The men’s Bundesliga starts when the final weekend of the women’s World Cup is coming up. Why you can call that despising women’s football.
Is Bonmati the best at the World Cup or should we really be talking about Harry Kane? Photo: reuters
Sorry! I admit it. I’ve spoken to someone about Harry Kane three times this week. I’ve also discussed the chances of newly promoted Heidenheim and Darmstadt in the upcoming Bundesliga season in men’s football. I didn’t watch the Supercup between this RB Leipzig and the men from FC Bayern. At least I did that. But it’s not easy to avoid men’s football during the World Cup that’s currently underway.
Am I too weak to resist all the madness of men’s football? Or aren’t the usual suspects responsible for the fact that I sometimes discuss another nonsense transfer to the Saudi Superliga or whatever that thing down there is called, instead of about who will be named the best player of this World Cup? The dark forces of international football? Sure, Fifa is to blame! And Uefa! And the DFB!
How is it actually possible that the Bundesliga season of the man images starts on the weekend when the World Cup is decided? Why is the World Cup so late in the year? It’s not a godsend in football that there are such overlapping appointments.
They lead to that on the journal’s website kicker the coverage of the DFB men’s cup, the latest men’s Bundesliga transfers, the last friendly matches of the men’s Bundesliga teams, the matches of the second and third-class men, the season opener in Saudi Arabia, the Premier League and other international leagues as well as Lionel Messi’s recent goal in the USA against some club no one has ever heard of before the results from New Zealand and Australia.
Gents first
The calendars could have been coordinated better. Better: You could finally start coordinating the calendars of women and men in such a way that the events don’t get in each other’s way. But how is that supposed to work if the calendar for the men is put together first, in which Fifa determines the international game windows for men, after which Uefa coordinates the framework schedule for the men’s European Cup competitions and finally the DFB, coordinated with this, its men’s football calendar determines.
The fact that he didn’t manage to postpone the start of the season by at least a week in order to give the World Cup final the full attention of football fans can be described as ignorant. Or as hostile to women’s football.
Uefa even managed the feat of hosting their own U19 European Championship during the World Cup. Why actually? So that nobody is watching? The appointment management of international football gives a more than clear indication of the importance of women’s football in the associations. It can’t be particularly high.
