Cronky Posted August 16, 2023 Share Posted August 16, 2023 All credit to the Lionesses - they looked a real team, and thoroughly deserved it. They dealt with the atmosphere in the stadium with great confidence. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanj Posted August 16, 2023 Share Posted August 16, 2023 Feel for Sam Kerr missing those 2 chances late as you'd have put money on her banging one of them in - but England just have such a brilliantly coached team, ruthless in the counter and an incredible to desire to weather the big occasion and put it away. Go on and win that World Cup now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJ9 Posted August 16, 2023 Share Posted August 16, 2023 Bit of a moan aside from what was a great performance, but I swear I’m so fucking sick of those around the women’s game referring to teams by their brand name in every bastard utterance. Lionesses, Matildas etc. really fucking grates, probs because I’m a miserable bastard I guess Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paullow Posted August 16, 2023 Share Posted August 16, 2023 I guess the main reason will be it not being held in England/UK, but also the kick off times, that it was only 12 months since the last tournament, and also that the men's football season is back, but despite being a greater achievement, it doesn't really feel half as big as what it did heading into the final last year.

Miercoles Posted August 17, 2023 Share Posted August 17, 2023 Glad they're sacking that dude, the whole team looked completely disjointed this tournament. I think some of that is players feeling entitled, like they would win just by being the US, but they also just looked like they had never played together before and that has to be on the manager. Also can we stop trying to play Alex Morgan as a lone striker? It's been a decade now and it's always terrible. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will be interesting to see who they get! I suppose there is an argument that if we win on Sunday, would Serina want another challenge?? Let's hope not, but she'll definitely be in a fantastic position to ask for a renegotiated contract!! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr.Spaceman Posted August 20, 2023 Share Posted August 20, 2023 Looking forward to this. Every time I watch England it always seems like Lauren Hemp is the key, such a great player. Stuck a fiver on her to score and England to win. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rich Posted August 20, 2023 Share Posted August 20, 2023 Got fully carried away with the Euros but have struggled to catch many games in this due to the kick-off times. Will be watching this morning, for sure, howay the lasses! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LiquidAK Posted August 20, 2023 Share Posted August 20, 2023 Time zones have generally made this tournament a bit difficult to follow, but not having to wait all day for the final is definitely a positive Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jill Posted August 20, 2023 Share Posted August 20, 2023 Really looking forward to this, though it's not been as easy to get into as the Euros due to missing so many matches with the kick off times.

That's actually sad to here, the fever we had for the Matilda's here has been unlike any other football event we've had before. Part of that will be home soil, part may be due to the prime minister promising a public holiday if we make the finals, but even still the excitement was immense. I wouldve assumed Spain and England being in the finals wo up level garnered massive attention back in their home countries Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not at fever pitch but shops definitely have stuff out for the lasses, and all the road signs along A19 etc had good luck messages.

Lish007 Posted August 20, 2023 Share Posted August 20, 2023 Ive just left a message on my MPs voicemail berating the lack of big screens in major cities... The support has to start from the top as well. Nothing will probably happen but it does make me angry as a woman to feel less than all the time!!! It's disappointing but really happy to see you folk on here supporting them. I think the more men that get excited and involved, the more other men want to. Especially when they realise it's not a threat to the men's game but something that can be enjoyed alongside. So cheers all for getting behind the lasses, a credit to the forum.

TheBrownBottle Posted August 20, 2023 Share Posted August 20, 2023 TBF here in Sydney no bugger seemed interested until the QF vs France. That game got lots of interest, though - and the SF was clearly a massive event. While I can't imagine it getting the same awareness in England at present, I've been critical of the timing of the tournament from the off. Playing when the mens leagues in Europe have kicked off is unbelievably stupid. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheBrownBottle Posted August 20, 2023 Share Posted August 20, 2023 In team news, James is on the bench. Has the feel of Greaves missing the 66 final. Hopefully the result is the same Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
