Women's European Championships.

Massive crowd 😂😂😂

Can't even half fill a Stadium, when will this experiment end?

Should be played on Hackney Marshes.

Re: Women's European Championships.

I saw the ad for this on Channel 4 yesterday and it seemed to imply that lots of male football fans were following it closely and putting on national shirts to go to the pub to watch the games.
As though it was the Euros or the 2018 World Cup.
Is that not true?

Fake news 😄

A crowd of about 1000 for an England/Scotland match, fucking joke.

Re: Women's European Championships.

Beating tbe sweaties 6-0 is a result whoever is playing. Our women are showing our men up big time.

Re: Women's European Championships.

Wondering if stoney even knows it wasn't played in Britain, hence why the locals aren't packing it in.

Plus there was a lot more than 1000 there anyway.

Some our girls' goals were absolute class tonight. Check them out if you get the chance. They've come a long way.

Re: Women's European Championships.

No they weren't. The volley was nice technique but the other goals were scrappy with terrible defending.

Sven Roeder 10:21 Thu Jul 20
Re: Women's European Championships.

Didn't pay attention to all the goals but the first was a straight ball through the middle of the defence where the centre half turned like a MILK FLOAT
The second was another straight ball where the centre half played some will I wont I offside trap.
The last one was a header from a corner and an England player was 2 yards from goal completely unmarked and headed it in.

One of my BUGBEARS is that to be taken seriously women players need to have the same scrutiny as men.
If a player is crap (ie Rooney) for England they are crucified. Get the impression the same COLD HARD EYE isnt brought to bear on Doris's

They have improved dramatically over the last few years, still will never be what the pc brigade want it to be though.

Oh and Elin Metta Jensen of Iceland

All male footballers except Messi, Maradona, Pele and Ronaldo are shit.

Re: Women's European Championships.

Got to agree with Lily and not with Sven: I was expecting the goals to be pub-team standard but was surprised with the skill and pace involved in about 4 of them. Given that women's football will never be as impressive as men's in terms of power and athleticism, it wasn't at all bad.
Unlike the England women cricketers who took the best part of 3 overs to score 16 needed to win, many of those runs from edges or mis-hits.

Lily Hammer 10:56 Thu Jul 20
Re: Women's European Championships.

I only saw a couple, but the ones that prompted my post were the well taken volley, and more so the one with the long diagonal ball headed on for a perfectly timed runner to go through and lob the keeper. Class goal in anyone's book, whether they have clits or cobblers swinging between their legs.

Re: Women's European Championships.

Official attendance was 5,578 - doesn't seem bad to me.

You make a good point, Sven - the commentators weren't ever being critical. One England bird went round a Scottish defender quite brilliantly - anyone here would have been impressed. She had two unmarked and one marked to aim for in the box, so she ballooned it out for a throw. Fair enough, these things happen to even the best men - but commentators would usually say how poor something was - not here, they just glossed over the fact that she completely fucked it up. I get it, they want to talk it up and make it more popular.

Easy for England though - it was men against boys.

Grumpster 11:22 Thu Jul 20
Re: Women's European Championships.

They're pretty good nowadays and anyone who say's they aren't are just being sexist. Clearly nowhere near the men's standards, but not hard considering it's a man's game.

Goalkeeping though is still dogshit.

Re: Women's European Championships.

I wonder at what level some of these girls could actually play. None would touch league football, and I doubt any would get a contract at a conference side either.

I would imagine it would be Rymans League (is it still called that?) at the very best, but that would be the top 1%, the very best women players in the world.

They'd struggle in Sunday League ffs.

Re: Women's European Championships.

Womens football = toddlers playing monopoly.

They've been trying for years Sweden

It's shite.

A good few years ago now (8-10) Sweden were playing in the World cup final vs Germany 🇩🇪 iirc

Made a big thing of it and ended up live on National TV, got about as many viewers watching than if they'd screened the Eurovision Song Contest in a pub filled with Banditos.

Funny I remember they interviewed all the then managers in the male allsvenskan (top division here) if they'd be watching, all except one lied and said yes a Yogoslavian manager called Zoran Lukić...
He Managed Djurgården at tha time (Teddy Sheringham played on loan in his earlier career) he couldn't help laughing and said no, he'd rather cut his grass..

Obviously got ridiculed by the MSM and lefty twats

I didn't watch either

I cut my grass
