I normally have no interest in football but have been living this. Wishing them lots of luck for Sunday.

As an aside, am I the only person to think white shorts might not be the best choice for a women's team?

I’ve been invited to watch it with DD and friends so I’ll bag myself a corner with a large cushion I can howl behind if things get too nail biting.

I know Riverwalk ??. Here’s hoping the women don’t have that aaargh we are doomed anxiety if it does go to penalties

Wasn’t the film if the 10 year old girl dancing and singing to Sweet Caroline, then the interview with her sublime. She’s now bern given a ticket fir herself and an adult to go to Wembley and meet the pundits. And - aren’t the pundits fabulous - loving it

Wonderful, fast-moving soccer with both teams getting lots of shots at the goal. If anyone ever tells me that women's soccer is boring and slow I'll insist they watch this and then eat their words.

Haven’t watched it, but well done ladies!

A little boy was mocked by a news reporter earlier for predicting 5-0. That kid deserves an apology.
I'm looking forward to the final on Sunday. I hope the country gets the flags out as they do for the men.

What a wonderful boost for girls’’/women’s football, indeed for girls in any sport. Did you see that little girl by the side of the pitch while Sarina was attempting her interview? She (the little girl) was simply jumping for joy.
Well done girls- women all over the UK are proud of you!

pandapatch Tue 26-Jul-22 22:01:02

In the final, well done England!!
