U.S. Soccer Federation President Carlos Cordeiro is pleased FIFA listened to his requests for video review to be used at the Women’s World Cup. Now he’s urging the FIFA Council to make it official.FIFA’s delay in deciding whether to deploy VARs raised concerns among coaches and players that the women’s showpiece in France wouldn’t have the same technology made available to the men’s World Cup last year.But The Associated Press reported Monday that Women’s World Cup referees are now in training with video assistant referees in Qatar Cheap Mexico Soccer Team Uniform , allowing FIFA’s top decision-making body to approve them for the June 7-July 7 tournament in France.“We think it’s very important for VAR to be part of the Women’s World Cup,” Cordeiro told the AP on Tuesday. “U.S. Soccer has been advocating for this at all levels and I know that FIFA has been listening to us, and to others.“In fact, at a FIFA summit of member association presidents just a few weeks ago (in Morocco), I spoke to this very point. We have seen just how successful it was in Russia and believe that success can be replicated in France.”FIFA has announced a pool of 27 referees and 47 assistant referees for the Women’s World Cup and training is taking place in seminars and on the field with VAR to gain the necessary experience.While the Women’s World Cup referees and their assistants are women, most of the VARs are men, with some having gained experienced at the World Cup in Russia. No domestic women’s competition currently uses VAR.“It’s important for the game, for fans around the world and www.thetopsoccer.com/national-team-kit/portugal , of course, for our players on the field that we do everything possible to include VAR at the Women’s World Cup,” Cordeiro said.The FIFA Council will be able to approve VAR for the Women’s World Cup at a meeting March 14-15 in Miami. LONDON (AP) — The squad has been publicly undermined. There’s been grumbling about the lack of contact from the owner. And the team was just handed its biggest loss in 28 years.Maurizio Sarri’s reign at Chelsea already looks like it’s approaching the end, and he’s not even completed a season.“My job,” Sarri said after Sunday’s humiliating 6-0 loss at Manchester City, “is always at risk.”Such is the life of a Chelsea manager, at the whims of one of the most impatient owners in the Premier League.Signing a three-year contract — as Sarri did — means little when you are working for Roman Abramovich and there’s a risk you won’t qualify for the Champions League.Winning the Premier League counted for little when Antonio Conte finished fifth a year later. Even lifting the FA Cup couldn’t save Conte from being replaced by Sarri for this season.Now Chelsea is even worse off, slumping to sixth place after another poor showing on the road. The loss at City wasn’t just a blip but part of a worrying trend for this erratic boost-and-bust club Cheap Russia Soccer Team Uniform , where success is often the forerunner for an implosion.Three weeks ago, Sarri tried berating his players to the media after a 2-0 loss at Arsenal.“It appears this group of players is extremely difficult to motivate,” Sarri said.They proved him right 11 days later with a 4-0 loss at Bournemouth, a team in the bottom half of the standings. That seems to be a greater embarrassment than Sunday at the Etihad Stadium — a stark reversal after Chelsea ended City’s unbeaten start with a 2-0 win at Stamford Bridge in December.The one place Sarri could find some sympathy on Sunday is from City manager Pep Guardiola.Just as Guardiola’s philosophy was being dismissed as unsuitable for England back then, so now is the much-vaunted Sarri-ball the former Napoli coach has imported to England. Much like Guardiola’s style, Sarri’s tactics rely on free-flowing ball movement fused with constant running and relentless attacking.“People don’t understand how difficult the first year can be,” Guardiola said, reflecting on City scraping into third place in 2017. “In my first year www.thetopsoccer.com/national-team-kit/spain , we could not play in the way I wanted.”Sound familiar?“I didn’t see my football,” Sarri complained at City. “We need to understand the reason, it’s not easy.”Not what Abramovich wants to hear.Although, as Sarri remarked Sunday, “I never hear from him.”The Russian billionaire, currently denied a British visa, gave the coach the players he needed to adapt the Sarri-ball system to the Premier League, reshaping the team with imports from Napoli.The first arrival was center midfielder Jorginho Cheap USA Soccer Team Uniform , one of the key cogs in that Napoli team. Sarri also landed Mateo Kovacic from Real Madrid. But the Italian has never settled on his midfield.Inserting Jorginho into the team has disrupted N’Golo Kante, taking the 2017 player of the year’s defensive midfield shield role. Sarri also can’t decide between Kovacic and Ross Barkley.Sarri has been reunited with striker Gonzalo Higuain, on loan from Juventus, with Alvaro Morata sent to Atletico Madrid last month. With two goals in four games, Higuain has some way to go to prove he is the solution to Chelsea’s long-standing striking struggles.So often Eden Hazard has been deployed as the False Nine. With the winger constantly agitating for a move, and one full season remaining on his current contract, Chelsea has a fight on its hands keeping the team’s one world-class player.In a culture of short-termism youth is rarely given a chance, leaving academy graduates with few opportunities for first-team experience at Chelsea.The signing of Christian Pulisic from Borussia Dortmund for next season has threatened the status of Callum Hudson-Odoi Cheap Bayern Munich Soccer Shirts , the 18-year-old forward who had been pushing to leave Chelsea last month. Ruben Loftus-Check, a 23-year-old midfielder, has had to go across London to Crystal Palace on loan to get playing time.When Abramovich looks across London, the Russian will see how Mauricio Pochettino — often out of necessity because of a lack of transfer funds — has promoted youngsters to the first team and excelled. Tottenham is now 10 points ahead of Chelsea in third place despite not making a single signing in the last year.Pochettino and Sarri have something in common: Neither has won a trophy as a manager.Through all the instability, Chelsea has still won 15 trophies since Abramovich bought the club in 2003 while going through almost as many permanent managers.Sarri can end his trophy drought in two weeks in the League Cup final. Just one problem — the opponent is Manchester City.
