The English women footballers are not 'lionessess'. They are just some females who like kicking a ball around.

That's a lot of words for saying you believe those women belong to the kitchen

You're such a negative nancy! The womens soccer world cup and Australia getting to the semi's is a game-changer in the recognition of women's sport being just as 'real' and 'legit' as mens sport.

There's no doubt there's been an awful lot of hype both before and during this tournament. Perhaps almost to the point of overkill and over saturation of media time and column inches.
But I have to say it's been fantastic to watch !
Yes all the favourites have been close to the business end of it but there's been some truly outstanding performances from countries that you had no idea actually played football let alone were good enough to to influence a world cup !
'Ladylike' ?.... maybe not in the traditional sense.
But then look how long it took women being 'ladylike' to even get the right to vote or be considered as worthy of anything else a man has the right to.
I'm listening to the nonsense debate on whether America should be paying it's female workers the same as men !
That argument was trashed back in the 70's in the UK ! By law !
It's a nonsense !
So. Sing the national anthem loud and proud. Wear your colours with pride. Scream at the television in hopes of influencing the game (just as us boys do) and realize you're witnessing the beginnings of female inclusion !
Girls and women of all ages; races; faiths and abilities now have the 'permission' to train; hone their skills; learn the rules and compete in the greatest game on Earth !

Beth Mead's kinda attractive

What a match
England dominated all the time
Shitty ref
Many yellow cards deserved for England in first half!
Finally one yellow in second half
Ref didn’t hesitate to give a yellow to Spain
In 12th minute of extra time two Spanish players tackled from behind, NO YELLOW CARDS
Disgraceful

Well I find it much better than the shitty quality of male football for sure!

Lmao. Lord have mercy
Who let this dinosaur survive the extinction?

Our aussie Matildas are one hot bunch! Super talented and they don't need any 'sugar coating' to make them legitimate. They are genuine, honest, hard-working young women who have proven themselves in their own right and they should be honoured and rewarded.

The best advice you can give another person is "be yourself" in most situations. Except you, you need to be someone else.

I just watch to see their boobies bounce around

the whole thing is ridiculous.

Are you serious?

You realize that [i]who[/i] is playing football does not even affect you personally, right?

But if you want to whinge, it's better to whinge about all the resources wasted on stadium sports by society (willingly and unwillingly) [i]in general[/i], regardless of [i]who[/i] is playing those sports

To be fair soccer is a girl's sport when you look at it.if if
