The women's football World Cup and the controversy / EL Mundial de fútlbol femenino y su polémica

from Hablando Claro · host Clara Arnuncio

For the Spanish, football is almost a religion. I don't know if we are at the same level as the Argentinians or the Brazilians, but we are close. This summer we were crowned world champions - in the feminine, because I'm talking about the Women's World Cup. Women's football is not followed as closely as men's football, but this was a special occasion. Spain weren't the favourites and no broadcaster wanted to show the Women's World Cup. They thought there wouldn't be enough viewers. In the end it was RTVE (not because they wanted to, but because it is public television and they have no other option). The fact is that the audience soared, Spain started winning and reached the final. The whole country was with the players and in the end the audience was over 6 million. And we won. And it was incredible. But the celebrations and the players' achievements were overshadowed by something that happened at the end of the game that was very controversial and very sad, especially for the players. Do you want to know what happened? I'll tell you in this new episode of the podcast. Para los españoles el futbol es casi como una religión. No sé si llegamos al nivel de entusiasmo de los argentinos o brasileños, pero estamos cerca. Y este verano nos coronamos campeonas del mundo. Y digo campeonas porque estoy hablando del mundial de futbol femenino. El futbol femenino no tiene tanto seguimiento como el masculino, pero este caso ha sido especial. España no partía como favorita, y ninguna cadena de televisión quería retransmitir el mundial porque pensaban que no iba a tener audiencia. Finalmente se encargó RTVE (No porque quisieran, sino porque es la televisión pública y no tuvo más remedio). El caso es que la audiencia se disparó. España empezó a ganar y llegó a la final, y todo el país se volcó con las chicas, teniendo la final una audiencia de 6 millones de personas. Y ganamos. Increíble. Pero, toda la celebración y el mérito de las jugadoras pasó a un segundo plano por algo que sucedió al terminar el partido y que ha sido MUY polémico y triste, sobre todo para las jugadoras. ¿Quieres saber qué pasó? Te lo cuento en este nuevo episodio del Podcast
