I’m not watching mate. Like you say, it’s substandard quality football, that we’re supposed to pretend is good because it  it has the word ‘England’ in the team.

Why is it some fans suddenly become all glory hunter about women’s football and suddenly they have to watch the best?

 

Of course it’s not going to be the standard of the men when, even when you take out the physical characteristics, the game couldn’t develop because it was banned for decades by weird men who have a strange complex about these things.

Another one cleared off the line. Foxestalk:

I don't understand why people are desperate to say they are not watching it because of the quality. 

Probably the same people who will say we should watch non league football.

 

Quality is less, but doesn't bother me. I'll watch any sort of football.

And how do they know the quality of it if they never watch it?

[spacemunky]

Good try Chloe!

[Tommy G]

Why doesn’t Chloe Kelly start

Reminds me of 90s football and that to me is a very good thing.

Always in this thread when there's a game on though.

And funnily enough the same arguments aren't used for men's non league football either. Echo the point made by @RowlattsFox above. 

 

The reasons for the double standard are reasonably obvious. Best not to get into it on this thread, though.

It's not even that, these are at the top of THEIR game. They are the best at their sport. 

 

You would never hear someone say I'm not watching the women's 100m as the standard isn't as good as the mens! 

 

It's obviously people's choice of they watch it or not but to comment saying it's sub standard is just ignorant and just shows a lack of respect to athletes at the top of their game.

Do you post in all other sport threads that you don't like or consider substandard or just this one?

 

With all due respect you're adding nothing to the thread, let people enjoy it if they're choosing to watch. 

 

If you don't want to watch it then don't.

Well yeah, it's really important that if you don't watch it you've got you let everyone know just how much you're not watching it. That's why I'm always in the Oasis thread saying I don't really like Oasis and the Nintendo Switch thread reminding people I don't have a Nintendo Switch

[Tielemans63]

Mead just not been the same since that ACL injury. Shame 

[RowlattsFox]

Don't get me wrong, I find the comparisons to the mens game annoying. Especially when they do well, because you hear all the 'showing the men how's it done comments'. 

But still enjoy their success. 

[Leeds Fox]

Enjoyed this but the deep crosses were frustrating when England were chasing a goal when they’d consistently lead to nothing. 

[Spudulike]

Always so sweet to score a stoppage time goal against an Italian team. Feels so much better.

[Nalis]

Italian keepers first mistake of the night was for the goal, was very solid before that.

 

Italy number 20 probably player of the match so far

[Super_horns]

Commit more into the area and we win this .

Just as you say that, we flood the box! 😂

Keeper does well there to be fair 

[Sol thewall Bamba]

Italy are finished here (even though they are deserving to win apparently), got to get a winner before the end.

Going 1-0 up so early has done them no favours at all.

 

Transcended into a 1 sided game which they were ultimately unlucky not to win.

 

That makes no sense reading it back, but it does make sense

I know what you mean yeah

I’m in the air.

 

I’m relying on DeltaAirways free WIFI and BBc news and Foxestalk.

 

Its like being on dialup in the early 90s

[Md9]

Oh my days so unlucky
