There is a cheat storm erupting on the FIFA Women’s World Cup after imaginative and prescient and audio of Holland coach Andries Jonker ordering a participant to “sit down” seemingly to feign damage emerged.
Defender Stefanie van der Gragt scored the one purpose because the Dutch started their marketing campaign with victory below a closed roof in Dunedin towards the World Cup debutants.
It was not a wholly convincing efficiency but it surely units the Netherlands up for a mouthwatering Group E showdown on Thursday with the USA, who started their bid for a 3rd straight title with a 3-0 win over Vietnam.
Video posted to social media exhibits what seems to be Joner instructing Daniëlle van de Donk to “sit down” on the sphere regardless of being up on her ft.
After a brief protest with Donk saying it “Daphne could do it: (we assume Daphne van Domselaar), the midfielder duely sits down on the field and waits for the ref to come over.
During this break in play, Jonker is surrounded by his players working through set pieces and barking out instructions.
Not to sound too Ashes-like but, not really in the spirit of the game is it?
