Last update 6 April, 2024 by Alberto Llopis

The female superliga, Like the rest of sports competitions hurries their last days, And in the absence of only 3 points for playing, we already know the champion, the eight teams that will compete in the Queen's Cup and those that will live in hell next year. Like every month, At Colgados we dedicate a little corner to women's football.

Sporting de Huelva sealed their qualification to compete in said competition by winning by 2-1 to Barcelona, that weeks ago had revalidated its League title. This way, The Catalans suffered their first defeat in the domestic championship and saw how the Huesca team ended their unbeaten record, nothing more and nothing less than 56 games the culés had gone without losing in the League. The rest of the teams that occupy the first eight places are: Athletic Bilbao, Atlético de Madrid, Valencia, Rayo Vallecano, Levante and Real Sociedad. However, Unfortunately everything seems to indicate that due to financial problems the girls from Huelva may not be able to attend.

At the bottom of the table, the places that lead to relegation have also been defined lately.. Granada saw how its girls were beaten by 4-0 to Transportes Alcaine in a totally inconsequential match, since the Andalusians are mathematically Second Division, like the bottom player Levante Las Planas. Both teams, They occupied the bottom of the table for too many days, They have not been able to reverse the situation and unfortunately they will face each other in the last game of the season. A clash that will be repeated next year in the Second Division.

As far as the Champions League is concerned, el F.C. Barcelona, Super League champion, enjoyed for the first time the quarterfinals of the highest competition in Europe. A confrontation against Wolfsburg, in which the Catalans were clearly surpassed in both games, with an overall result of 5-0 for the Germans. Yet, The culés surely enjoyed their first experience and learned for future qualifying rounds.. The final will be played by Tyresso, from Boquete and Marta, and the current champion, Wolfsburg.

On the contrary, The Spanish women's team continues to reap positive results in its qualifying phase for the World Cup in Canada 2015. They recently traveled to Italy, where, both the Trasalpinas and the Spanish players played everything for everything in a vital clash. The match was vibrant, and despite the 0-0 In the end both teams had clear chances. The Italians hit the woodwork up to three times., by one of the Spanish, but it should be noted that Verónica Boquete missed a maximum penalty. The draw favored Spain and maintains the distance in the table with Italy.

Ignacio Quereda's girls added the three points in Macedonia with another overwhelming victory against the weakest in the group. The countdown ends shortly and there are only three finals left to play to be in Canada 2015 mathematically. Next in Estonia next 8 from May to 17.00 hours.

Of course we don't want to forget the little sisters, And from Colgados por el futbol we want to congratulate you and highlight the runner-up position achieved by Spain under-17 in the World Cup in Costa Rica. In the final they fell against the clear favorite, Japan, 2-0, Even so, the Spanish had a more than remarkable championship, almost immaculate. congratulations girls!

Brigit Prinz

Named footballer of the year by FIFA in the years 2003, 2004 y 2005, this German “killer” born in 1977 She is the top scorer in the World Cup so far with 14 many. Withdrawal from 2011, He wore the Germany shirt even in 214 occasions scoring a whopping 128 goals. He has an unrivaled track record with two World Cups and another runner-up finish., in addition to three bronze medals at the Sydney Olympic Games, Athens and Beijing.

Tireless scorer, He has dozens of titles in Germany and it is worth noting that he made his debut for his country at the young age of 16 years scoring the winning goal in that game against Canada. However, what is most striking about Brigit Prinz's career may be that in the year 2003 He was about to sign for AC Perugia, a men's team. The Italian team in a publicity effort made a good offer to Prinz, but she rejected it. It would have been very interesting to see the best striker of the moment earn her bread among manly defenses and why not?, seeing him score goals against goalkeepers like Buffon or Dida in Seria A. Bried Prince is undoubtedly, one of the best scorers in history.
