Rolling Women's Football Thread season 2022/23 - WSL, Championship and more

[DuncinToffee]

Football has come home!

To build on the success of the Lionesses and the increasing interest in women's football, we are starting a brand new thread to continue celebrating the beautiful game

Enjoy!

Lots for Sarina to work on. Roll on Tuesday for the Aussie game.

Following on from the blue shorts, this is an interesting article about how 70% of girls are put off playing sport in their teens by the skimpy/tight clothing (netball skirts etc).

the reason i like talking about football on MN is that the idiots who ask me to quote the offside rule etc, that i encounter on twitter, are absent.

I'll take the apology, Parky.

Law not rule Brefugee

Busted! (get back to Twitter! 😂)

@Brefugee - wow!

Enjoyed the match last night! Great competitive match

Tonight was just painful to watch. Gave away the ball so many times, no energy, no passion, no anything! A well deserved loss.

Oh no I missed this! First defeat for ages. Will the highlights be on motd?

Not sure. I do think a lot of the players must be knackered. It's coming up to the end of the season. Many of them are playing WSL, Champion's League and the FA Cup back to back. Sarina herself said they are playing too many matches.

Hopefully we will learn from this. Better now than in the World Cup.

Kerr is amazing. We need to make sure she can't get the ball.

Great semi-final between MU and Brighton today. Happy MU got through but hoping this is the start of better things for Brighton.

Would be nice if Villa channel the same energy tomorrow against Chelsea.

Villa just short today but hugely improved. They definitely gave Chelsea a few scares.

Sorry wrong thread!

Big game tonight: Man U vs Arsenal on BBC3/iplayer at 19:15. Could have a huge impact on the top of the table.

Yes, watching. We're playing well considering half the Arsenal team are now injured.

Arsenal is cursed, I swear. Poor Leah, hope it's not too serious. They did play well, considering. Zinsberger almost levelled it in the last few seconds!

I think Man U will end up 2nd in the table. Chelsea would have to lose two of their remaining games to concede, which seems unlikely. Still a great result for MU, gets them into the CL which will hopefully be enough to keep Mary, Ona and Alessia around for another year.

@MattDamon

Yes, Zinsberger's near miss actually made me feel worse as we were so close.

We've been so unlucky but then Mead and Williamson have played virtually every Arsenal and England game this year, so perhaps they have just been overplayed.

Devastating news for Leah Williamson: ACL injury confirmed.

Just saw that, all the best to Leah

Yes, so sad for her.

Gutted for LW! And the England team…

Champion's League semi-final today, Chelsea vs. Barcelona today at 12:30 PM on the DAZN youtube channel:

Millie Bright is still out after knee surgery. Wishing her a speedy recovery.

I have only seen the score and that Lucy Bronze went off injured, how was the match?
