Women's football success

[jowwy]

You care enough to comment though.

No i cared enough to state there is already a football thread…..we dont need another one

Yebbut they get the same money for only playing best of three sets instead of five, or something... er.

Are you in that picture? Hope you didn't cause any of your Jack crowd problems.

Doubtless Jowly will insist this post gets moved to the Swearing thread...

I hope this St George's face paint washes off - I'm working at the Eisteddfod tomorrow.

Brilliant game, brilliant result, and I had a brilliant video call after the game with my friend's 2 young girls who now want to play football.
For me this tops it all, the inspiration and belief that team of women have given young girls all over the UK.

Really pleased for them. Even Mrs B who usually has no interest in football took note.
Hopefully this will be one more step towards dismantling outdated attitudes.

But really why do they have to go on about it.??

Can't they just totally win at the football, then go home quietly, and shut up about it, like nice modest girls would..??

They'll start getting ideas about themselves.

It's just 'success signalling'

If it doesn't you're going to have to quickly invent a troubling new skin condition..

Or could you just overpaint with a mahoosive red dragon ??

Also must mention the comparison between the men's Euro final last year at Wembley and the family friendly carnival atmosphere for the women's final. No excessive drinking, drug taking, storming turnstiles, violence, booing national anthems etc. I know which game I would have preferred to attend, and not just for the result.
A massive, massive positive for the beautiful game.

I know. Shoving it in our faces, down our throats etc.

This made me laugh..

Does she speak to you in those quiet moments??

What does she say Jim.??

Lor, look at me taking an interest in the football.

I did watch the world cup final with the purple haired person, which was ok, but that will probably do for another decade or so..

Anyway up, well done everyone, grit, dedication, determination, teamwork etc etc all to be applauded..
