New Zealand women’s football manager Tony Readings could find himself in some hot water after a serious lack of sportsmanship at the FIFA Women’s World Cup.
Following a 2-2 tie between China and New Zealand that resulted in New Zealand’s elimination from the tournament, China women’s manager Hao Wei went to shake Tony Readings’ hand, but the soon-to-be-headed-home manager balked at the gesture and refused to shake his colleague’s hand.
New Zealand struck first in the match with a score from Rebekah Scott at the 28′ mark, but a controversial handball penalty that upon review was clearly not led to a penalty kick for China that Wang Lisi converted into a game-tying point.
In the second half, China striker Wang Shanshan gave her team the 2-1 edge on a close range header. A late score by New Zealand striker Hannah Wilkinson was not enough to help her team rally, and the 2-2 tie led to New Zealand’s elimination from the the World Cup.
