Rather than bringing up Gareth Southgate or Phil Neville Could we just praise our WEURO history making manager who’s just won back to back Euros with two different countries who’d never won a trophy and reached a World Cup Final in the middle of that

I see in the BBC poll Walsh is rated the eleventh best English player in the final…. Toon topped the rankings….WTF.

@Jamshopbridge i know exactly what you mean. I was always told it wasn’t ladylike and stopped from playing lots of times with my brothers back in the 40s and early 50s. At school we had a boys playground and a girls playground and the girls games lessons were netball and rounders!
If I answered back and said but I’m not a lady I’d either get a clip round my ear or sent to bed!
Things have taken time but it’s happening.

Good on you Ecclesblue. It must have been a rotten situation to be in back then. My cousin Barbara had to deal with prejudice, bigotry and similar small mindedness. I can only imagine what you had to deal with and wholly empathise with you. The Lionesses did it for you today!

MUEN suggest that 'Manchester' figured in the goals, and The Echo write that former Everton player Chloe . . . . . . . . ! It's the RDAHMeedya in full flow - credit where none is due!
 
Congratulations to Sarina, her assistants and, of course, all the squad. As I previously said, I believed that once these girls had a proper, top-quality coach, rather than a third-rate clown, who was only appointed because of the club he used to play for, they would become a major force in world football. And so it proved.

They were superb throughout the tournament, and fully deserved to win it.

It was brilliant that the winning goal was scored by a City player, though you’d never know it. I don’t remember the commentators nor the pundits mentioning it. Well done Chloë! I counted 11 members of the squad with a City connection, either past or present. That’s practically half the group.

I thought our girls were brilliant throughout the game, especially Keira, whom I made Player of the Match. She was fantastic; her pass to the ragette for the first was sublime. Ellen should perhaps have done better with the two chances she had, but overall, she was a constant thorn in the side of the German defence. And Lauren was her usual brilliant self, scaring their defenders to death. Alex also played her part in keeping Germany at bay.

Great contributions from Lucy, Georgia and Jill, too. And congratulations to her for becoming the first English footballer to play in two major finals.

As was mentioned post-match, this will do wonders for women's football in this country.

Once again, congratulations to all.
 
For me Leah Williamson was probably our player of the tournament - had a great performance at CB - captained superbly and when interviewed comes across very well and very passionate.
 
Little known City/England Women fact - their first home game in the WSL was on 20th April 2014 at the Regional Athletics Arena - I was one of the c.1500 there. Jill Scott was playing for us (as was Steph Houghton) and Mary Earps was playing for Bristol Academy that day.
