Queer. How could one punish a trainer if his team is so superior that it wins by a stellar lead?

The German women's national football team has defeated some of the opposing teams of past years by two digits to nill or one, because there simply are not enough competitive national teams out there. Should they be punished for the lacking competitiveness of others out there?

I accept an argument that when you have clearly decided a match, you must not push things to the limits by unleashing even more pressure than before. It is reasonable to save your prime players instead (but only when the victory is indeed clear and safe). But after the German football team mauled the Brazilians at the world chmapionshiop, there too were thos eocmplaining thta the Germans should have stopped shooting goals after the 4:0 or so. What...? Is it the strong team's obligation to help strengthening its opponent? Has socialism's robber mentality now even hijacked sports competition?

Instead, the trainer of the defeated team should be "punished": for having done a lousy job in preparation. Or the official organising the tournament or league - for having done a lousy job in creating adequate league classes.

But you cannot complain about the trainer of the victorious team, not as long as he has not used immoral means to achieve that victory. If he just does a good job and has good players - then hell, let them shoot the stars off the sky.

The educational ideals behind this sanctionising of success, imo are highly questionable.

And this: who who does sports and plays in a team and competes, wants to be given a feeling that the other side is giving him some scores as a gift of mercy only? Now that really makes you feel bad, I tell you. I played volleyball in my school team 30 years ago. We once had that situation, a team from another school so superior that they slaughtered us. At the end they completely withdrew their first line, and had only reserve players in the match who played a lazy ball and just chuckled when we scored, which happened rarely enough. And that hurt us much more than the first part of the match when we got slaughtered by a superior opponent. It was that bad that three players after that disaster left the school team.
