Tranquillo Barnett was the only player who earned a yellow card in 120 minutes of what does not deserve to be called football, "reads the publication.

Recall that then the team Oleg Blokhin managed to get to the quarterfinals of Mundial, where she lost to the Italian team with a score of 3: 0. As for the match with Switzerland, there "blue-yellow" secured a victory in the penalty shootout (3: 0). The main time ended with a goalless draw - 0: 0.
