Yes, true, but I also thought Keira Walsh made the difference too. She just has this uncanny knack of playing killer balls and defence splitting passes that change games.

Really good footballers who could defend.
If they are so good and can “bring it home” as they all keep banging on about, let’s stick them in the proper European qualification groups, and see how well they get on then. Might shut the fuckers up a bit.
They do need to work on increasing the crowds at WSL games now. Sadly the domestic league still relies on the men's teams funding the womens teams.It’ll be interesting to see if crowds in the WSL improve, not sure what the pricing is like but surely they could give free tickets to local schools?
Same with all levels of womens football i suppose.
Are you talking about the men’s team?If they are so good and can “bring it home” as they all keep banging on about, let’s stick them in the proper European qualification groups, and see how well they get on then. Might shut the fuckers up a bit.
I really, really enjoyed that tournament. Great stuff..
Well done England Women. Showed the men how to win a really important game. The game management was fantastic.

They need to come back under the CCFC umbrella really I think. Coventry United is an odd fit.Would be nice if they did double-headers now and then at the Arena - have Coventry United L.F.C playing first followed by City.
I am in love with her
a) you're both behind meOi. There's a queue!!
Who's her partner?a) you're both behind me
b) the three of us (at least) are wasting our time behind her partner Jordan Nobbs
I had a quick look the other day. Living in Manchester I just looked at the teams up here and it's actually far better than a lot of non-league clubs in the area. They can't do much more price wise to bring people in, both are WSL teams.It’ll be interesting to see if crowds in the WSL improve, not sure what the pricing is like but surely they could give free tickets to local schools?

Googled it and she has a fella lolShe's lesbian???
watching it back and it could of beenSee the. German coach is moaning in the press that the mad scramble on our line didn't produce a penalty.
Thinks the VAR official should have asked the ref to go and look .
30 years of hurt, that tackle by Moore, when Lineaker scored etc.
It’s clearly about the mens side.
It takes away from their success to constantly compare them to the men.
The reason ‘Three Lions’ remains popular is because it captures the nations mood around failure and the dreaming of success.
I never seen Lineaker, Moore, Gazza or Psycho play football yet the sentiment of the song is just as relevant in 1996 as it is today.
For the women’s team, they had never won a major trophy before so the feelings of ‘thirty years of hurt’ and ‘It’s coming home’ is just as relevant.
In other areas, the women’s game piggy backs on the men’s to a degree. This song, however, belongs to everyone because it captures the national mood when it comes to football.
yes, she wasI have previously had a bit of a negative attitude towards the women's game, after trying to watch a few matches (between clubs that were supposed to be in the higher echelons of the English game, and even internationals) and being frankly quite shocked as to how poor the standard was.
This tournament (and last night as a case in point) has changed my view: the level of skill, killer through-passes, movement off the ball, making themselves available, game management and freedom to enjoy the game have been quite superb.
I wonder how long before someone of the calibre of Sarina Wiegman gets a chance in the men's game? I'd far rather watch a game played by people she was coaching than the negative dirge Southgate is presiding over. Or maybe the England men's players are just not very good!
I do find the Three Lions and "It's come home" approach a bit cheesy and predictable when, as Otis has said, the "23 Lionesses" are creating their own history. It still hurts that the men haven't won anything since 66, and saying the women have taken that away is no more correct than if we had said it about the 2003 Rugby World Cup.
But it was great to see an English team (in any sport, either sex) win a major international tournament again.
PS Did Chloe Kelly get booked for taking her shirt off? A man would have been!
Only watched last night, and was surprisingly impressed by the quality. I know the final should be half-decent as they're the best teams, but it was night and day compared to when I last watched a game.This tournament (and last night as a case in point) has changed my view: the level of skill, killer through-passes, movement off the ball, making themselves available, game management and freedom to enjoy the game have been quite superb.
It’s ok for now I think.They need to come back under the CCFC umbrella really I think. Coventry United is an odd fit.
You missed a moment I think. As northern says the quality was goodI didn’t watch it but then again I hardly bother watching the men’s internationals - I watch the big games but even winning the euros would have been forgotten by me in the morning
I don’t see why they compare the sports. Andy Goode isn’t the best person to support a debate but he said something in social media about not making a semi final since whenever and was told he was disrespecting the fact that the women have. He replied in typical Goode style but he’s correct
I hate that stupid three lions song anyway with that smug twerp Baddiel but if it means the end of that it’s the best outcome
I don’t get the need to integrate these team sports. Tennis is pretty equal in slams but when Murray won Wimbledon the references were to Fred Perry not Virginia Wade and when Radacanu was in the US open all references to the last winner were about Wade not Murray
The media and the sport tries too hard really to use the men’s game and piggy back off it. Having franchised big branded premier teams hardly helps either but it has to attract club supporters by being a valid attractive sport - not because it’s Man City vs Chelsea
It was. And look at some of the goals that England have scored in this tournament. Stanway's was superb and then Toone's was world class and Russo's, out of this world.You missed a moment I think. As northern says the quality was good

For the goals and the tops being taken off Otis? Me too I think I’d like to take my girls up to see if they enjoy itIt was. And look at some of the goals that England have scored in this tournament. Stanway's was superb and then Toone's was world class and Russo's, out of this world.
And Walsh can pick a pass as good as anyone in the men's game.
The skill is there. I definitely now want to go and watch some women's games in person..
