Again, very American like the whole thing. Same as the Spain fans celebrating the pen being saved.

You know the president of FIFA is a wrong un when he rocks up on the podium wearing white trainers with a suit.
You have daughters nick. Your attitude to women's football is disgusting man
No I have one. Does that mean I should pretend?You have daughters nick. Your attitude to women's football is disgusting man
I dunno bout no outrage. I didn't even know it was an issue till you posted it.No I have one. Does that mean I should pretend?
It's nearly as bad as the faux outrage about a keeper shirt not being on sale.
"Disgusting"really?
It's the fact that you seem to think that by having a daughter means you must pretend you love women's football.I dunno bout no outrage. I didn't even know it was an issue till you posted it.
But I dunno what's so funny about saying if a kid wants keeper shirt be nice if it available to buy.
Don't have to love it. But you shouldnt be down on it. Should want it get get better and better incase your daughter or someone elses has a dream to play it one dayIt's the fact that you seem to think that by having a daughter means you must pretend you love women's football.
It's worse when people speak about things like that pen save like it's an achievement of a 5 year old and it was amazing.Don't have to love it. But you shouldnt be down on it. Should want it get get better and better incase your daughter or someone elses has a dream to play it one day
That's BS. There is a boy at my school who became a goal keeper based on Jordan Pickford in the world cup few years back and that pen shootout Vs Colombia. He's a idol to him.It's worse when people speak about things like that pen save like it's an achievement of a 5 year old and it was amazing.it's patronising.
Probably handing out medals for last place in sports days as well.

No that the save might not inspire a young child to take up the sport. Amazing or not. I brought the same GK gloves Neil Sullivan wore in 1998 just cos I saw one game where played well and I decided he was best keeper on earth lol. I gave up after a few games down park as preferred outfield but for some it may stick.What's bs? That it wasn't an "amazing" save?
Give it 2 months and nobody will remember it.
I do think some people have it in for women's footballNo that the save might not inspire a young child to take up the sport. Amazing or not.

Women's football is clearly coming on leaps and bounds. If you focus on little things that annoy you personally rather than look at big picture I think it's a shame.
It's getting better but not same yet. That will take timeI do think some people have it in for women's football
I understand the annoyance of all the overhype and media frenzy etc, but be annoyed with the media and the papers. Don't be annoyed with women's football. It's not their fault everyone else is bigging it up.
I am moving to Folkestone soon and if they have a women's team, I will gladly go along and have a look.
I think it's great young girls at school are now getting the same chance the boys have always had.
It's getting better but not same yet. That will take time
I have had students asking me to be manager of girls team as PE won't make one.
When I looked into it they said not enough girls interested to make a team. And tbh it'd true as I know about 7-8 girls that want to play but spread over year groups so I'm not sure if it's possible. But I will look into it
Well said. We weren't unlucky today though.Templars primary have one of the best girls teams in cov , 3 players at academies .. we played the boys on a friendly and it was 3-1 .
I coach a girls Saturday team u12s , in the Premier league next season against West Bromwich albion and coventry city .
Some girls like my daughter also play in a boys team on a Sunday and don't look out of place .
They are however 2 different games and impossible to compare, boys are fitter stronger and faster but that doesn't mean that the game can't be enjoyed .. it's the same as non league football fans watching an inferior product to the Premier league , they still enjoy it .
Either way the women's team did well , both the men's and womens teams are competing for trophies now
Well said. We weren't unlucky today though.
It's the media that talks about 1966 etc.
It's two different games. Same sport, two different disciplines almost.
Love watching the City play, but if the Sky Blues ladies team were half decent, I would go and watch them and love watching them too.
Agree.We don't treat women's tennis with such disdain even though we know its a different level .. hopefully football can get to that level of respect that women's tennis enjoys

I feel the same about England's men tbh city always firstI’d have taken 3 points yesterday over them winning the WC today, guess that’s where I am with it. Very pro it but not that fussed about it
I feel the same about England's men tbh city always first
I think the difference is that women's tennis doesn't try and merge into men's in the same way.We don't treat women's tennis with such disdain even though we know its a different level .. hopefully football can get to that level of respect that women's tennis enjoys
AmenI feel the same about England's men tbh city always first

To be fair they don't always get it right and Nike would of made decent money if they had.
