Well that was thoroughly enjoyable world cup! And well done to England girls. They'll win it next time.

If that was a player on another team swearing like that, there would be "Many apologies if you were offended".

Well yeah i agree to a point

The swearing thing, it's ridiculous. No reason to have a go at her. Watch any game of footy on telly, men or women and you can lip read them swearing non stop. Grealish especially haha. So there's no reason to have a go at any women for it.

But not everything is binary. It's not that everything has no significance at all, or some major significance. There's a spectrum of significance.

However, I think writing an article on her celebration being the howl to signify women being oppressed is reaching a lot, in my opinion. I think it was just a celebration in the moment. If some people take something else from it, that's OK, but i think they're doing a fair bit of mental gymnastics to get from the action to the point they're trying to make on this one.

If St Francis of Assisi had to contend with some of the shit refs expect Jack to soak up then Frankie would be swearing like any self-respecting Royal Marine!

Are people getting upset about Mary Earps swearing? Seriously? Some people love to be offended. Professional offendees.

Apparently it was a howl against the oppressive system ran by men



Just wondering what sort of mental gymnastics led to this article? So basically by saving a penalty kick taken by a female footballer and then screaming out at that female footballer, she defied men?

Give me a minute to properly think about this. The logic is definitely somewhere there, I just need to figure it out.

Give me strength.

Which dickhead at the FA decided it would be a good idea to ruin young girls dreams of seeing their heroes by deciding they'd leave the airport via the private exit?

The FA wouldn't have done that if the crowd would have been larger, cynical I know but there it is.

I think that's a valid point. They weren't exactly squeezing the barriers.

I do wonder if other countries try and sell failure as success as much as we do, genuine question btw. I know the Wales men's team parade and such was laughable but there wasn't much expectation around them.
