Sounds like a typical case of management not listening to athletes

Nigerian federation has a very bad opinion and publicity so there s a chance to shine for them

But here at my place really a lot of kids play football. Lots of them. Everybody wants to be another Lewandowski .

 

A lot of girls started to train football recently as well . This is sth new. Few years ago it wasn’t like that .

And no concrete pitch anymore. They have beautiful grass pitches here

 

I would add a photo here but all my photos are too large and i don’t know how to do it. Sb explsained it to me before but i forgot it

 

In Italy we have been promoting women's football a lot lately and broadcasting matches NT womens team on public TV: Rai Due, I think, recently for the European Championships, although until recently the effects were quite poor.

Yeah, but as far as I know they have left it too late, usually appeals have to be lodged within 30 minutes I think.  So they are true to form.

Maybe @Dragon meant the original protest came from them?

My impression was it was Jury Decision based on extra cameras, then instant US Appeal to reverse, and that's where it stands.  It's usual possible for a team to appeal -  do it to  every damn time. But like I say, t think there's a time limit because obviously at this point everyone has gone home to bed.
