Why do they need to consult them lol? The players and managers are the ones that they’re working against with these rules, because it’s them that are wasting the time. The commentators were also very dumb about it during the match, it was made clear that the rules are about all the little ways players waste time, from goal celebrations to throw ins to people being slow when they’re subbed off, but the commentators were talking about how there weren’t injuries. Painfully annoying

I’m South African, so I really, really wanted Nigeria to win against England of all teams. Haven’t felt that tense about a penalty shootout in ages, was borderline painful.

It sucks that Nigeria are out and sure they weren’t the most technical and offensive team in the tournament, but man they showed great commitment and I promise you African nations are going to be watching more of their women’s teams now. Proud of all of them, especially Ajibade who was just incredibly dynamic and determined the whole match.

I wonder if this being sorted means they’ll move for a winger now. Seem light in that department

That actually clears it up a lot for me, thanks. So it’s less about it being Juve and more about his actions and him toying with their plans.

I didn’t consider that and if you look at the list a lot of them are indeed Italian. There are some notable ones who aren’t Italian though, like Zlatan, Patrick Viera, Edgar Davids, Brazilian Ronaldo and Seedorf.
