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

DH wants to go to the pub, but I'd be happier to stay in my PJs and watch at home with a cuppa.

And my feet up, admiring their energy.

I was young once, you know!

I am so excited and agree all women’s matches of the fa should be rescheduled for this……absolutely. This is after all what they are all aspiring too surely.

We have a women’s football game KO 2pm so will watch in the clubhouse and hope it doesn’t go to extra time and penalties as the players will need to be out on the pitch and warming up by 1:30. Some women teams won’t be able to watch at all, as they may have 2hourbtravel to an away game which can’t kick off later than 4pm by the rules.

Some women players are upset and think the FA should have postponed all women’s games on Sunday so that they can all watch what is a first for England’s women’s football team.

I would like to watch this, but i literally cannot listen to the female commentator, her screeching hurts my ears.
So, will try to either find a service with crowd noise only, or at a push volume down.

I'm not into football at all, but I think it's great how well the lionesses have done. Good luck to them on Sunday. I'll watch bits of it at home.

I won't be watching. My husband will.

Jaxjacky, that just made me splurt my coffee! 😂😂

Our local is opening at 10:45, but doesn’t do food. My days of drinking from 11 are long gone so I’ll watch it at home with my weetabix!

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
