Very well played. James to score the winner in the final, it's coming home. Not for me it's not, there's no years of hurt from women's football for me. I'm just waiting for the media to go on about it but it's not the men's game & we are continually told we shouldn't be comparing the two teams, so it definitely ain't coming home for me. it will be the "twelfth of never" before southgates bottlers get to a final

If you're not interested, please turn off and get grumpy in your shed. Irrespective of one's gender, we should be very pleased with the England women's success (it IS one) in getting to the final. While we can agree that the media overdo matters, it doesn't detract from that success. Who rattled your cage? I've been commenting on this thread all through the game & I'm delighted for the girls - otherwise I wouldn't be watching it would I? I just don't hold it in the same way as the men as I explained earlier, there are no years of hurt from women's football for me. So fuck off back to your south coast shit hole.

Tbf Kerr is the best striker in the world. She's the record goalscorer in both Australia and America before she came to Chelsea. She's an incredible footballer, wasn't a criticism as such, more surprise that she missed (for her) fairly simple chances. I'd not heard of many female footballers outside the WSL and England, but her I knew before signing for Chelsea, brilliant player. No, I didn't think you were criticising her. I just meant that Spain don't have a Sam Kerr. Hoping that that doesn't put the mockers on it.

Cool, calm and collected. They never appear to panic.
Actually got some sympathy from the missus at half time. "Is this how you feel when you watch Town?"
"Probably. Although you are hopeful of an England win. I generally have a feeling of impending doom"
England Spain is a dream final over here. My local bar owner will be rubbing his hands together.

I associated "it's coming home" with the song & the media will, no doubt, be mentioning it. For me, it's not the same, I have supported the Lionesses & I will be highly delighted if they win it but it won't be "coming home", for me.

Good win.

One game away from holding 2 major international trophies in Women's football.
Hope they come through on Sunday, it'll be a fantastic achievement for the team & management.

Not to sound all drumriggend-like, but has anyone got a link to a stream please? I think it will be shown on the TVs in the Rediffusion shop window. Watching final scores in the Rumbelows window in town used to be an institution - there'd be 10-20 blokes (mainly) staring at the Teletext/Ceefax feed and then the teleprinter when the final scores kicked in.

It's like Town though, we aren't the greatest team the world has ever seen & Town losing hurts more than most things. The England men's team have disappointed time & time again but I still want them to win, & care about them winning,far more than I do the women's team. That's just how it is for me, but that doesn't mean I can't support the women & want them to win... but the cat will be safe from a kicking if we don't beat Spain

It's football. It was properly formed here. So if they win it's still coming home. Regardless of the sex of the team. Odd though that I can get behind this lot so much but can't be arsed watching the men's team.This 100%. Still watch the men's team, but haven't been engrossed in a game to such an extent as I do with the ladies.

Really enjoy the women’s game, especially England, and would like Town to take it seriously (which seems more likely now) but the constant references to the men’s game which simply doesn’t compare is ridiculous. I get unreasonably angry at the BBC football site placing more emphasis and possibly coverage on WSL over the bloody Championship too.

Unlike the cricket, the weather will not be coming to your rescue this time! So the ball won’t be charged to help you, the weather won’t save us…. Sounds like we are heading to penalties 😱 Geeze, lucky it’s not the England men’s team taking them 😂 Waltzing Matilda, waltzing Matilda, You've gone a waltzing right out of the cup, And we laughed as you cried 'cos we stuffed you up the billabong, You've gone a waltzing right out of the cup 😁

I admit i've limited interest in the womens game and not watched watched much of this tournament, but i still wanted the England Ladies to win, why would anyone whos English want otherwise. Copped the last 10 minutes today with England on the back foot but a superb breakaway goal finished them off, genuinely pleased and i'll certainly be watching the final.

Well done Lionesses, shame I couldn't watch but will catch up highlights later and hopefully find time for the final at weekend. Probably be a few sad sack Aussies turning up to final with Spanish flag painted on their faces but hey ho whatever floats yer boat.

Australia, quick and skilful, but not as well set up as England. Probably need another coach to take them to that next step.

A Town 3 points at Boro and Lionesses roaring to victory on Sunday will be a Carlsberg weekend ! Other, better, lagers are available, but I fully support your sentiments.

Thought the standard was extremely high. The speed and accuracy of passing, energy and skill all top notch. Not seen a massive amount but that was the best game of women's football ive seen in terms of quality.
beating the Aussies is always good but beating them on their own turf , whatever it is youre beating them at, is just so enjoyable!
