La décision d'ITV a exposé Emma Hayes à des critiques injustes concernant son analyse de l'équipe d'Angleterre.

A cursory search of social media provides a grim taste of the sort of misogyny Emma Hayes has to face every time she appears on TV. England's World Cup opener against Croatia saw Hayes beamed into the living rooms of millions who wouldn't normally watch football. And sadly that increased exposure means increased unpleasantness. The former Chelsea women and current United States women head coach was not part of the punditry line-up. ITV used their first-choice trio of Roy Keane, Gary Neville and Ian Wright in their Brooklyn studio.
