I see this thread isn't safe from the ocean of sad, sexist losers that resurface whenever this is on

Hoping the standard of keeping has improved.

I'd often wondered why goalkeeping was poor (comparatively) until I read an article recently (if I remember where, I'll post the link)

 

Basically, there have not been specific/specialist goalkeeping coaches in the women's game until very recently - like, the last couple of years! I was stunned. Women 'keepers had not been taught in positioning etc. I suspect that is still true outside the top tier of the game.

I can say with fact there’s teams in the third tier without dedicated GK coaches at least

Any Leicester players involved in the tournament?

Saw a lot of Northern Ireland shirts in Southampton today. 

 

Also this "matchday experience" ripped straight out of the LCFC playbook, clappers and Kungs for goal music. Shows the comparable events our games have sunk to.

Not a great standard of oppisition but a big win from Norway today, that game won't be easy on monday.

Just had a quick scan through the squad lists and no, there's no Leicester players involved as far as I could see. 3 OH Leuven players though so still some King Power representation 😁

Thanks Tiff, The OHL players all playing for Belgium?

Denmark have definitely had their goal blessed by monks. German women making Jeff Schlupp look like a cold blooded finisher

 

As I type that, they finally take their 5th clear cut chance

Entertaining game, some decent stuff on show by both teams. It's refreshing to watch a tournament where everyone isn't obsessed with keeping it tight. Long may it continue

Was able to get to the Spain-Finland game at Stadium: MK earlier, really good crowd around 16,000 and a good game as well. Even with their injuries Spain will be a tough pass, England will have their work cut out getting by them or Germany in the quarters

The Beeb really need to pension off Jonathan Pearce. He just talks non-stop twaddle.

What is the going rate for ticket prices? Are many travelling from native countries to support their teams?

£10-£20 for the group games depending on category, bit more for later in the competition.

 

Travelling support has been very good from what I’ve seen/heard, Finland brought a big contingent over. Looking at social media and watching the game on tv tonight Sweden & Netherlands have travelled as well as they do for every sporting event.

Swedish support has been great!

[LCFCJoe96]

Link for tickets is in the tweet too, if you’re thinking about it I’d really advise giving it a shot

Brilliant scenes, i wish had this rather than sunburnt bald men singing rule Britannia.

[SouthStandUpperTier]

France looking very good. Completely outclassing Italy at the moment.

[Sol thewall Bamba]

 

Great hit.

[SouthStandUpperTier]

Think we're watching the tournament winners here unless they've peaked too early.

[RowlattsFox]

I don't know if Italy are rubbish but France look good.

[taupe]

France are about as good as it gets... IF they don't fall out with each other that is. There are team rivalries within the squad that bubble up, plus the manager doesn't have the respect of all them all. 

[ian__marshall]

How was that red card for Gama overturned?!? Absolutely awful challenge. Looked a no brainer on the VAR replay. 

[taupe]

Wendie Renard is, imo, perhaps the most talented player in the women's game. She oozes class. May not have the eye catching skills of attacking players but she is cool and controlled personified.

[Leicesterpool]

England certainly got their work cut out, out of favourites mentioned France, Spain, Norway, Germany have all started the tournament with a bang. England yep got a win but it was very squeaky performance. Hopefully I eat my words but there's no way I can us any better than these teams.
