Philippines coach Alen Stajcic said he could not have asked any more of his team despite a 6-0 hammering by Norway on Sunday which ended their Women's World Cup adventure.
Philippines’ head coach Alen Stajcic speaks during a press conference at the Eden Park in Auckland on July 29, 2023, ahead of their 2023 FIFA Women’s World Cup football match against Norway.
“They fought to the end. From that perspective it has been an amazing World Cup. The players have punched so far above their weight.” A Caroline Graham Hansen strike made it 3-0 at half-time, and an Alicia Barker own goal coupled with a Guro Reiten penalty meant it was 5-0 early in the second half. “It felt like a home game,” said Stajcic, the Australian who has previously coached his home country at the Women’s World Cup.“These players have really left their mark and left a legacy for future generations. I can’t ask any more. They gave everything.”
