I wish I had but we tend to go to Rugby. I have yet to go to a football international. Winning the world cup would bring more people to the games.

Did you go to the England-Germany qualifier? I wanted to but one minute there were loads of tickets and the next all gone once the cap was imposed.

I am more worried about the Germans Yonic, they have a bad habit of winning. The group games it is just qualify, although losing on a penalty shoot out to France back in 2011 is a little worrying.

Seriously though Germany will be the team to beat.

Remember, England Women's rugby won the world cup last year!

Signing in... As a Scot (yeah, don't laugh please...) I haven't decided who to support.

Oh, this is women's football world cup is it? . I am so (deliberately) uninformed about all sport. Good luck team.

Been looking forward to this for a while, be amazing if we could win it so we (England) held both the Football and Rugby world cups something the men have never done.
