Women's Football - European Championships starting Wed 6/7

[BellaAmorosa]

Anyone else excited about the women's euros? I'd love to follow the progress of the teams (especially England) with any football-supporting Mumsnetters. Thrilled that it's a home tournament, commiserations to Scotland and Wales for not making it through qualification. Huge congratulations to NI, qualifying for the very first time.

Doesn't have to be just match-related, either - comments on the background to each women's team (especially from non-British fans), and of course the kits all welcomed.

Good save France

Completely agree with this.

No stopping those, 1-0 Germany

1-1. 👏👏👏go France

Great strike, 1-1

I enjoyed that first half and an exciting finish.

It's gone down as an own goal for the German goalie

Literally just turned on to see France score.

Well I think this is amazing and as I understand your username I shall be saying my friend played on the winning side.

Thought the French defence was poor for the Germany goal, feel for the German GK but as a neutral please at the Half time result.

Oh Tess, you made we well up. You can't underestimate the power of role models.

Well done the BBC

i much prefer the French free running side. The Germans seem dead practiced and well not so inventive. But I know nowt about footie tbf.

That was lovely

That german player went down a bit too quick. Arm barely touched her.

2 big chances for France

France seem to picking up a beat now. Germany are strangely subdued.

Hope it goes to extra time. Tire them out.

Another squandered chance.

German player gets a yellow for the shirt-grabbing and shoving that France have been doing all night...

Germany scores, second for Popp

Yep.

VAR check

Germany won this.

Goal stands

French defence seemed rooted to ground for that goal

I dont see France yanking this one back now.

Oof, close!

Cmon France
