Agree.Good luck with that, some men feel that womens football threatens mens football in some way, so have to denegrate it at every opportunity.
I watch both, I prefer the mens game, but also appreciate the skills the women have, but more importantly appreciate how far it's come in a very short time, they are 2 very different games though.
Bloody hell.
England’s U21 Euro victory is also moot. They’d get smashed by the senior teams.Good job they don’t play against u17s and they stick to playing their own gender, in their own sport then isn’t it
GB’s women’s hockey team weren’t derided for winning Gold at the Olympics because the men would smash them.Agree.
Other sports where you do not compare the 2, such as tennis and athletics, are not team sports.
Football, the biggest and most powerful sport in the world, is big enough to have a popular men and women's game.
Enjoy both and applaud and enjoy the differences.
The sportsmanship of the coaching staff and the players, is light years ahead in the women's game though...
They made reference to it in the commentary, didn't they? It actually is her middle name (one of them, anyway).....Lucy Bronze's middle name should be tough (if it wasn't already).

Agreed. Absolutely superb from her. Handed Earps her arse.Hannah Hampton Player of the Tournament for me. She kept England in that Sweden game when they were on the ropes and has come up with massive saves in big moments.
One of the most ridiculous posts ever on here.I don't see the need to compare but i think Southgate was a fraud and very very lucky with draws, tonight Spain were much the better side. The penalty shoot out was just pure luck, both sides were crap at penalties. Just a fact. I believe England got through earlier on penalties when both teams missed more than they scored.?
You may as well pat someone on the head for calling heads. I'm glad England won but they weren't much good at anything apart.from effort.
So well.done for trying in a final.and getting lucky I guess.

Stuck the boot in on Taylor in her post match interview on Sky.This exactly the people responsible for forcing her out should hold their heads in shame!
Bigger bollocks than any of the men. That’s a proper English lion.Lucy Bronze has played through the tournament with a fractured Tibia, WOW.
If we went back and looked at men's football from the 1920s, it would look awful. Sport develops, and for most of my life women have been forbidden from playing football - culturally, if not legally. Anyone trying to compare the men's and women's games looks like a bigot, IMO.

True that, I watched many of the recent U/21 tournament. Not that many of the players really were U/21 that were playing by the way. There is a big difference between the senior players and the players at that level. Players like Yamal are a one off.England’s U21 Euro victory is also moot. They’d get smashed by the senior teams.
Did she?Stuck the boot in on Taylor in her post match interview on Sky.
In the World Cup 2022, I seem to recall Argentina rode their luck through the tournament and ended up winners. If I also remember correctly, Spain, when playing Morocco, missed all their penalties in the shootout. Perhaps the Spanish men’s team are crap at penalties too?I don't see the need to compare but i think Southgate was a fraud and very very lucky with draws, tonight Spain were much the better side. The penalty shoot out was just pure luck, both sides were crap at penalties. Just a fact. I believe England got through earlier on penalties when both teams missed more than they scored.?
