UEFA Women's Euros | England win final on penalties!

[Lovebitesandeveryfing]

Amazing achievement but why try and go and try and tie it in with the mens teams.

It should be about the women and them alone as for folk slagging it off rather watch them than boring hyped up mens crap that we have to put up decade after decade.

Forget the level of the football and comparing it to anything for a second.
Thousand of little girls are dreaming all over England tonight. That tells you what counts at this moment in time.

She's has the total respect and trust of the players, and that will always go a long way .... you get players who will run through a brick wall for you, and you're halfway to success.

That's a huge part of it

That's the one thing the really successful managers have in common. If you take Pep at City, Jose at Chelsea, Sir Alex at Man U...all three different managers in terms of tactics but they had a set of players at the core of the team that would do anything for them.

Lucy Bronze has played through the tournament with a fractured Tibia, WOW.

Beast of a player. (Went to sleep on the goal — very uncharacteristic).

I'm the more sensitive to it in that I have a ten-year-old granddaughter. She'd be doing her nut tonight — if she were English… ;-)

Lucy Bronze playing with a fractured tibia is up there with Bert Trautmann

Same thing with Esmé, actually. And a blue through and through, which is not proof of excellence, obviously — but never a bad thing.

I didn't get it Esme Morgan, good young player , can play at right back or centre of defense.
Breaks her leg , then when fully fit never got a chance under Taylor. For me could of been a future great player at City !

Bronze the female Zaba

Nedum is such an eloquent, measured speaker.

It’s a bloody shame that he didn’t want to do more punditry.

Got to say our Steph is extremely easy on the eye...stunning

Phil "gargoyle 2" Neville, eat your heart out!

Does that mean that men don’t stand a chance in the women’s game?. Kind of puts paid to the argument that some of the posters on here who go on with the tiring argument about women v men/ boys.

Yep. Also got just enough of that north-eastern accent. I find it very attractive to listen to.

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.

Bloody hell.

Congrats to England Women

Kudos to Lucy playing with a fractured tibia
Hard as fuck

 

[Macca3]

I wasn't happy at all when City let her go because I'd watched her quite a few times, and i knew exactly how good and influential she was as a player ... and to then allow her to join rivals Arsenal was ridiculous when all she wanted was game time at City. .

Definitely, how we let Taylor freeze Chloe out of the team was a disgrace! We should of got rid of Taylor earlier to stop that situation happening!

 

[normskih]

Sir Alex ??????

He always calls him that. Yet, I don’t think he’s a r*g:)

 

[Macca3]

Needum was an excellent pundit tonight. ( Ian Wright not so much )

Yes Ian Wright is a knob! He never criticises Arsenal players, blaming others for their mistakes, it’s so tedious. Nedum is different class! Great to see him, Steph, Ellen & Jill on tonight’s coverage - Man City taking over!!!!!

Literally bored my wife by pointing out how many players (on both teams) and in the punditry were linked to City

Have no idea how Lucy Bronze has done what she's done. To play every game of the tournament with a fractured tibia including 3 games in which she played almost all of the extra time and smashed in a penalty to boot. Amazing effort.

Huge congratulations to England. Honestly didn't give them any chance today but they rode their luck and hung on in there despite being outplayed for most of the match. Showed real resilience to come from behind again and it was probably their best defensive performance of the whole tournament. Huge shoutouts must go to Jess Carter & Leah Williamson who both played really well and stood up to almoist everything the Spanish could throw at them.

Back-to-back Women's European Champions. How good does that sound?
