Women's Euro 2022

[Billy Dean]

Have to say, the men and women's teams beating Germany in big knock out games in back to back major tournaments is a sentence I never thought I'd ever type

I really could get used to that. Hope we play them and beat them in Qatar too

Standard of German football has taken a nosedive in recent years.

Just like the standard of our football had dropped when they battered us in 2010

Has Nicola Sturgeon weighed in on this yet?

Where have you been for the past 10 years? Everything is a everyone vs. men thing now.

Case in point - Sturgeon’s tweet above.

Because it’s a Euros that England has won.

A domestic Women’s football thread wouldn’t get anywhere near this attention.

Women's club football has too many leagues, not enough talent. National teams at least concentrate the talent to give you a much better watch.

Plus its niche, it goes down better as a 2-3 week event, a whole season is 8-9 months. there is nothing wrong w/ this, that's why the olympics are popular because sure a lot of the events are fun but no one is gonna watch swimming, gymnastics or even track religiously for months out of the year.

Zoinks. That reads like right wing recruitment stuff.

I read it as tongue firmly in cheek humor.

Why are be bothered at a female talking a bit of [Poor language removed]?

Same here. Think social media has stopped people having a sense of humour nowadays ffs

Out of interest @RAFUH, do they always refer to themselves as the somewhat clumsy-looking USWNT? Why not just England v USA?

Yes. The men are USMNT. No idea how it started, but it's been this way for ages.

They have a weird habit of doing it for pretty much everything. POTUS, FLOTUS etc..
