Women’s Euros

Well, DH thinks they're brilliant! A shining example to set to the male footballers, according to him.

But then, he's not middle-aged, hasn't got a beer gut and couldn't out-pace them 😁

They were denied an open bus parade through London when they won in 2022. They're getting one tomorrow and rightly so.

wouldn't have won if they had played against men pathetic isn't it but maybe that would give the men a better chance as the men's England team has never won the Euros .

Well done the Lionesses, so good to watch.
I can't believe the comments on social media saying the Lionesses wouldn't have won if they had to play against men. Sad and such bad form.

Yes, it’s almost as if men and women are somehow made differently, isn’t it?

It’s worrying how many middle-aged blokes with ample beer guts think themselves capable of easily outpacing the Lionesses.

It is sad and it is bad form, but if they’re saying that, they’re actually validating the fact that there should be women only teams, not invaded by delusional men.

Sad and such bad form.

Were these comments made by men by any chance? 😂

I’ve been surprised but I shouldn’t have been by the misogyny on various Facebook threads.
Before the match a man on our village group posted he’d put the flag out for the ‘ladies’ team. The photo was of a tea towel. The response - a laughing emoticon from a woman . I ignored it as I have some disgusting comments from men under news items. Scary how threatened they are

After the news of Bronze's injury, her former England team-mate Ellen White told BBC Sport: "I mean this in the nicest way but she is not human.

"I love her and adore her, but she is proper England.

"To say she has just won a major tournament on a fractured tibia, that is not normal. That pain must have been insane and she smashed that ball in for the Sweden game.

"Fair play to the girls for crediting her. That is true of Lucy Bronze, she will give everything to play for England and win for England as well."

This is unbelievable. Apparently Lucy Bronze (whose middle name is Tough - honestly!) played the whole tournament with a fractured leg. She must have been in such pain.

Wasn’t Prince William great? So warm and genuinely proud, hugging players with such a happy response to their success.
Yes, hugging being the correct (English) way!!

After listening to her interview all I can say is Sarina Weigman is such a classy, gracious lady. The men's team could do with her managing them aswell.

Noooo!!!

Let them find their own.
She’s ours! 😂

I think Sarina Wiegman should be PM

She is amazing isn't she? Yes, what a finish and it could have gone the other way too. B R A V O.

Agree, women's football is much more fun to watch.

Watching England play in big tournaments is always nail biting. I enjoyed this game, despite feeling after ten minutes that we’d be lucky to beat Spain. What a skilful team Spain is. Our women were fantastic. They upped their game, played like a team and never gave up. By the penalty shoot out I was so proud of them and watching the penalties made me even prouder. I liked the women talking of being proud to be English. I loved the lack of unnecessary drama (men take note)
What a great team. What a manager and her team.

Wonderful. So pleased for them. They just never gave up. Well done Spain as well. As DH said there were no losers. DH prefers women’s football.

Was an incredible game. Very tense. Well done Lionesses for bringing football home 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

Both teams played so well. Penalties were probably the fairest way to sort it!! Well done England.
Hope your DGS has a good time RosieandherMaw and picked up a few tips!

I think it was Princess Charlotte with Prime William. Well done, Lionesses. If you want something done give it to the women.

Charlotte was watching the game with her father but was not on the presentation line up.

The young girl in the line-up was there in keeping with UEFA tradition that they like to give a child with special needs a place in the medal ceremony.

Well done the Lionesses. Spain had the upper hand through most of this match but as our girls said later, they have English blood in their veins which means they never give up.
As I said to my sons and SIL's, who are all waiting for the men to win something, "If you want something doing.................."

OMG that was really good. The men could take a leaf or two from the girls as the girls are much better, cleaner players.

I was aware of a couple of names but I seem to know them all now.

They have done this country proud.

Well done, England!! You make us very proud.

Prince William watching the penalties. 😂

What a fantastic night! Good news for once.

Merlotgran - I meant she is capable of doing both. I don't want her to leave the Lionesses.

Nah! Men are twice as much work! 😂

With the cricket and the rugby as well this has been a sporting weekend for Britain to rejoice over.
