Well done to The Lionesses. I see that ex Stags goalkeeper Darren Ward is part of the England set up.

Nice to keep it Stags related

Great to see a team we support not bottle it at Wembley (also Stags related Pete).

Fantastic day for English and women's football.

I thought we'd win it after the Norway match. Was a brilliant game.

They certainly know how to celebrate that bit where they interrupt the post match interview of the manager was brilliant well done to all

[Dan]

It was absolutely amazing from start to finish. The stadium was 3/4's full over 2 hours before kick off it was ridiculous. The atmosphere was tremendous. Felt for Germany as I thought they were the better team but then so were Spain when we beat them. The ladies know how the celebrate. Some of them were still on the pitch gone 8pm!

It was refreshing to see a group so happy and relaxed and enjoying the game they play. They appeared free of burden and expectation and played with freedom throughout. The crowd were top notch too. The men’s game could learn a lot from them, including how to celebrate. I’m quite honestly bored of seeing the sour faced, overpaid multi-millionaires spouting their PR managed soulless bland drivel week after week.

They're all a breath of fresh air, they just put a smile on your face. Amazing stuff. Womens sport should be funded more.

[ParisStag]

They're a huge inspiration to my daughters, who both play u9 football.

Watching it through their eyes, I enjoyed watching them play more than the men's team, I have to say. Think they may have overtaken the men as my new 2nd favourite team, after Stags.

Germany weren’t the better side imho Dan. England shaded the first half and Germany were better in the second half. I thought the goal would knock the stuffing out of us. England dominated most of extra time and the last 5 minutes of extra time must go down as one of the best lessons on how to see out a match under extreme pressure. Something I’ve not really seen the England men ever do effectively. That’s how I saw it anyway.

Interesting that many traditional male fans still mock them.
Watching all their Euro games they do have some technically gifted players. Keira Walsh can spot a midfield pass not seen at The Mill for many a year and Leah Williamson's reading of the game as a centre half is superb.

We've had those "traditional" male fans on here before, they are staying quiet for now.

I thought Walsh was player of the tournament.

[northern stag]

Got to agree about Walsh , a bit of an unsung hero, but a very talented footballer, if we had a male version of Williamson in our team we’d be sorted , she has telepathic reading of situations !!

That most "traditional" of males is still on sabatical. He'd have had a meltdown last night listening to Alex Scott & Ian Wright.

They're still out there kicking and screaming, fighting the masculinity cause. Some of the 'jokes' I've seen circulated weren't even funny before the tournament, but to circulate them after they've just won the first major trophy in 50-odd years can only be due to a lack of intelligence. The only reason that some males dont like women involved in football is that football conversation has become one of the last bastions of male domination, where men can talk nonsense with other men to their hearts content.

You just have to look at the schools now, some of the girls are technically better than the boys at football, and that's before the turbo boost that this win will give the game - 10-20 years ago they weren't, but that was only because they'd never had the funding, support or encouragement to do it. In another 10-20 years time the womens game in this country, from the grassroots to the WSL, is going to be huge.

I have no idea to whom you refer However, I suspect whoever it is he did a Simon "pompous arse" Jordan and didn't watch any of it. Jordan (and whoever it is you are talking about) would have truly loved the fact that Alex and Wrighty and some Scandi foreigner were the pundits.
