But support Should be the Key word, for the Moment in time,und Not Male-Macho cynicism,that comes too often to the fore...! There have been periods over the last 25 years,where Womens sport ( Not just English women) where I have enjoyed internationally more the Womens playing Presentation,than that of the men...! Oh yeah I'm supporting them, and I'll watch their next two game.

Me too...,But I wont get the beer,flags,und crisps out.....If they win,I might spend a few Nights down the Pub mentioning it,but Not a year disecting and discussing it... I wont buy the DVD,just might Watch it once again. There lies the difference.... Though When they come on ,I enjoy the highlights of England Cricket women,winning the cup...I just wouldnt stop My viewing,because of it.
Countryfox Posted 28 June 2019 Posted 28 June 2019 Interesting article about why the US has dominated women’s football ... so let’s stop taking the piss and get behind our team ... and for all those people on here that have been coming out with ridiculous comments like ‘that one looks tasty’ and another ‘has nice lippy on’ or that ‘Neville is a dead ringer for the dwarf lad on Little people big world’ .. well shame on you !!

Izzy Posted 28 June 2019 Author Posted 28 June 2019 The more I hear Phil Neville speak and read his interviews, the more impressed I am with him. He’s really turned round my opinion of him and I’m happy to be proved wrong. I think I might even be starting to quite like him
purpleronnie Posted 28 June 2019 Posted 28 June 2019 Our defence looked awful and not sure how Norway didn't get at least a couple. That said we looked really dangerous going forward and could have score 5+ Much like the mens side we've had a great draw through to the semi's, the next game will be our first real test, I still think to get through we have to play considerably better to progress. Tough tough game coming up...fingers crossed.

I'm not sure when you're taking the piss or not Son of Buce Assuming you're being serious, I reckon if he wins the WWC with this team he'll be hot property and it wouldn't surprise me if he then gets a decent job in the mens game. It would be the perfect transition if he takes this team as far as he can and achieves the ultimate goal. I'm not really looking for tips but there's a few things he's said in this piece especially that I really like. https://www.skysports.com/football/news/11095/11750049/phil-neville-says-england-women-quarter-final-win-one-of-his-proudest-moments-in-football I like his language and his honesty and the fact it's all about the players and not him. You can tell by the way the players react to him that they'd walk over hot coals for him so he's got the natural man (women) management skills I reckon. And to think he worked under Fergie for all those years, he must have picked up some great tips. Would be ironic if he became a successful manager where his brother failed after living in Gary's shadow as a player for so many years.. I think he's got potential and it will be interesting watching his journey. Good luck to him.

He's not yet even improved on the performance of Mark Sampson's team from the WC 4 years ago.

Maybe I’m getting carried away on the euphoria that it might actually be coming home this time
davieG Posted 28 June 2019 Posted 28 June 2019 Probably one way to judge is it’ll cost you as an England Lioness Supporter Member only £10 to watch them play Germany at Wembley in November. I’ve enjoyed watching them for a long time so have no problem with them but it does grate when the media talks about them as if they’re an integral part of the men’s team and their history.

Of course I wasn't taking the piss gaffer It's interesting that he's been talked up by a few despite doing no better than Mark Sampson so far. I know Sampson left under a cloud, but even prior to that he wasn't getting talked up as potentially moving to bigger things after England. I'm not sure if it the way Neville is carrying himself or because he's a household name who played for Man Utd. Or maybe is because the womens game is getting more respect so we're more open to its coaches moving into the mens game. He'd probably be a better bet for Man Utd than Ole though if we're honest.

KingsX Posted 28 June 2019 Posted 28 June 2019 Just turned on the Fox USA-France pregame = 1/3 analysis, 2/3 nauseating hype. It's good for neutrals to have a matchup of equals, but the more front-running American fans may be in for a surprise. This year’s US team still has an overhyped look and feel for me. Four years ago, ours looked meh through the groups -- but then they found the next gear. I hope this group can do the same!
irishfoxkev Posted 28 June 2019 Posted 28 June 2019 Been enjoying watching BBC’s prematch with Gabby Logan looking particularly well .....but gonna switch to RTÉ rather than listen to Jonathan Pearce ....cracking atmosphere so hope game lives up to the hype
irishfoxkev Posted 28 June 2019 Posted 28 June 2019 Early goal should make for good game as France now have to go for it
spacemunky Posted 28 June 2019 Posted 28 June 2019 Don't think the keeper had much of a chance there.
SouthStandUpperTier Posted 28 June 2019 Posted 28 June 2019 Pearce's insistence that the women don't cheat looks more ridiculous by the minute. 2 blatant dives so far.
