I know and I was just thinking how incredible it is that the woman’s squad has pulled off what the men have failed to in nearly 60 years. Bloody brilliant. And I don’t even like football.

And yet the thread trending throughout the match was about Princess Charlotte not attending.

Davethecat2000 · 31/07/2022 19:49

Women were banned from playing in the 1920's!

And can I just say how nice to see a crowd made up of so many women and children.

I don't usually watch but did happen to see this game! I was thinking it wasn't going to happen with some of what I saw in the second half. Glad we did it though!Grin

Absolutely brilliant. Such a pleasure to see all age groups there too.
I loved watching the women play much more entertaining
than the men.
Congratulations Lionesses👌

Absolutely! I didn't like football before but my DF loves the Lionesses and it's him who got me into it. Go the Lionesses!! Amazing to watch such a talented team 👏

They’re phenomenal!

hobbledyhoy · 31/07/2022 19:58

Incredible. Well done ladies!

Inspiring to see so many young girls in the crowd.

TheCrowening · 31/07/2022 19:58

I went to school in the 90s and I was desperate to play football but me and my friends weren’t allowed because girls didn’t play football.

we’ve come a long way. Congratulations to them all!

Showing the men how it's done Smile

Egglantina · 31/07/2022 19:59

My boys are out in the garden playing football in celebration of their achievement. Inspirational for all! Well done!

squashyhat · 31/07/2022 19:59

Rugby is my game but I loved every second of it. Fantastic result and so joyous to see them celebrating.

TheGetaway · 31/07/2022 19:59

They never would have believed this in 1966
😂

awwbiscuits · 31/07/2022 20:03

Really not bothered about football usually but loved this as an opportunity to show dd how brilliant women can be!

fakename13778 · 31/07/2022 20:05

Feeling so emotional watching the sheer unbridled joy in their celebrations

safetyfreak · 31/07/2022 20:07

Brilliant, well done ladies.

fakename13778 · 31/07/2022 20:07

And loving Ian Wright getting angry at how shit it is that they make it so hard for people to watch women's games

Afterfire · 31/07/2022 20:07

Just been celebrating with my son aged 10. Just amazing!

jazzandh · 31/07/2022 20:08

Epic for women and football. What an achievement....so thrilled for them! It feels like so much more than winning a football game

Felixsmama · 31/07/2022 20:08

Find it funny the men have been waiting for a tournament win since 1966 and the women pull it out the bag. Seen a lot misogynistic comments towards the team which is a shame.
