Women's Soccer Euro Cup in England

Good game, good performance, and any chance of the winning coach replacing Southgate?

I feel very much the same. I will keep my BT Sport because of the rugby. I keep Sky Sports mainly because of the cricket in the summer, but despite being a lifelong Arsenal supporter, do not watch a great deal of footie any longer.

This is true. Chelsea and Man City buy the best players and there is a void between the best teams and those lower down.

My team Wolves were in the Championship play offs and lost to Southampton 1-0. Wolves won the Northern Premier League and Saints won the Southern Premier League. As it stands that's not enough to get both of them into the second tier without a play off game. The game was played as Edgely Park (Home Of Stockport FC) and was broadcast live. I did get very annoyed with the commentator who basically accused one of the Wolves players of deliberately going over the top. She did get sent off but it was just a mistimed challenge and not meant to be nasty in my view. I suppose in a way its a test of true equality if the women are as competitive as the mend in that respect.

very well said...  the whole product has come along leaps and bounds over the past 20 years and they deserve all the recognition they get.

I only have one quibble with the women's game in this country, which I'm sure will be ironed out in time and that is, despite all the hype, too few of the women's games in the WSL are really competitive.. it's very rare that any of the teams from 6 down are ever likely to take any points off the elite, and the 9-0 hammerings are still too regular (although I could point to Southampton in this regard ) and the results are about as predictable as Celtic v St Mirren, because all the money and resources are concentrated at the top.

I do hope the Foxes manage to stay up this season, but my hopes aren't high...  

nothing to do with tougher , the men's game is just horribly cynical. I do think that the women have a chance to put on a proper spectacle free of the 'dark arts' (ie shirt pulling, simulation, time wasting and all that crap) that has often brought the man's game down to a depressing low level) 

I certainly prefer watching womens football and basketball to mens.

The women footballers seem a lot tougher than the men. You hardly ever see the women roll around on the ground like they have been shot from the stands.
