Any GNs going to the pub at 11a.m Sunday .? . my DD and friends having bottomless brunch to support the Lionesses (🤩) if it’s raining might watch it as do feel it’s a big accomplishment for women in football

Best team won

Commiserations to all supporting England

😩😩

I’ve had to turn it off. If England score can someone post it on here and I’ll turn it back on again. I’m such a coward!

I'm cheering for Spain. Spanish OH and children

Also Spain are superior. And England have been a little unfair on play

Bea65 Sun 20-Aug-23 12:15:09

Spain is playing really well...Come on Lionesses ...sending good vibes for the second half shamrock

merlotgran Sun 20-Aug-23 12:07:46

Scrap that! She’s on now.

I missed kick off. Why is Lauren James on the bench?

😬😬😬😬 I get so nervous. I’ll sit in the garden I think until they are winning 4 nil then feel safe to watch.

I’m in the process of vacating my daughters house after a week long house sit, so I can potter about and half watch the football out of the corner of my eye. Oh blimey: Spain have just scored….sad

a bottomless brunch sounds lovely btw smile

Facebook is littered with sexist comments about washing up and tea towels and it is actually making me feel quite murderous

rafichagran Sun 20-Aug-23 11:13:25

I am watching, England shirt on, partner who has come back from a long run is making me a toasted sandwich and a cup of tea. I am enjoying the experience.
I am also looking forward to reading positive supporting posts on here.

Yes, seems strange to me too but the commentator did use that terminology when she referred us to the iplayer to see it.

I always want England to win, whatever the sport or occasion, so I will watch the game whilst pretending to do something more useful. We could do with the boost, though I expect Spain feels the same.

I could knit but I might drop a stitch or two 😃

It’s not a done deal. DH tipped Spain to win the tournament right at the start and he knows his football.

BBC have opted to speak over the closing ceremony. How crass, bad mannered and insensitive.

Seems odd having a closing ceremony before the final has been played?

Oh, how odd!!

No interest at all. In fact I find it a bit nightmarish, as they remind me of the ‘gamesey’ girls at school, whom I loathed. I don’t care who wins.

So why come on the thread?

For balance, to let people know there is another point of view, just as strongly held.

No-one said you can't have another viewpoint, but why gatecrash this one?

Start another thread, then.

I will be glued to coverage (from my sofa) as will my DH.
What an inspiration these young women are to girls with an interest in football.
C'mon Lionesses!
