They have to. Otherwise who is going to watch sub-standard games between women? Sub-standard games between women who have multiple World Cup and European titles to their name! No point wasting time. (Please note: heavy sarcasm)
FIFA Women’s World Cup is starting in less than a month and teams from all over the world have started promoting the event.
The German football team put out a great video to make this point. The 8-time European Champions and 2-time World Cup winners don’t want people to know their names, they just want them to know what they want to do. And that is winning the cup.
From winning a tea set after their first title (yeah, no joke) to facing prejudices all their life, these women aren’t bothered by the fact that they play for a nation that doesn’t even know them.
They are also not bothered by comments like:

Team Germany throwing straight 🔥🔥🔥
