Come on THE GIRLS

[InChocolateWeTrust]

Just to say how bloody good are our Lionesses?

ROAR

Yeah it’s great! I have tix to final on Sunday bought a year ago so v excited about seeing England play 😍

Yeah!

Brilliant. Put the men to shame, they do.

Bloody fabulous.

They are women not girls but yes it's brilliant.

Just love how accurate and fast their passing is and they attacked right to the end, 4 wasn’t enough they kept going- go on girls!!!

Sashagabadon you lucky lady!!

I just said to my (all male) family, the women have got fed up of waiting for the men to bring football home and are going to sort it out themselves.

Absolutely gripping game, I found it more entertaining than the men. More passion, they were gritty, and they attacked, a lot. The men’s game has become too clinical and defensive. A joy to watch and what role models they are.

Except they call themselves girls

It was brilliant, can't wait for Sunday😀

I agree. So much better to watch than the men's game which is poisoned by egos. The women actually play as a team and they never give up on a ball.

Do they? OK fair enough.
Wish they wouldn't.

Yep! Going with sisters, neices and daughter. Tix were only £15!

Wish they wouldn't.

Why? Is it somehow insulting to call someone a girl? I'd say to my husband "I'm going for a drink with the girls", in the same way he'd say he's going for one with the boys.... in both cases the friends in question are in their 30s. Isn't it just an informal & sort of affectionate way to refer to people?

Loved it. Hoping it's Germany in the final. C'mon!

They were fabulous! Shaky in the first half but they picked it up …!!

Some of them might be girls? I don’t know much about them but some of the England mens team are literally still teenagers aren’t they?

I think with the term ‘girls’ it’s always fine if it’s the group themselves who are using it, not Bob Bobson in the office using it to talk down to the women he works with, type of thing.

Excellent.

Sheesh. Let’s not fall out.

If that's what they want! I just only say it when talking about children personally.
But yeh no falling out, they were amazing.

I've loved watching this tournament (used to play for a National league women's team in the 00s and things have come on so much since then). Trying not to get too excited as the final will be incredibly tough, regardless of who we play. Same happened last year with the men and Italy.

If we win it...and that's a big if, what a wonderful thing that will be. Reading the comments by a lot of men on social media sports pages is depressing as usual though. Still a long way to go on that front.

What are they saying?

My other half loves watching them play. He says they are better than the men team,as they don't roll around pretending to be hurt for 5 minutes, they get up and continue to play great football. 😁

I’ve noticed a lot of men following it (fewer women, sadly).

Honestly I still think the standard is quite poor, which is reflected in the disparity between different teams (leading to a high incidence of one-sided high scoring games). That said, England being one of the few good teams does make it a fun watch!

I really hope more women and girls start getting consistently interested.
