Was meaning to post this ages ago! ⬤ Espanyol up to 2nd Division: It looked like relegation for the Barcelona-based club in the Primera Division, but they survived. Instead, the Espanyol B-team won promotion from the 3rd to the 2nd Division in their playoff in August. So, maybe they had the A-team and B-team confused all along. The other lucky clubs going up to the Segunda are La Solana, Aldaia CF, and Joventut Almassora. ⬤ Nothing is Real: So, in 2019, there was excited hubbub for Real Madrid finally starting out in women's football, taking over Tacon, and running the team funded by Real Madrid, and broadcast on Real Madrid TV, and wearing Real Madrid logos before deleting them from the jersey after they lost 9-1 in their first match... ...So, that wasn't Real Madrid at all. But there's this new team, Real Madrid Women (est. July 2020), with a great history going all the way back to last week. I give up. BTW, @soccernutter, just wondering - if you met someone who lied and/or didn't know literally the first thing about the team they claimed to support, what advice would you give that person? Thanks www.bigsoccer.com/posts/38647474 (It didn't evem seem abnormal at the time...)
Hey, is there anywhere where people outside of Spain can watch these games live? Last year on the Primera Iberdrola website they would at least list the channels inside Spain showing the games, but this year I can't seem to find anything. I apologise in advance for my ignorance if there is an obvious answer to this question.
Not a silly question at all, even some clubs were hazy on that last year. It ended in court! Sevilla's channel is definitely streaming some of their matches - they also did for the away semifinal in the Copa de la Reina, at Barcelona 6-0: derrota del Sevilla FC Femenino en las semifinales de Copa ante un FC Barcelona muy superior www.youtube.com/watch?v=wB0v_YiJ3r8 This was last week's, in the league (week 2): Sevilla FC - Athletic Bilbao, 10 Oct 2020 www.youtube.com/watch?v=7HLdIfr-s9U If you can watch online "the Spanish way", the public broadcaster RTVE is showing/streaming 18 games this season, which is new: https://www.rfef.es/noticias/rtve-ofrecera-18-partidos-primera-iberdrola Gol TV still has the most matches, many of which show up later on a Youtube channel, Women Also Play. There's up-to-date info every week on Karlyboy71's TV page. Other clubs were streaming some games last season on their channels - Barcelona, Athletic Bilbao, and Real Madrid - but not sure about now.
Thanks for that. It appears to me that the Spanish League does seem to have very little interest in actually showing their games, which is a shame.
You aren't a big Sevilla fan, then? It can't be as simple as they don't care - the media deal was in dispute before. RFEF have seemingly got an agreement now with some clubs who hadn't allowed their home games to be shared, as RM and Barça are on TVE this year. (It also looks as if Barça TV showed this in week 2 - FC Barcelona vs EDF Logroño. Primera Iberdrola 2020/21. 2a jornada / youtube.com/watch?v=QZjGl_2mSMg&t=42s)
Atlético win the cup. And are putting some nice pieces together with Nchout, Diallo joining Castellanos and Ludmila in the attack.
Since I got suckered into a 3 month Barca TV subscription (what trial period?! [emoji849]) I figured I might as well use it to watch the women. Tonight was Barcelona v Betis and finished in 6-0 but didn't looks as well-oiled as they did a few months ago. Of course them swapping a few players every match doesn't really help in that regard. Don't know how regularly she plays there but Petri looked pretty good in the CD position tonight (listed as midfielder on the squad page). Some more playing time for my favourite spanish youth player in many years as well: Jana Fernández, destined to become Spanish NT right back for years to come if you ask me [emoji41].
Ha was it the old forgot to cancel after trial subscription? When the top of the table plays the bottom you would think Barca would have a really high possession rate and their central defenders would have their feet up and the remote or a good book in their hand I wonder how Nahikari Garcia is making out this year...
Turns out the trial period is only valid in certain countries [emoji38]. Kept reading throughout about trial periods and cancelling that I didn't think anything was odd about only having the choice of an annual or three month subscription. Lucky I chose the three month one then [emoji1]. (of course Barca is a team I support as well and seems they could use the money right about now [emoji23])

Real and Barça are really holding on to the dream of The Stupid League, eh? - "Super League trio face sanctions after nine clubs sign UEFA deal" - (AlJazeera.com) ...Sanctions? Like with a rogue state?

And two days later, they finally dropped points and unbeaten status to Atletico. With a B-team though: 👥 11 @FCBfemeni OFICIAL #AtletiBarça 👌 @stanleytools #ForçaBarça #PrimeraIberdrola pic.twitter.com/xL4KYNmpFt— FC Barcelona Femení (@FCBfemeni) June 1, 2021 ⏱ 94' | #AtletiBarça 4️⃣-3️⃣⏹ ¡Finaaaal! 🙌 ¡Partidazo para sumar tres nuevos puntos en casa!🔴⚪ #AúpaAtleti pic.twitter.com/ANND3jjej7— Atlético de Madrid Femenino (@AtletiFemenino) June 1, 2021
Atletico was in a rough stretch with Deyna Castellanos out injured, shut out 5/10 games with her gone. Her first game back starting and she picks up the winning goal and two assists against undefeated Barca. I think she might be a pretty important piece to that team. I'll be curious to see if she stays there if they don't make the champions league cutoff next season.
Just my confusion. I saw the Atletico and Levante posts next to each other above and merged them mentally.
Hot off the press: https://www.sport.es/es/noticias/futbol-femenino/plantilla-barca-femenino-pedido-adios-11836548 Barcelona players want Lluis Cortés gone https://www.sport.es/en/news/futbol...-for-coach-lluis-cortes-to-be-sacked-11836548 Maybe Man City will be paying attention
They want the coach who helped the club win the CL and other trophies to be gone because what? Doesn’t say why exactly, but I’m assuming because he was too hard on them mentally and physically.
Yes I assumed the same but there seems to be some speculation in the comments here it was tied to the Vicky Losada departure 🎙 Les valoracions de l'entrenador @Llcortes14 i la capitana @losada_vicky #FCBFemeni pic.twitter.com/mNqk0ylzR8— FC Barcelona Femení (@FCBfemeni) June 19, 2021
Yes, I'm curious about what problems the players had with Cortes. I read--on this board, I believe--that Oshoala wasn't happy, but I assume that's simply because she lost her starting role late in the season. ( think she started regularly for most of the season, but correct me if wrong). But there must have been more to it than players simply unhappy about limited playing time, as that is always on issue with some players on every team.
Meanwhile ... Barcelona have been decapitated by international duty losing both Mariona (metatarsal; 3-4 months) and Bruna (acl) in the space of a few days (but I guess it opens up an opportunity for Pina): 🏥 [COMUNICAT MÈDIC]@brunavilamala, amb una ruptura del lligament encreuat ▶ https://t.co/UsQJnq5AOzBruna, que se lesionó en un amistoso de la selección española sub-23, será intervenida próximamente ▶ https://t.co/8vAw8CHSo9#ÀnimsBruna 💪 pic.twitter.com/acbdN7GktP— FC Barcelona Femení (@FCBfemeni) October 26, 2021 🏥 [COMUNICAT MÈDIC]@mariona8co, entre 3 i 4 setmanes de baixa ▶ https://t.co/10bI1DxSxcMariona, con una fisura en el cuarto metatarsiano del pie izquierdo ▶ https://t.co/RGIDNAmKkY#FCBFemeni pic.twitter.com/ffjhNKKttZ— FC Barcelona Femení (@FCBfemeni) October 26, 2021
