I had a feeling they would drop it eventually for now. It was too late to make changes for this World Cup. I'm thinking they were laying the ground work to get this changed for future women's World Cup events. I think they have a gripe. Question: Does anyone know why they don't play in the same city as the men? Seems the easiest way would be to stage the men and women's World Cups one year apart in the same city and venues. Both genders get the grass fields and the cities get more bang for their buck as they spend a ton to build or renovate these stadiums and to host the events. It just seems to make sense to me. Others want this too including David Ginola who is planning on running for FIFA President.

With Ginola's idea, I'd say play the Women first then the Men. Or keep the location the same but play the Women a year later. I think the audience for the Women would be greatly reduced if they played right after the Men finished.
