change nothing plus never listen to the players again. At this point, they will probably do that anyway. My other reason is that the players on the pitch are essentially scabs, especially the three apologists - if they had stood firm FREF would have had to either concede or close down the national team. Either choice means a housecleaning, especially the latter.
On the soccer side, it's not so easy. The labor action forced Vilda to bring in young players and they have showed up their elders. This change was needed anyway. And it's tough to not want the best for youngsters giving their all.
Yeah, that’s my biggest issue. Vilda is a miserable authoritarian as a manager (no idea if that reflects his personality, but it doesn’t seem like a stretch). And he’s gonna be unassailable because of this run, let alone if Spain lifts the Big Casino.
It’s hard not to get behind this lively group of young players putting on such a show of attractive soccer…but for me it’s the same problem I have with Newcastle. I’ve been a Toon supporter since the mid-Nineties. But the Saudis using them for sportswashing is just too far. As attractive as the team itself is, they’re a tool in the wrong hands.
As said above, low-key rooting for Spain, Vilda-mort notwithstanding. 'Cause it will add a bit more weight to my still-gutted protestations that Japan was the best team in the tournament. I'm shallow like that...
I'm also retired as of mid-day today! Completely irrelevant, but it's the kind of thing one shouts to the rooftops.
Welcome, my friend, to the post-working-show that never ends!
(Well…it does, but that’s the whole “dirt-nap” thing…)
Yeah, I kinda hate to hope for Spain because Vildamort (like it!) but the young Furia Rosa are so much fun! Plus I’m in the “fucking WSL enough already!”
