I've a feeling we will get very far if not win.
Thrashed China 6-1.
Why the lack of interest?

There’s a thread on it

MelonsOnSaleAgain · 01/08/2023 20:12

I’m an equal opportunities hater of football. Don’t care who’s playing, I’m just not fussed!

FrenchandSaunders · 01/08/2023 20:13

In sport

FrenchandSaunders · 01/08/2023 20:13

I agree we have a good chance, they played so well today. Great match

LlynTegid · 01/08/2023 20:14

I wonder if the weekday morning kick-off times or it being in July/August has reduced interest.

yogasaurus · 01/08/2023 20:14

I just can’t get into womens football, sorry.

Halo8 · 01/08/2023 20:14

I dislike football, doesn’t matter who is playing.

NuffSaidSam · 01/08/2023 20:14

I don't think Mumsnet is generally awash with football threads is it? I don't remember much interest in the men's world cup either.

10oclock · 01/08/2023 20:14

Umm because lots of people are not fussed about football?!

LlynTegid · 01/08/2023 20:14

What I have noticed is there seem a higher proportion of players who are left footed than in the men's game.

FrivolousTreeDuck · 01/08/2023 20:15

The game of football just doesn't interest me. I wish the women well but I don't have any comment to make on the tournament.

thinkkook · 01/08/2023 20:15

Couldn't give less of a toss about football regardless of who is playing.

MrsJBaptiste · 01/08/2023 20:16

Well I really don't like football but women's football is even worse to me. I'm sick of hearing about it on the Sports news to be honest.

MadisonAvenue · 01/08/2023 20:19

I can’t get into women’s football.

I’ve got a season ticket for a Premier League men’s team and love going to games but I’ve no interest in the women’s teams.

martinisforeveryone · 01/08/2023 20:19

Loving it. We were watching today while we were babysitting. My DH had little one on his lap and I heard him tell her, this could be you one day.

cakecoffeecakecoffee · 01/08/2023 20:19

I’m just not interested in football, whether it is men or women. Plus it’s on while I’m working.
I had 1 teenager who I work with mention it this week but other than that I’ve not seen or heard anything.

Geranuimgal · 01/08/2023 20:20

It's more than just football though, it represents the skill of the women of this country. I just thought more females would be behind them.

underneaththeash · 01/08/2023 20:22

No interest in some people I don't know kicking a ball around (male or female).

I don't really get the whole watching sport - unless my children are playing it.

FinanceLPlates · 01/08/2023 20:22

Well I for one am interested and have been watching it where I can but it’s usually on when I’m working.

CandyflossKaren · 01/08/2023 20:22

I've seen other threads

Just because it's women doesn't mean we should drop everything and froth over it!

AnIntrovert · 01/08/2023 20:23

I am not into football, male or female.

And skills make no difference. There are plenty of skills I admire more than kicking a ball.

ClaraThePigeon · 01/08/2023 20:24

I'm glad that women's sports are receiving more attention and tv time but I have no interest in football whatsoever. I'm also not English. I wish them well but I'm really not interested.

gogomoto · 01/08/2023 20:25

Could not be less interested, ditto men's football

Geranuimgal · 01/08/2023 20:25

Wow well so much for women coming together. The sisterhood is alive and well here-or maybe not 😬

ClaraThePigeon · 01/08/2023 20:27

I never understand why I have to be interested in literally everything that women are doing just because I am one.
