AshtonRobin21 Posted July 31, 2022 Report Share Posted July 31, 2022 What an incredible advert for women's football! As a dad to two young daughters, and as a primary school PE teacher who tries to promote a pathway for female inclusion in sport, this is special to see. What a huge statement that is for both the current and the next generation. 8 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Celebrate this for the incredible achievement this is for the girls. No need to draw lazy comparisons to the mens game. Both different & it’s a completely irrelevant point anyway.

Robbored Posted July 31, 2022 Report Share Posted July 31, 2022 Well deserved victory! the game management after going 2-1 up was top drawer - something City l learn from. Winning tame free kicks, heading for the corner, taking an age over throw ins and set plays - the were brilliant at it. The female commentator was getting on my nerves with her high pitched voice and feminist views.blah blah blah……………... Well done the England women! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah for me this is the only thing that has been a small dampener on the tournament. The whole “56 years of hurt” while well intended doesn’t really work as there are people who don’t care about the woman’s game but love the mens game and vice versa. There was a reviewer on BBC this morning who said “they’ve done what the men can’t do” when at that point the achievements were parallel. I even saw a player from one of the England disability teams (which run fantastically) complaining that their achievements weren’t being recognised in the male/female comparison which while I know it wasn’t the intent, belittled the lionesses achievement. There seems to have been a desire to compare this to the men. It’s not. It’s a fantastic achievement in the woman’s own right. Just as before Murray won Wimbledon nobody talked of Wade, this should stand alone. And they deserve it to. 4 1 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eardun Posted July 31, 2022 Report Share Posted July 31, 2022 Brilliant. Germany have never lost in a final before and they were coming on strong in extra time. We’ve seen England’s men crumble in situations like this in the past so it was great to see the Lionesses stay resilient and come back to win. Outstanding achievement. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
