Whos been ferried out throughout the tournament is among those who are less than impressed with this scheduling decision now is of course a bit of a distraction from the womens World Cup Final which is you know the biggest game in this 4 doesnt really convince anybody that the womens game is held in very high esteem now. Responsible for scheduling those 2 finals are actually in the case of the cup america comma bowl the south American Federation and in the case of the gold cup concord caf now a victim of the boss of congress about this recently he admitted that it had been an oversight that it was a mistake he said it wouldnt happen again but the.
