LYON, France - The future of the Netherlands women’s football team looks bright after the fast-improving ‘Oranje’ added a World Cup runners-up spot to their European title, according to their coach - as long as investment continues in the game.
“I think that since 2017 we have done a good job and we would have loved to win this final but our opponents were better today,” Sarina Wiegman told a news conference. The Dutch kept the Americans at bay for an hour, but a 61st-minute VAR-awarded penalty ruined their chances. After Megan Rapinoe converted the spot kick, Rose Lavelle doubled the tally as the U.S. piled on the pressure.
“I also think in earlier times, women were not accepted in football, and now they’re more accepted, but a little behind, Wiegman added. “When you’re behind, you need to work harder to get it equal. We need to encourage more women to get involved in football.”
