Re: Lionesses reach the world cup final
Well I suppose they may do better than the men.
I just cant get excited about womens football.
IMO its just been hyped up for "equality" reasons.
My other half, who is a bigger football fan than me is also "meh" about it.

To be fair the men have been doing really well recently as well. A Euros final and a World Cup quarter-final in which you lose to France is decent stuff.

It's getting hyped up as another revenue stream for football. Domestic clubs have noticed there is a different market out there so are rushing to catch-up. Arsenal sold out the Emirates for one of the women's games last year, 60,000 seats.

don't want to be a sourpuss, but same.
I'm pleased for them and hope they win, but I won't be watching it.

At far cheaper prices than their premiership games I expect.

Re: Lionesses reach the world cup final
I'm not going to post a link because it's full of outdated attitudes and isn't appropriate for a family site, but the women's football sketch on Not The Nine O'clock News was funny back in the day.

Re: Lionesses reach the world cup final
on a side note I got hold of the whole lot NTNON every episode on a torrent a couple of weeks ago. The politics obviously dated but the rest hilarious. Kinda Lingas haha

Sure. About £20 I think. Much cheaper but 10 years ago the same fixture, the Champions League semi-final, didn't sell out a 4,000-seater stadium. Just a sign of the growth of the game.

Re: Lionesses reach the world cup final
Don't understand why they need make up and false eyelashes to play the beautiful game. Still, they do seem to be quite good at it tbf. They'd give Doncaster Rovers a test for sure

Re: Lionesses reach the world cup final
Well it wasn't meant to be. England did well to get to the final, but they didn't play anywhere near as good in the final as their previous games. It looked like they bottled it from the start and just didn't get any hold on their game.
The first half was a shocking and felt like they were too scared to play. The 2nd half they were better but Spain were by far the better team on the day. Also the ref weren't that good either which didn't help.
I'm sure they'll be kicking themselves when they look back on their performance in the final.
