Error demands context, an explanation. Spain was allowed to tie a victory made against Sweden (28-28), stumbled at the doors of the Pre-Olympic, stumbled in the way of the semifinals, but the joy is so great in this World Cup in Japan, so unthinkable has achieved so far, That can only be considered an accident. A failure to forgive.
The past and, above all, the future demand indulgence.
The selection arrived at the championship after his own burial, after the disappearance in 2014 of the mythical Itxako and the withdrawal of the medalists in the London 2012 Games - Marta Mangué , Eli Pinedo ... - nothing was expected and, suddenly, ¡¡ miracle! The resuscitation, the resurrection. After four championships in critical condition, to say goodbye to the last European with only one victory, despite the tie the team led by Carlos Viver remains in second position of the main phase of this World Cup and that deserves celebration. If he wins on Tuesday for the already eliminated Japan, he will be in the Pre-Olympic Championship that places places in the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games and can still be worth a draw on the last day on Wednesday against the current Olympic champion, Russia, to be in the semifinals.
The victory against Sweden and almost closed would have facilitated everything, but, said, the youth of the team is an excuse. After several years of hardship, the survivors of the golden generation, the goalkeeper Silvia Navarro or the side Nerea Pena , finally joined a young group out of nowhere and that explains the improvement and, at the same time, the mistakes. The Alicia Fernández power station , the Almudena Rodríguez side or the Ainhoa Hernández pivot, aged 26 and 25, the first two emigrated to Romania and Germany, are proof that talent continues to appear, although now the level of the league makes it difficult.
With their game and their concentration - a loss in the first 20 minutes - they led an excellent first half of the game (14-6 in the 24th minute) and, with their precipitation and nerves, they ended up cheering for the Swedish team that tied In the very last moment. Spain appeared in the last 11 minutes with six goals of advantage (25-19), but a concatenation of mistakes and the performance of the Swedish side Mikaela Massing matched the score.
The mistake may weigh the national team in the next matches, but after what was achieved in the first phase the team deserves to be forgiven and finish the job.
