I haven’t seen any of it yet, but may watch the semi’s…..is it proper football without all the male theatrical diving stuff?

Blimey, talk about negativity… Why compare it to the Mens game ? Why? Well pretty obvious really. Like some on here and I hazard a guess, played at a high standard, so my thoughts on football are naturally based on the game I know. Not negative whatsoever, it is how I see the ladies game now. Just because I don't see it how you, or others do, doesn't in any way mean I am being negative, it is purely my view and when I see teams being thrashed after listening to the pre-match talking where the pundits are bigging up the English opposition and then it's 6-0 at the break..............Basically most are still amateurs, save a few sides. It is indeed pretty obvious. Ladies footy isn’t comparable to mens footy. It should be considered as a separate entity, a sport on its own which should be taken on its own merits. There were a few unequal games in the early rounds just like in the mens competition but most games have been competitive, especially the quarters. I was a crap footballer though I have watched pro footy in England and France since the mid 60s. Having been a crap player doesn’t stop me appreciating the finer points of the game.

True even as a crap player it doesn't stop you appreciating the finer points of the game but there are so few in the ladies game as it stands right now. They have a very long way to go until I personally would watch it again. Not so sure in the mens European finals there were any weaker sides being taken to the cleaners?

OMG TFI are showing the news and not extra time……. Probably because more French are interested in what's happening in the real world.

My wife and I watched it all and were very pleased with the result. The game was entertaining enough but I was further amused by my wife’s opinion of the Germany team. Well done England!

We never saw the England winning goal. We had turned the game off on our TV. The poorest ref yet again in this tournament. Pundits on TalkSport said that we already had had issues with her. How she and the lineswoman didn't see a blatant hand ball in Germany's penalty box I'll never know. On a par with Maradona's in 1986. As for diving! The German lassies were better than WWII unterseeboots. Glad that we won naturally but the game needs relegating to history.

Not the best of starts with Spain scoring first goal!
I never have tv on on a morning, but it’s on today; tried to cross my fingers earlier - difficult when cooking!
