Australia vs England Women's World Cup semi-final

Well said Foxygloves
My DGD has played football in local teams for about 5 years. She's 14 and it has given her so much. She's confident. She coaches younger children and she wants a career in some kind of sport.

I could’ve cried for our lionesses…..😓

Well said, Foxygloves 👏👏👏

England have improved game by game and should win against Spain but their level of aggression against Australia was very high with lots of marginal tackles, they need to take care not to go over the top.

Oh no mollygo - please let’s keep the women’s game for ahf’s
Foxygloves - yeeessssss

Yes foxygloves, I agree with that and I’m not even a football fan. Sadly, I wait for the next demands by a tw to join the lionesses.

I am so sick of it . Now they are wondering about a bank holiday if they win. Will all the UK get it ? It's only a game for goodness sake .

It’s not.
It’s about women in sport, in an age of “slebs”, it’s about role models for our grand daughters, in an age of drugs testing or illegal hard tackling in other team games such as rugby, it’s about good sports”man”ship, but most of all, about equality of opportunity for girls at every level from primary school up.
And a pleasant change from 6’6” burly men pretending they are eligible for women’s cycling, swimming or athletics events.
Go Lionesses!

The anti footie moaners have arrived 😏🤦‍♀️. It’s been an absolutely cracking World Cup. England’s team a joy to watch
I’m watching on Sunday with family - one of my daughters started a petition at her primary school for a girl’s football team, the male deputy head who was in charge of sports had refused her request. She got parents to sign her petition, the girls got their team- result
Come on england

I wish I could show you the latest video but can't with the family in it. They are in the crowd which is singing Sweet Caroline. My son is grinning from ear to ear but they all look very happy.

England or Australia?

There was a difference of opinion in our family!
And another DD said she'd support Australia as Wales didn't qualify 😲

This was my earlier answer Callistemon21

My son is doing his bit and supporting The Lionesses, DIL and GD have always support the Matildas. GS was spit - they all have duel nationality. He eventually went with his mum and sister, which seems right to me.

^I have just had a video from their seats. It looks amazing. I'm not a team game enthusiast. Generally, if you want to win in these things I'd rather let you. But I am so excited for them.^

DD said she decided the best team should win, she shouldn't be partisan.

Now England to win, Australia for the bronze!

I probably wouldn't normally watch football but the women are so much better than the men and don't cry like babies, rolling around on the ground in agony if someone steps on their toe.

I'm with you Floradora. For goodness sake indeed.

I’m sure women should play football if they want to, but I have no desire to watch it. It just means there’s even more football on TV instead of proper programmes.

My granddaughter’s junior school played football, but I don’t think the senior school she’s heading for does. I don’t think she cares. I’m just grateful I didn’t have to, though it couldn’t be worse than lacrosse.

I was to busy watching that excellent footie match to be on Gransnet. I am a bug footie fan and love watching the women. They are very skilled, normally good sports. You don't see the rolling around feigning injury that you get a lot in the mens game and it is rare for them to question the referee which is so refreshing. I've noticed more and more men in the crowd and it is refreshing to see whole fa ilies enjoying themselves. Whatever happens in the final I am extremely proud of our ladies. I would have loved to have played football.x

What a great match, such skill, determination from both teams. England deserved to win. Sunday here we come

Hurrah! The Lionesses are through to the Final! The only problem for me is that the kick-off time here in the States will be 3am! Don’t think I can do it

We were out this morning so recorded the match. I didn't turn on the TV or car radio, didn't look on the internet and watched the recording not knowing the score.
