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! Important to remember that feminism means equality of the sexes. Not that women are superior. I’m a feminist as I feel women are equal to men. Hopefully you are too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Curr Avon Posted July 31, 2022 Report Share Posted July 31, 2022 Inspirational. Magnificent. Fantastic. Wouldn't it be wonderful if every primary and secondary schoolgirl in England has the opportunity to play football and its embedded in the national curriculum. That would be a fitting tribute to this brilliant team. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erithacus Posted July 31, 2022 Report Share Posted July 31, 2022 And finally, we win a final. Extra time, but a win is a win. All credit to the players, the coaches, the trainers, the physios, all the crew. Especial credit to Sarina Weigman, who has managed the side and the tournament superbly. (I can't think we would have fared as well with Neville at the helm.) As the game goes on the risks and rewards change and we got the first goal. However, the Germans did what German teams have done for generations and didn't give up. Either side could have made the crucial breakthrough in the final minutes but extra time it was. As the legs tired, gaps opened up and marking became fragmented on both sides. It then became a matter of who fatigued first, and the desire and determination the Lionesses showed today was the difference - a difference we had not really seen before. The short history of the WSL (and the previous leagues before that) have proved the work and effort put in to the women's game. Some people at the top may look back at their decisions and reflect. Great scenes at Wembley, perhaps mirrored in other places. Fan parks at a women's game? You'd better believe it. We applaud the Lionesses and celebrate their historic achievment. Now football has finally Come Home. We need to make sure we keep it home. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tinmans Love Child Posted July 31, 2022 Report Share Posted July 31, 2022 (edited) Interesting to read back through this thread to read the negative comments about the lack of beer getting spilt in fan zones as if womens football could never be popular and this tournament didn’t matter, well you look small minded and stupid now. As a father of two daughters I hope this serves to inspire them especially but all football fans men or women, absolutely great. I heard the atmosphere at the games, whilst different to mens game, was a breath of fresh air and certainly better for kids. So glad we won’t see headlines about drunken middle aged blokes fighting in the streets! Come on England!

Southport Red Posted July 31, 2022 Report Share Posted July 31, 2022 Well done Lionesses. Showed skill, stamina, bravery and nous. How lovely to finish extra time against the Germans and not wanting to put my foot through the TV. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

REDOXO Posted July 31, 2022 Report Share Posted July 31, 2022 Not sure whether the commentary was the same in England (probably not) but the Co-commentator described the finish for the first goal as filthy. And you gotta say if that had been one of ours we’d be talking about it for years! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silvio Dante Posted July 31, 2022 Report Share Posted July 31, 2022 This is exactly what I meant by my last post. Why? Just why? They’ve just reached the pinnacle of the sport they play in and the first reaction is to post how many of them are gay, and compare it to a team they don’t compete with. It’s odd, belittling, and a bit shit 10 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crackers Corner Posted July 31, 2022 Report Share Posted July 31, 2022 (edited) 12 minutes ago, Fjmcity said: for me the biggest takeaway from the tournament is changing views and attitudes on women's football, mine included, i think its come a huge way in a relatively short time and there was some genuine quality in England's attacking play which i haven't seen before this tournament. there were lots of young girls watching in the record crowd who will be keen to emulate what they have seen which can only be good for the future of the women's game.
