If anyone is feeling the results of the England Spain match tonight, or dreading tomorrow - Women's Aid is there to offer help and advice.

Lancaster University research showed cases of domestic abuse increased by 38% when England lost a match and 26% when they won or drew.

Sick of football snobbery
I had a baby battered out of me after rugby World Cup final

Pretty sure the message will filter down to all sports in the end, it has to start somewhere.

My mind went to this after tonight's defeat 😟. My thoughts are with those affected. Hope your escape comes soon.

Oh that is absolutely awful.
I'm so sorry that happened to you.
It just beggars belief sport can have this effect on men's behaviour.

It beggars belief that men can use sport as an excuse to hurt women.

@bittertwisted I hope you are in a better place now.
