ANDhe Women’s World Cup is not only played on the pitch, but also in the press room and on social media. In the preview of Spain-Netherlands, beerensteyn was asked about the elimination of the United States and the player did not hold her tongue: “The first thing I thought when I saw that I was eliminated was: ‘Okay, bye’. From the first moment they were already talking about the final, they were too ‘mouthy’. And sometimes you have to talk less and do more on the pitch”.
These words have stung a lot in the United States locker room and the Americans have had to wait just over 24 hours to hit back at beerensteyn. Has been sydney leroux which, through social networks, has launched a tweet in a clear direction: “One thing we’ve learned is to wait to talk shit until after you’re on the podium with a gold medal because now… you say goodbye too”.
Lineth Beerensteyn’s stick to the USA: “They were too big-mouthed. Sometimes you have to talk less…”
It does not seem that this dialectical war is going to end here and, presumably, the next clashes between the two teams will have an important additional interest.
