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 question re Olympics!

They don't have football in the commonwealth games am I right? Or the European Championship coming up in Munich.

Any I digress

Poor Switzerland, 9 players down with food poisoning.

Noooo awful!

No pen, right decision

Not very exciting this match, Switzerland defending very well.

That's a lot better

Great goal from Hannah Bennison to seal the win for Sweden.

Hup Holland!

Fgs var! Still can't get used to it! Hate the way the celebration gets cut and that look was so slow! Close atm though!

No var needed for that one.

Yes but it still ruins the atmosphere. Like drs in cricket.

Anyway, I'm not very knowledgeable.

Oh var annoys me greatly, especially in the epl, but I think it has been ok this tournament. That offside decision took far too long though.

Phew, a win is a win.

Antone watching tonights match? I wasnt expecting much maybe because in this situation the mens team would bemoving half heartedly around the pitch.

Sad for NI about the own goal. Ive been supporting both teams due to NI Ddad.

As we had qualified the beach was calling so haven't watched the match tonight, will watch it when I get home.

Didn't know about the own goal, that is a shame.

Yes I watched it, another strong performance.

I really hope that NI can build on the back of this tournament. The game has moved on from part time players and it shows.

Austria through in second place.

Loved this match! England really outclassed NI though. Our defenders will need some more practise…!

Who will join Germany in qualifying for the next round, Spain or Denmark?

I think Spain

Yes looks like Spain, I'm switching between the two games but can't see Denmark winning

England v Spain it is then ⚽

Some extra trains at Kew bridge would have been nice

Did you go to the match? Atmosphere sounded great on tv.

Yeah it was pretty fun but I was waiting a long time for a goal!

Haha indeed.

Sweden and Netherlands through to quarter finals.
I wasn't too impressed with Holland, especially the defence but luckily the subs made the difference.
