Watching the Lionesses ⚽️ Sunday

I expect I shall watch the last half hour as DH will watch that. He never watches a whole football match unless its Spurs but now Harry has gone who knows what will happen.

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.

I won’t be watching. No inter In football at all.
I do however wish them luck and hope they win.

I’ll be watching at home with OH, and cheering our girls on. (My next door neighbour is an ex Lioness! )

I shall be watching!

Getting quite excited now. Bit of housework to do, then settling down in front of TV. Bottle of fizz ready to go in fridge for tonight if they win.....

I am not and never have been remotely interested in football. However ........... On this occasion I will watch bits of the match ! I think our girls have done a great job for football in general and for girls and women. Of course I wish them well ,🤞 for success. Whatever the outcome the Lionesses should be immensely proud of their achievement.

I would so like England to win but I don’t think I can watch until near the end, depending on the score. I make myself so nervous!

I feel rather insulted that not one member of our royal family or the PM are going to be there! As already mentioned, it’s the first time since 1966. It really is important for women of the world and our players. If it was the men playing, I’m sure they would make the effort!

I shall watch it on TV at home. I'm thrilled at how many girls are being inspired by the Lionesses.

Watched the musical tribute by the Guards band in Wellington barracks this morning. Very moving. Lovely......

We might actually go to the pub for the second half, cappuccino for me please!

I'll be watching. Salmon for lunch so that will be quick to prepare during half time.

I'm going to watch although not really a football fan but I'd love them to win as it would make so many people happy. I think most sports played at the top level can be entertaining and I remember watching the 1966 World final with my mother. My father was there as he had connections with a first div club and had been given a ticket but was also recovering from a recent heart attack tbh we doubted he'd live through the match!

I've watched all their matches but from the comfort of my own home. The final will be watched with a pounding heart and I will probably be a nervous wreck by the end. They have done us proud whatever the outcome.

dogsmother, as always there are exceptions

Monica 💐 Happy Birthday
A birthday to celebrate 🎉
We are now going to the pub but it’s not one where food is an option just lots of drinking and celebrating the football I believe.
I hear what you say about taking part but some people are just not up to it. I have always been an arm chair supporter of many sports. Only partaken of one.

Oh gosh, MOnica! I do hope your meal won't be disturbed. Maybe call the pub to see if they're going full on with the reporting.

Happy birthday to you and fingers crossed all goes well and you have a lovely time

Oh dear, we are gong out to lunch tomorroww to celebrate my 80th. A local, nice, but given the occasion, pricy pub.

Is everything going to be spoiled by howling crowds watching/listening to the match on telephones, ipads and the liek (it is not a tv in the bar type pub).

For me sport is something you do, not something you watch and my interest in tomorrows event is not just nil, it is negative.

I really hope that my special occasion is not going to be ruined.

Why is it necessary to have to open the pubs for people to watch this historic game?

The pubs open at 11am, nothing different.

easybee the pubs are open normal hours- some of them have lovely open beer gardens that families frequent…

Of course it’s not necessary, but presumably people enjoy the atmosphere.
I don’t think I’ll be watching - if there’s a side I really want to win*, I get too wound up!
(*not that I often care one way or the other.)

If a T shirt I once saw on a New Zealander is anything to go by, at least the Kiwis might be supporting us.

It read, ‘I SUPPORT NEW ZEALAND - AND WHOEVER IS PLAYING AUSTRALIA’. 😂

Because it brings in the money eazybee!

I'll be about and watching every minute. Alarm already set!

Not just an accomplishment for woman in football - no English team has got to the final since 1966!

I didn’t say say pub or not! So as ever I will be at home with whoever is around, sometimes family eat with us on Sunday so maybe they are here too.
