what is he alleged to have done that is so bad? that article doesn’t really elaborate. Is it a #metoo thing or is he just making them run up too many hills in training?

No details. Not sure if it's a Partey/Anonymous Arsenal Player situation where everyone around the team knows all the details but the papers stay quiet on it for some reason. 15 players refusing to play for you is quite a lot, though.

Yeah, there are no women footballers whose legs are insured for £100 million, their wages are not astronomical in any way and most national federations barely support women's teams still. The girls play because they really want to, they juggle having kids, studying or working with playing. They are infinitely cooler than male footballers.

As someone who had zero interest in football or the World Cup until this one (go Matildas) this seems extremely true. I always thought I didn’t like football, turns out it was just men’s football and all the ego and pomp that goes with it I didn’t like

France had a similar problem with a universally hated manager that refused to call up Lyon players but she was finally sacked last year.

wtf, why Lyon?

Though to be fair, I’d probably be just as much of a spiteful poo poo and never pick Man U players in a similar position.

Not to be disingenuous to any of the players, but at least with the womens teams if they go down on the pitch there's probably a higher chance of that being an actual injury - as they don't have the luxury of being male prima donnas

As opposed to the mens where they'll go down at the drop of the hat.

They don’t give these offsides anymore. You aren’t interfering if you’re just standing there, even if you’re near the keeper.
