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.

Interesting discussion in half time about diversity in women's football.

that is bad news for the Netherlands!

It is indeed.

Just got home, hoping for some second half goals. They said it is drizzling there, I wish it would here

Denmark are very wasteful with their chances.

We had some drizzle earlier for about 5 minutes

Goal, Harder

That is not want they need if they are to progress, hope Harder is ok

What a save!

Sooo close for Finland.

Denmark deserved the win, they were the better team.

Back later for Germany v Spain. I fancy Germany for that one.

Agree Denmark deserved the win.

I love a summer of sport, so pleased the Euros are on, see you in a hour

But I'm going Spain!

Shocking pass from the goalkeeper.

It’s appalling, players, coaches and match officials.

It is.

I should have said 'lack of diversity' as that was what was being discussed.

I am enjoying this match.

Good goal

Yes it's been good so far

What a save!

Trying to remember if a womens football tournament has had prime time coverage on terrestrial tv before?

You've probably already discussed this upthread.

Loving the atmosphere at Brentford!

BBC showed the World Cup in France and I think Euros 2017 was on Channel 4

I think the She Believes Cup was also on the BBC

Although She Believes not our prime time.

Do the Olympics count?

Good win for Germany
