Funny news. I don’t want to discuss gender issues (since this is offtopic and for many people is a hot topic), I’m just wondering how is this even possible - uncertainty? I remember that 20-30 years ago there were scandals with the fact that many adult football players played in the youth teams of Nigeria, but now they cannot appear out of nowhere and information about age and gender can be traced until birth.
Yeah, sorry, it is perhaps slightly off topic, but these games are actually FIFA-governed games for AFC (which Jordan and Iran are members of), which actually determine qualification into FIFA World Cup, albeit for the women's version of the tournament, for which there is, unfortunately, no correct sub-thread for me to add this comment into (or is there and I can't find it?).
The keeper has played for her whole life as a woman, of course, as I'm finding out now. Just funny that a team only challenges the decision AFTER they lose a game. Go Iran!
As a side comment, I have followed women's football recently and they have vastly, vastly improved over the past 5/10 years. Technically speaking, they're quite high quality in some countries, which wasn't the case 10 years ago, based on my admittedly limited observation.
I think it's okay to discuss women's football here. This is one competition, after all.
Yes, I also don’t like the claims that are made after the match, it always looks like an excuse and an attempt to change the result and it doesn’t look fair, because if they got the result they want, then everything would be ok for them.
Okay,
he sure does look like a man and I honestly don't know what to say. I do not think it's something like that but my eyes are saying something different. And if it is something like that then I wanted how this happened and how this player got so far.
Appearance is often deceiving. For example, when I look at weightlifters, I cannot understand who is a man and who is a woman
