Lionesses 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

I've been watching like a coward, through my hands and crossing everything in hopes we win.

We fuck we have.

CloudyMcCloud · 16/08/2023 12:56

So good

Me too! Go glad my daughter has this team for inspiration.

RocketIceLollie · 16/08/2023 12:58

Really tough game but I think England were certainly the better of the teams and deserving of their place in the final.

StartupRepair · 16/08/2023 12:58

Well played the Lionesses.

PetitPorpoise · 16/08/2023 12:58

I thought they were mentally very cool and in control. When Aus were pressing in the second half, they took that last chance beautifully which was a stark contrast to Aus who were ahowing desperation.

Great watch, edge if your seat stuff - well done Lionesses!!

the80sweregreat · 16/08/2023 12:58

Put that in your pipes Matilda's !
.. get in

littlbrowndog · 16/08/2023 12:58

Sunday 10 am 😎😎

burblish · 16/08/2023 13:00

Yeeeeeees!! GET IN!

I was watching on iPlayer at my desk at work with my headphones on, but forgot myself and cheered so loudly at the England goals that I totally gave myself away to all my colleagues 😁

StartupRepair · 16/08/2023 13:01

This is the best Australia has ever done. Still lots to learn.

TanteRose · 16/08/2023 13:01

Well done Lionesses!!🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿
the Tillies did really well but were definitely outplayed

Remaker · 16/08/2023 13:01

Congrats England. But like the rest of Australia I’ll be cheering for Spain in the final!

PickledMuffin · 16/08/2023 13:05

🥳👏👏👏

FrenchandSaunders · 16/08/2023 13:06

What a match

StartupRepair · 16/08/2023 13:08

England are really strong. I reckon they will see off Spain.

littlbrowndog · 16/08/2023 13:10

Am Scottish. Cheering for the lionesses

WeetabixTowels · 16/08/2023 13:13

I’m actually quite emotional.

I’ve been following England women’s for over a decade. When the stadiums were empty and they players weren’t even close to being household names. It used to really frustrate me that people didn’t even know a women’s team existed.

Just been to our local where people of both sexes and all ages, crammed in together to support the Lionesses and cheer the way they do the men.

wonderful

littlbrowndog · 16/08/2023 13:16

Wow Serena so emotional

DuncinToffee · 16/08/2023 12:53

Huh? Is this about the cricket by any chance?

Australians as a nation can be a little too much all about the winning. It makes them bad losers sometimes, and also bad ungracious winners. Whatever the sport.

A bit of friendly bantz is ok (i'm not in UK most of my friends who aren't English are supporting Australia. There have been some very near the knuckle comments and abuse and i have already blocked one person who i thought was generally ok. It's fine, that's life but it is completely unnecessary.)

Alexandra2001 · 16/08/2023 13:17

Yeeeeeessssss!

What a game! Now lets see the men who run the UK's media get behind this amazing achievement!

Yesabsolutely · 16/08/2023 13:17

Great result Lionesses 👏

It's great to see how far women's football has come.

There is still a lot more to come

I agree

There are many wonderful things about this World Cup and they include Australia and New Zealand's excellent hosting, allowing the football to be at its best.

The referees and officials have been excellent. The coaches & teams have been great. I can't really complain about how it has been televised in the UK, with the BBC and ITV sharing the honours.

It's now the lead item on the BBC lunchtime news.

And it's about bloody time.
