I'll be watching a few. The standard of the women's game has come on leaps and bounds. And they're less whiney than the fellas. Agree with that, i admit i dont watch much of it but whenever i've seen some on telly they tend to just get on with it, unlike some of the embarrassing prima donnas in the mens game.

Bamber was a legend.

Not as big a legend as Bamber Boozle though, I miss teletext 😁

I shall watch if we make the semi finals. Tbh, once the season ends, I’ve generally had my fill of football (especially after the seasons of rollercoaster rides we’ve had of late). I need a breather so I’m fresh and ready again once the new season starts. I keep abreast of what’s happening pre-season but take the opportunity to watch other sports. Still love the WC but the Euros have lost some appeal for me. It’s not that I don’t rate the women’s game but there’s already too much football on the tv - including plenty I would watch if I had the time - so i definitely won’t be watching games I’ve almost no interest in. We’re on holiday overseas currently but I’m guessing the tv channels are going over the top about the whole thing as they have a tendency to do.

I suspect the injuries to key players may mean we fall short in this one sadly. Quarters or semi final may be as far as they get but live in hope naturally, you never know.

Women playing football?? Surprised I haven’t seen it mentioned anywhere.. I’d rather watch repeats of university challenge.. Hosted by bamber gascoigme.. 💩💩 So you feel the need to come on the thread about something you've no interest in and spoil it for those of us who have? Congratulations. TBF mosher the OP said they’ve no interest in it either which kinda gives those who feel the same way licence to comment I reckon

Watched the Aussie women for a bit last night, was much better than watching the Aussie cricket team 🙄
Was a good, competitive and hard game. Challenges were flying in everywhere. I enjoyed it, especially the result. Crowd was over 75k, so a great turnout for the opener. I really hope the crowds to the non home team games are well supported.
Maybe now the Cup is underway there’ll be more events and more excitement.

No interest in Women's soccer - but watched last nights NZ game... loved it, and as has been said 'No whinging and just get on with the game' .. will watch more. That some canny looking young lassies play the game is an added bonus.

Someone near the bottom on page 1 (willo I think) also had no real interest but put a decent explanation of why, not just "women playing football? nah" type posts. It's football, it's close season, some of us want a fix without being told it's shit and they're not real footballers. I mean FFS have they watched Town since the PL years Edit: It WAS willo, but on this page not page 1 lol

England v Haiti on now, ITV. Slightly jittery at the back early on but their quality going forward should see them through this one.

That should have been a penalty and a red card. How can they say it was a foul by Russo but a yellow card for the defender for going studs up straight down Kelly's shin 🤔

Keeper went to that side about four hours before she kicked it.

Looked a good decision to me I didn't think it was that clear a foul and it didn't stop the defender, but it was a disgraceful challenge on Kelly. How she decided it was a yellow not a red. Although, like you, I don't know how she can card someone when she's used VAR to decide a foul had already occurred.

Not England's most convincing game and Earps has had to make important saves. Hopefully they will grow into the tournament. Been a pretty open game, more than England coach would like I suspect.

Woke early and watched Japan v Zambia.
Decent game but wish the commentators would enlighten us as to which kit each team is playing in so we can establish which Country is which? Sort it out BBC. 😉

Also genuine observation from watching Lionesses game.
Compared to England Men’s Football noticed the scarcity of Women of Colour in the English Women’s Team? Any reason why this is so different compared to Men’s Football?
