spent the night celebrating their success with thousands of delighted fans in madrid, spain's victory over england in sunday's final deliver it. a 1st women's world cup to the european nation and they received a you're always welcome in the spanish capital upon their arrival. yet, and number of prophecies surrounding the team before and off to the tournament at richmond, to derail the way for me. and then you also know database sports is with me, a professional pay of herself is paid in several countries including spain. it's really good to have you in the student. it was such a phenomenal tournament, spectacular football on the page and explains victory. we've got to be honest, not many people thought it would come to this. yeah, i mean, it's a massive victory for spain. of course, this is their 1st world cup final and they want to walk up with the 1st time. now this is the fruit of many, many years of development and will miss the button span. i mean,

you could really see that when i was playing where they were headed somewhere big, there's a lot of talent in that country. but leading up to this tournament that talent wasn't seemed to win the world cup because there's a long standing. the dispute between the players and the federation, by those criticisms about their coach, the professionalism inside the team. this created a lot of divided because they say essentially back the coach. they said, we're not going to do anything about this and can't on very heavy on the players that also create a divide within the team between barcelona players and real madrid players. and that is exactly what you, we want leading into a tournament. it also cause many of spans best players to not be at the tournament because they were protesting the condition. so there was a lot going on off the pits and it kind of leaves almost a bitter taste in our miles about their victory. because it's almost like it could be forgotten the flight of the players and kind of, if you don't know the whole situation makes as they look like they were right. right. so the other control vesee that's obviously now dominating the headlines,

taking away from what these remarkable women achieved on the page is the actions of the football. the spanish football federation president told us, tell us a little bit more about that. right, so uh spanish as a president, luis ruby alice, there was video of him when the players were getting their metals. he essentially grabs the head of one of the players jennifer her most so. and he kisses her on the most. he was excessively celebrating with a lot of players, but that was something that took it a step further. now, it caused outrage all over the world. it gets a little bit worse too, because then in the locker room after the game, there were many players on instagram live. you could see that they were asking jennifer her most all about it. she said she didn't like it, but what could she do? also then she comes into the locker room and he's got his arm around her or anything. okay. we're going to go to the visa to celebrate our wedding. so really kind of unaware of what he had done initially, he defended himself, but after the all of the public outrage, he came back and he said, okay, i made a mistake. i got carried away. um,

but really this is kind of an ugly reminder of the sexism scandals that have gone on in woman's football and in spanish, women's football, ruby. alice was one of the people who was accused of not really taking woman's football seriously. not really respecting it. and he was also one of the people who essentially didn't listen to the players inside and with the face. so it leaves the players in a bad situation, right? very quickly done here before i let you go, i just want to get your overall sense of this tournament and, and it's, and they can see a fantastic tournament on the pitch. we saw a changing of the guard usa, germany, countries like that out of the tournament. early we saw new winner, we also saw record smash. in terms of attendance viewership, it earned over 570000000 euros, which is seconds to only the mens woke up. so it shows the enormous growth and potential of women's football moving forward. well, incredible stuff and just great to see what was accomplished on the 1st day in australia and it's always good talking to you about this. we appreciate your

insights and you're watching dw news life from berlin. and reminder of our top story, thailand's full, the prime minister time since you know what has been quailed for 8 years on long standing corruptions related charges. he was arrested upon returning to back off, off to 15 years. and so 1st it's all you're up to date. i'll see you next time by the evening was like a stepping point. you know, time what you into that warranty wants to finish your studies. now you have a safety from your train. you can choose to go back to somewhere else currently more people than ever on the world wide in such a passion, life categories, something that is coming very very soon. and yeah,
