This week's five speaking points from women's football include: the Bundesliga wrap things up for 2020, SC Sand struggling, Manchester United significance business and players criticizing the FIFA Women's World XI. It has been a long year, filled with ups and downs. Full of breaks and restarts, worry and hope. The Women's Bundesliga wrapped up their 2020 on Sunday together with the very first games of the second round of fixtures. The teams now are off to enjoy a pleasant winter break prior to returning to coaching in January. Bayern Munich remain on top, five points ahead of Wolfsburg, and a tight title race is likely in the next half of the season.
An 8-0 property loss against FC Bayern in their last game of the year -- SC Sand are still underperforming in the Bundesliga. After 12 matches Nora H?uptle's team have dropped ten and won two. H?uptle is the only woman running as head coach in the Bundesliga and certainly has a large task ahead after her side dropped to a relegation spot. The team definitely has a lot of potential, however, is currently failing to exploit that. They need more fight in 2021.
Last week, Hoffenheim came in third, the best finish in their background. They impressed by promoting young talents to a higher level, the Bundesliga, although playing good football. Ahead of the year they got a brand new head coach and it had been about demonstrating where they actually stand.
Could they repeat their success or was it a 1 time only deal? Once 12 played games this year, the answer is apparent: Hoffenheim have been in third position again, with won eight, drawn once and lost just three occasions. They are also the next most prolific team supporting Wolfsburg and Bayern. Gabor Gallai's team underlined their amibtions by handing Turbine Potsdam, a clear competition for the third spot, a well deserved 5-0 beating Sunday.
It had been just two years ago the Manchester United declared their intention to reintroduce an women's soccer team. Their beginning from the 2018-2019 FA Women's Championship marked the club's return to women's football following a thirteen-year lack. They immediately gained promotion that year and also have been part of the FA Women's Super League since. They've an excellent trainer in Casey Stoney and place a major announcement by earning players such as Tobin Heath and Christen Press earlier this season. Considering different groups still have games available after postponements, there's plenty still to play -- but you need to acknowledge the immense potential this Manchester aspect is bringing to the table lately. If they continue like this, they won't only be a hazard in England, but in addition internationally.
