To feel bad for the Lionesses ?

Whether footy minded or not I cannot help but feel bad for the Lionesses today with no person of note to support them. The Spanish Queen can go.It feels like an own goal to me letting the Ladies down. Not a good look for our country I think.What do you think?

Plus of course Katarina Johnson-Thompson who has just won gold in the heptathlon at the World Athletics Champs! 😁😁 Now she is a role model for our female athletes - what an outstanding performance!

I don't enjoy netball, but there is no denying how many females are introduced to sport, kept in sport, or return to sport, via netball. I don't get the obsession with the female footballers, when there are women in so many other sports - many of who have been excelling for years!

Well done to KJT for winning the heptathlon gold medal at the Athletics World Champs today

Now she is amazing and in many disciplines, I've been admiring her since just before Jessica ennis retired.

There was nothing stopping Meghan. Why do you think she didn’t go?

Well I heard a rumour its something to do with something that someone in the RF said about her.

She is there. Shows how much you really care.

What a strange, aggressive post. I didn’t say she wasn’t there.

In fact, I believe it was you who said she wasn’t, when you posted this
Are you equally outraged that Lucy Frazer mp, minister for culture, media and sport is not there?

Sorry for the late reply - yes, indeed, an amazing achievement!

Yawn. Just another hyped up media nothing to distract us from what's really happening in the world.

Lionesses were amazing. And their manager. Got to final. Won euros last year. That’s quite something. And love, love goalie Mary Earps. As for royals or PM not being there, I’d echo Mary Earps reaction after she saved penalty! Don’t know how to add that clip, but it’s a classic

I'm upset but not disappointed. They did very well and I am very proud of the whole team and pleased to see increased coverage and support for women's football.

@NHSarah you can’t seriously be comparing Netball to football?😂 One is a Mickey Mouse sport on a par with tiddlywinks and the other is the most popular sport in the world.

Just because something is "the most popular sport in the world" doesn't make it the best sport. Where I live football has only become popular in relatively recent years, and it's not the most popular sport here. However, we are a sporting nation overall, and don't tend to make stupid, not to mention insulting, comments such as yours about sports which others play, and we applaud all our sportsmen/women.

Anyone know when the Lionesses touch down in the UK?
