2025 European Championships * *womens

[Fauxstralian]

Starts on Wednesday , holders England kick off against France on Saturday
Hosts Switzerland prepared by losing 7-1 to an u15 Lucerne boys team

[honky cat]

You'd never hear the players or coaches claim to be equal to the mens game or describe it as englands greatest football achievement. That's the media and the usual hangers on. The 24 hour a day constant cycle of drivel playing in the background of everything.

Anyway once again, well done girls. Best womens football team in europe.

As the great American comedian Bill Burr says “ if woman don’t want watch women’s sport why should they expect men to “

Let the women’s teams become self funded, see what happens.

The bottom line is they played 6 games and only won 2 in regulation time.

Stop embarrassing yourself 

[Helmut Shown]

No matter what you think about women’s football, that screeching harridan Vicki Sparks on the commentary ruins every game she commentates. Please BBC, relegate her to women’s games only.

Nobody is asking you to watch it are they? 

I don't watch it but don't have a problem with those that do and want to come on here and cսnt them in the bastard for doing so. They're still English which you are yet you want the women from another country to win.. You're like a homophobe who protests so much because they're a raving closet queen, same as the spurs shit.  

Closet spurs fan bum bandit nailed on.

I'm no women's football fan, and I didn't watch any of the tournament, but that's proper scraping the barrel, twoleltfeet.

[Mad Dog]

I think my drunken point about the Olympics in 2012 was the sheer hysteria of it all

I'm not sure that's a relevant metric though, is it?

I follow Essex's results but never been to a county cricket game, however I'm currently on the 5 home test match bandwagon and looking forward to the Ashes bandwagon.

I've enjoyed bits of the Wimbledon bandwagon on TV but never been and certainly wouldn't find myself at Nottingham, Eastbourne or Queens or wherever.

I like the 4 yearly Olympics bandwagon but never been to a swimming gala or athletics meet and no chance I'd ever go to a fucking ping pong or badminton tournament.

I must be a serial bandwagon jumper. What a mug

[only1billybonds]

Didn't watch a second of it so wont slag it off and its a trophy for England so that's something to be pleased about. But I'm with Mad Dog on this generally.  Lets see how many of those celebrating wildly get off their arses on a freezing cold Saturday/Sunday/Monday night to watch Fulham ladies v Brighton ladies. 

[Fauxstralian]

Saw the other day that one of the N London teams (can’t remember if it was Arsenal or the other lot) announced their WSL team would play ALL their games at the main stadium
That should boost attendances & interest
Presume we would be unable to do that as understood we are restricted as to the number of games we can host at London Stadium 
Think that was the reason we couldn’t host a testimonial for Aaron Cresswell 

Lots of talk about the women’s superiority at pens compared to the men
Scored 3 out of 7 to beat Sweden & 3 out of 5 last night
The pen v Italy was also saved & scored on the rebound
Am sure the men will be delighted to get through knockouts next summer scoring 6 out of 13

[Jean-Luc Paul Goddard]

Honky what do you mean no band wagon.  A fuck ton of people have watched this and have no interest in it usually. And wont give a fuck about it until the next big tournament  IF they are doing OK. Pretty sure that is thr definition of a band wagon.  All bandwagons piss me off severely "ooh I like the popular thing because it's popular".  Not because people actually are interested in whatever. And the fake caring in this, music, hot topics, suddenly being really into athletics at the Olympics in 2012, whatever is popular in media etc has always got on my tits.  

Ive nothing against the women's football.  At all.  I have a problem with those that are part time fans snd will go back to ignoring them again after tomorrow.   

If youre gonna support something, do it properly, not just when it's popular for a couple of weeks

Personally I don't have much interest in any sport other than men's football, but this little rant seems a bit daft to me. Jumping on media created sensations is one thing, but events like the Euros, Olympics, Wimbledon, etc. are where you're supposed to be seeing the very best of those sports. That's why people watch them. The idea that to watch and enjoy one of these competitions means having to "support" them 365 days a year is ridiculous.

In the past yes, not so sure that's as true nowadays on our way to another Final though..

They also beat Columbia on Pens at the 2018 WC but these shoot out “triumphs” seem few and far between when compared to the ones we lost! We do have form for bottling it but nice to see our girls show how it’s done, not just once but several times during the tournament.

Mind you I never watched it or in fact any game or highlights even 

[fraser]

BBC headline is

The greatest achievement in English football history 

[XKhammer]

Glad they won because im English,but didn't watch a second of any of the games same as Club world cup...not really interested 

[XKhammer]

I feel no association or connection to/with this victory.

Well done to the team for winning, but it's just a statistic to me.

Having "Football" and "England" in the narrative is simply not enough, no matter what the media (BBC, I'm looking at you here)  think I should think.

Is that because you live in Thailand or consider yourself a woman because your Trans?

[Massive Attack]

Well done the Ladies i say

Englishwoman growing a pair when it comes to penalties, just a pity the Men's national side cant do likewise rather than turn into a bunch of scared fannies when they have the same scenario

In the entire knockout stages, England led for less than 4 minutes. I'll take that. About time we got some luck!

[Mad Dog]

If women's football is to grow properly it's got to be supported week in week out, not once every 2 years

Even if that is just viewing numbers on tv

Fuck off, all of you.

Splitarse football is absolute shit.

We're never going to hear the end of this.

Mr Hatred, you sold out by watching Gaelic Athletic Association and got proper confused with what the hell was going on. So you're in no position to get your knickers in twist over this. 

And yes, we will never hear the end of this, Gary Lineker is going to be unbearable on the BB... oh.

[Leonard Hatred]

Fuck off, all of you.

Who's arguing we played excellent Football throughout?
