This has happened before, but it is very rare. Do you think the players should start doing this more as a tradition? Ali Riley after she exchanges for a Mexican shirt after their 2011 WWC match ends in a dramatic 2-2 draw.
I would prefer what Swede, Josefina Oqvist does; exchange t-shirts with this one lucky German fan(notice the kiss at the end)
They do it in the dressing room. A Scotland player tweeted today a picture of the Canadian shirt she exchanged yesterday. I also remember seeing on facebook an England player that went clubbing with a France shirt she had exchanged at the U19 euros in 2010 lol
They are not allowed to take off their shirt in the US if the game is being covered by ESPN or FOX SPORTS because you can't show your t*** on live television. So they go behind the scenes in some secret room to exchange sweaty shirts
Ya. Thanks for the clarification about what FOX and ESPN will show at a women's sporting event in the USA.
Shlj and somehow Sisterluke are right , they exchange it in the dressing room or in the tunnel after the game .
Yes, they should. It's a great tradition in the men's game, and it should be part of the women's game too. As for the few people who don't want to look at women in their sports bras...they should just turn the TV off.
They would have a sports bra on. I could see it being a big deal, if one of the players forgot to wear a bra. If they're in a sports bra, it's no bigger of a deal than instant replay showing this in the men's game ....
After the Cyprus Cup final, players exchanged shirt outside the dressing room in the mixed zone and it was quite funny because the French girls didn't speak English and obviously same the other way. One wanted a GK shirt another refused number 5 because it was a shite number. In the end, I just acted as a translator to help them solve the problems.
Public pitch shirt exchange needs to become a firm tradition, between all levels of women's football. It will help grow the game worldwide.
