Why don't the women exchange jerseys?

I saw that too, but Martalooked like she was trying to explain and gesture to the change rooms - I wonder if it happened back stage ?

could it be something not encouraged by FIFA - which I can understand, can you imagine the youtube clip compilations of all these shirt exchanges and then the comments and attention given by some charming not-very-original members of the opposite gender (seems quite q few)? Won't really help to cultivate women professional soccer image

 

all women dont like showing off their sports bras in public. i'm assuming they do it off the field. why would they not do the gesture?

 

Why? so you can leer at women in sports bras?

Come on man.

whats your source?

 

Also Sweden is short of jerseys, so they can't afford to exchange jerseys after every game. (The Men's NT can always do it) It have been made demands on the federation to also give the women jerseys enough to exchange every game.

 

I have to correct myself. The Swedes actually have Jerseys enough for exchange this year. For the first time.

Low point. If she is remembered because she ripped off her shirt and not for her sterling career, well, that's pretty demeaning. It was certainly iconic, and since it happened heat of the moment, it was overall, pretty cool. But not necessarily a moment we want to try to replicate.

 

Josefine Öqvist gets off - her jersey, exchanges it with a stranger after a WWC match

Swedish striker Josefine Öqvist (who is #14 for Sweden) takes off and changes her jersey, gives to a fan (who is a complete stranger), trades for his shirt in return, and puts his shirt on her body before she begins to run off, and in the process she was exposing her entire upper front body, right in front of the male crowd. You can see people in the crowd taking pictures of her chest while the jersey exchange is happening.

Video is shown below.


Controversy perhaps?
Perhaps not.

And here's the "censored" version.
Not sure why it's censored.
She's wearing a sports bra.

I'm always amazed by how many around for for this dude's stick..it's getting quite lame, really.

Anyway, according to one ESPN article, the Brasilan FA has instructed Marta(and I assume the rest of her teammates) not to exchange jerseys until the end of the tournament.

Here's an article about the incident ..........

I don't see what's wrong with exchanging shirts at the end of the matches. If the men can do it, why can't the women too? It's football tradition is it not?

A sports bra is not exactly revealing or sexy, its .... a sports bra. It's not like the women are naked underneath their shirts so what's the scandal?

The only reason I think they don't is maybe the women aren't comfortable showing their bra out in front of a few people. Or the shirt they are wearing is literally the only shirt they own which I find hard to believe.

 

Re: Josefine Öqvist gets off - her jersey, exchanges it with a stranger after a WWC match

Big frigging deal

Now, when she whips off the sports bra and gives it to someone, THATS news!

 

Re: Josefine Öqvist gets off - her jersey, exchanges it with a stranger after a WWC match

I would have paid her $10.00 to do just that.
I would have then given her an extra $10.00 to purchase her sports bra.
She would have then made enough on-site cash to go to the concession stand after the match at the stadium, and buy herself a beer, hot dog, and soft pretzel with cheese dip, while wearing my cheap sunglasses that I traded to her as a token gift to her for her very own Swedish generosity.

 

Or, they can be just like Brandi Chastain, and only wear a soccer ball, as she claimed it's the only thing she was born with.

They probably don't want to exchange shirts for the same reason the men don't exchange their shorts on the field. Why don't men exchange shorts on the field? I mean, they'd just be standing there in underpants which is just like a swim suit?

 

Josefine certainly thinks there's nothing wrong with it ............

 

Well until this year it was for Sweden and we are not one of the poorest Womens programs so I guess only haveing one shirt or one shirt/torunamnet isn't that unusall. And if only one team can excanhge shirt after the game it will not be much exchanging done.

 

Agreed.

You want to see women in their bras? Join the Victoria's Secret mailing list.

Many women's teams have not been provided with enough jerseys by their federations to exchange shirts after every game.

kola you asked if Brandi Chastain was a high point or a low point. Was her making the pk that won the 1999 WWC a high point for the USWNT? Yes. Very much a high point. To focus on her celebration rather than what she was celebrating is, at best, ridiculous -- especially for a professed soccer fan.

You also fail to notice or remember that she was not the first or only player in the 1999 WWC to remove her shirt in celebration of a goal.
