Euro 22 Women‘s edition.

[Redemption]

I'm starting to think Wembley has a set playlist for celebrations of just can't get enough, Freed from Desire and rocking all over the world

Free from Desire is a popular stadium banger.

I listen to 5liveSport a lot.

I listen to 5liveSport a lot.

I can safely say that since Wembley, when ever they go to a stadium anywhere, in any sport... freed from desire will be blasting out of the PA at least once during the event.

Was at both Euro 22 Semis this week, Commonwealth Games + one other, which i forgot already.

Every week I hear it now.

Standard Stadium Banger

But I think for FA events, they also use the same DJ so I think he has probably added Can't Get Enough to his repertoire now.

 

[NFFCMagz]

Ah wor aht watchin' the English bods on the larrup t'day, same as I would the England lads, same level of support, and ahm dead proud on em. Well done, Lionesses.

A few things to take away:

Thum Jermin lasses are dotteh and know ahta fahl. The cheeky boggerz.

That buck-toothed, bowd, owd twat, iz father and grand-mother need to be f**ked off ASAP as thiz are jus' a bunch on antiquated, band-wagon jumping, shit housing snobs. Ahm aware thiz a few on yer on ere that'll not like it but I'm not that bothered, to be honest. Those wokin' class bods from all ova our country - including the 'keeper, from Notts - av done more t'mek me proud than that family of scrounging knobheads ever have done or will do. Get rid on 'em, now. Vevo 'public! Gerrum gone!

The lock down inspired by Chloe Kelly's sports bra was more welcome than any on the others wiv ad to purrup wi, the last couple on years, Good on her. Winner.

Ah managed to ger ohm wi'aht dumpin' or wazzin' mi'sen!

 

[Strummer]

Germany‘s only trash-tabloid, Bild, has not taken the defeat well:

„The Title dream is shattered after a scandalous scene. Clear handball penalty refused. England wins after extra-time. Wembley fraud again“



Oh, well.

Edit: the bottom bit says „Shirt off, England‘s naked cheering madness“ (which is a bit spicy, even for Bild).

 

[Strummer]

Also;

We have been waiting over 2.000 years for Jesus to return, but football came home after 56 years, last night.

Statistical proof, if you needed it, that the Lionesses are thirty-five times better than Jesus.

And on the evidence of this tournament, they’re much better on crosses, too.

if that's true, clear handball penalty refused, then it makes the erection even bigger. doesn't it?

 

[Omar Devone Little]

Dont care for women's football (or women's sport) generally, just not my bag but pleased they won last night. Always good for the nation especially to do the Germans at Wembley.

I have a daughter who's not even one yet but stuff like this and the women's cricket team winning tournaments will hopefully inspire her and others to take up the game.

Exactly my attitude and people think you have to watch it and take notice of it or it proves that you want them to lose. Its not the case why would anyone deny all that happiness yesterday?!?!? I am so happy that everyone was giddy and excited its so nice to see unity and unity behind England which will always get me on board anyway cause I bloody love England I may have already said that

Its like yesterday morning my mum was watching the tandem para triathlon on the commonwealths and I caught the end of the race and England won and we both clapped and celebrated. I want England to win everything and anything.

Also I have recently watched the short Bill Burr clip about women sports stars moaning about equal pay and he rips into it brilliantly but his main point is why shout at men its womens eyes and money that should be discussed. Why are the Kardashians getting billions, Love Island stars getting millions, housewifes shows etc..... So anything that shows a team of woman coming together and succeeding is amazing and promotes values that are worth savoring, promoting and to be proud off. Well done the Lionessess.

 

[Danga]

Likewise Yeezy, never cared for it, paid no attention to this tournament either but well done on their success.

Sadly though, it seems to have already brought out the worst in people, using it as a stick to beat the men's team with despite us getting to a semi final and final in the last two international competitions they have been in.

Do they also mention the endless fouls the Germans got away with and leaving boots in on the keeper etc

 

[Berkshire Red]

Oh yes, this times a million.

And those revisionists who have already decided that the men should win in the same way, that there was no diving, shirt pulling and rolling around by our girls.

I can only assume that those folk didn't watch the game at all. The only thing that concerned me was that the Germans were far better at the darker arts than ours. They evidently learned their gamesmanship from their male counterparts.

Well played our girls! I am very happy that they won. Just let's not compare it to the male game 'cos they're not the same.

 

[Captain Sinister]

I don't know if anyone has mentioned it, but the winning goal scorer's celebration is worth watching time and again... in slow motion.
Ref was jealous of the girl's endowment so gave her a yellow card... tragic.

 

[valspoodle]

The tournament started quietly and most football fans were a bit sniffy about women's football. But the girls and youngsters didn't care, they dragged Dad or Mum along and gradually the tournament kicked off.

Nationally, we're a bit starved of success and are willing to grab it with both hands and last night it might as well have been the men who were playing judging by the hysteria and viewing figures.

Well played the ladies, they ignited the spirit and I hope they go on to greater things. They have overcome prejudice and the doubters triumphantly.

Thats also a problem for me because when doing a comparison the womans game will only come off worse. They are completely separate and if you treat it like that than you will get so much sympathy. Its like people trying to say Ellen White is going to break Rooney's record or that the years of hurt are over. Lets just stop that, literally no other sport treats the situation like that. In the Olympics you wouldnt make the sports comparable and its been like that for years. It also dosent work backwards does it? The Womans rugby won the world cup and they treated it like wed have never won the cup before which is correct and the happiness was warranted but if you were to judge it like some people in the media are trying to do with football by making it the same than we won the rugby world cup in 2003 so why the over hype?

Also I think its because its the BBC because LIverpool won the womans premier league in 2013 literally no one has tried to say that Liverpool ended their premier league drought in 2013 so I dont get it, its all being laid on a bit thick and it feels like its designed to be like that but thats just a feeling I could be wrong.

How about for everyone yesterday just enjoy what it is which is Englands womans first international major trophy at home in from of 85K. That is a story in itself for womans football that was not long amateur. They should be proud of their achievements not comparing it to the men.

They already do it in cricket. When Dawid Malan scored an ODI ton recently apparently he became the THIRD England batter to score a ton in all three International formats (T20, ODI and Test). The other TWO? Jos Buttler and Heather Knight.

Sorry, NO! Heather Knight has never scored a Test ton against men and wouldn't get near fifty let alone one hundred. She sure as hell wouldn't have enough time to score a T20 ton as she wouldn't clear even the shorter men's boundaries. The comparisons should never be made. Unfortunately it's too late.

Bollocks to the German tabloids, "the replays will also show that we won a game of football...". Stick that on your schnitzel and eat it.

 

[Any Time Now]

And the GK was Nottingham born Earps which is a cherry on top of your victory, technically ex-forest although she only had a couple of appearances during the 2010/11 season

 

[mattw]

Always good to beat the Germans. The media reaction is over the top and the comparison with the men's game spurious but the girls have done well and if their success helps in getting more girls playing football then credit to them.

The big test for this England team is getting up to the level of the US, who dominate women's football. To do that and win the next World Cup really would be a huge sporting achievement.

Maybe to grow the game the Football authorities need to get the top club teams in Europe playing against the top MLS teams. Make it different to a copy of the men's structure.

Oh, and this:

https://twitter.com/i/web/status/1554044270494957569

I almost had to jump through some glass doors to get away from seeing that as I'd lost the remote.

 

[Mr. Blonde]

So I was out watching the game with my wife and daughters and my wife's friend who hitherto has been completely anti-football, and would baulk whenever I mentioned Forest or the England mens side. But when I pointed out that this was the most engaged in football I'd ever seen her she replied "yeah but it's the women"

Now this is someone who being a friend of my better half I have spent plenty of time with so despite biting my tongue I eventually could hold out no longer and felt it incumbent upon me to point out that I thought that was rather sexist as were it the other way round it would be called out by pretty much everyone.

Which was met with silence.

I guess I just don't understand why football can't be like tennis or athletics in that both genders are by and large on the same level in the public perception?

But then I guess I'm influenced by only having daughters who are both massively sporty, I don't know.

 

[Omar Devone Little]

Exactly and it’s easier in the womens game because proportionally less woman play sport than men so you have a bigger talent pool in the male game. It’s just absurd and in my opinion damages the likability of the woman’s game not enhance it. For example this stupid comparison stuff wasn’t there when we won gold medal curling with Rhona Martin and I stayed up specifically to watch that. With this comparison nonsense it just puts needlessly off.

What I would say as well is that it is probably easier for England women to be successful at the moment than the men. Someone may be able to correct me here but I'm sure most women's leagues around Europe/the world are semi-professional?

Not to take away from their achievement but more to show how the two can't be compared.

EDIT: just checked and 3 European countries have professional leagues, England, Germany and France so no surprise that they all made the semi finals.
