LYON, France - United States co-captain Megan Rapinoe launched a scathing attack on world soccer’s governing body FIFA, on the eve of the women’s World Cup final, saying the organization did not respect the female game.
“It is terrible scheduling for everyone. As people who work in football, play in football, that is a terrible idea to put everything on the same day. In every way,” she said during the pre-final news conference. “The World Cup final is set so far in advance it is actually unbelievable. So no I don’t think that we feel the same level of respect, certainly that FIFA has for the men and just in general,” said Rapinoe.
