As for whether they should have gone? Well, I think they should have gone to support their husbands/boyfriends, but I don't think the FA should have paid for them.
I know that the players don't get paid much for playing in the national teams, but they *do* earn tens of thousands of pounds per week, and I am bloody sure that being picked for your national team helps build up the wages at your home club.
I personally think that the hundreds of thousands the FA spent on taking the WaGs would have been better spent on training up younger players (schemes to help schools, that sort of thing).

Hundreds of Thousands?
I don't think it was quite that much to take them out there...
Anyway, so just because some of the WaGs don't have their own public careers, they're not worthy? Many of them have children with their respective partners (Alex Curran for example) and want to be with their husbands etc on occasions like the World Cup. What's the problem? If I don't have any money because I'm at home looking after two children under three, I'll spend my husbands if I need to. Just so happens that their husbands tend to have a little more money than mine!
