Women’s Football

[SNSUN]

Hemp subbed. She's worked her bollocks off.

[striker]

This match has done wonders for woman's football. Extra time winner in a sold out Wembley

England did a masterclass in killing off the last 10 minutes

[Plastic]

Great goal, deserved win. 

[Sheaf Saint]

Fan-fucking-tastic.

Well done girls. European champions.

[Jimmy_D]

Oh wow.

OH WOW!

CHAMPIONS!

Bloody hell. What a tournament!

It’s Coming Home!

[adrian lord]

Well done. Good stuff. 

[Toadhall Saint]

Excellent- really chuffed for them. Well deserved 

[SNSUN]

Men... over to you in the World Cup.

[Saint Billy]

That was a great second goal, hopefully they'll show it again along with the celebrations. 

[Sunglasses Ron]

Amazing bunch of girls, skilful, hard working and great togetherness.

It wasn’t really was it, scramble and turned in but honestly I jumped out of the chair when it went in. Fair play to lionesses if that isn’t too sexist, the final was bloody gripping.

Are you watching Peter Crouch? 😉

[Colinjb]

This is just wonderful. Who cares if it was scrappy, Football came home tonight.

[AlexLaw76]

That was proper game-management in the last 5 mins

If she'd taken her bra off would that be 2 yellow cards?

Shame it wasnt Russo or Rachel Daly

[AlexLaw76]

I doubt we will see Germans cry like this until they have to turn on their heating in a couple of months!

[Dr Who?]

The little blokes would not have seen that out. Not that they would be in a position to do so. 
 

What a team. Love them. 💕 

[Baird of the land]

Well Done England. Pretty even game on the whole but England once again clinical with their chances. No doubt celebtration will make some headlines, no reason women should have to be restrained in shirt terms as far as i'm concerned.

Did wonder if Germany were going to be made pay for giving away that very needless corner.

Reckon there will be a picture of them celebrating in the changing room in just their shorts spraying Each other with champagne like the blokes do?

Wonder if there's any hope of pressure on the govt to give people a public holiday.

This Betty Ball isn’t bad. Interesting to see not a single black player on the pitch, wonder why that is?

Probably because at the moment the best England squad just happen to be very largely white. Women's football has come a long way but is still in it's infancy in some respects. As this sport increases in popularity we will see girls from Primary School age up and from all walks of life having lots more opportunities to take up football and as they grow and develop there will be more diversity in our national women's team. 

[Turkish]

Oh shut the fuck up with the virtue signalling, banging on about the past and just enjoy the moment FFS

[The Cat]

Does the DJ at Wembley only own 7 records and have to contractually play them in the same order after every final?

Great to see England win, I thought Germany were just getting hold of the midfield but the subs put England back on the front foot and they deserved to get the winner.

Ian Wright seems to think you had to be part of an underground network to play or watch womens football

No it would mean the first yellow is instantly rescinded.

Not sure what he wants.  Ladies game 3pm on a Saturday?  That will be great for its growth 🤪

It’s bizzare keep banging on about how girls aren’t allowed to play football. Whilst the flip side is sue whistle reckons 14m of them  are at it! Who is right?

Yeah, like you have to use a secret handshake to get entry to the stadiums 😄

He wants the PL to run it! Moaning about having to travel to games. That’s what I did every weekend for 15 year when I played at the weekends. I get his point a bit but it is like he just wants the vulgar wealth of PL to be there. Part of why it is so joyous is because it is more pure.

[The Cat]

I like the fact the women aren't so well media trained as the men because it's making for far more interesting interviews than the boring clichés that fall out the men's mouths.

That was hypothetical. Now it's happened. See if there's a load of pressure. Not like this govt doesn't like a U-turn. Surely an easy feel good factor for the publicity hound on his way out.

[S-Clarke]

That was a great watch, surprisingly easy in the final 10 mins. We just toyed with Germany at the end, expert way to see a game out.

England winning a trophy in football does seem a bit surreal.

[whelk]

I hope we can now exhume the mass graves of all those women footballers who died for the cause

Not sure there is a need.  

I get the feel most of these types of holidays are to cater for the fact so many go out on the smash (celebrate) whatever the occasion. 

Is the country going out on the smash right now?

However, they will all be falling over themselves to give us loads of time off.  May even restart the furlough in honour of the Lionesses

According to the BBC commentator, not long ago women had to forego their dignity to play football.

Errr, what?

Probably referring to the earlier days of women's football when players where all branded as lesbians and constantly mocked and derided. Obviously it's still a thing for certain members of society but it's dwindling.

Are you suggesting Sue Whistle isn’t reflective of the modern female footballer?

[Baird of the land]

Curious to see if it'll spark any increase in domestic attendances (which is where the women's game needs to find an audience ) Tournaments/cup finals will always pull in the audiences.
