Apologies if im missing something but why dont england women play at wembley? Tgey are representing the country in a major tornament so surely the home games for england should be at the national stadium |  | | |  |

I think they don't attract sufficient crowd to make it work - better to play in a nearly full stadium than a half empty one. Plus this is a tournament so I think different matches are in different stadia according to the rounds. |  |

There's got to be a pun about things money can't buy there but I can't quite come up with it. |  |

Yep. Look at the crowd as well - lots of kids on free-be offers from local schools, kids teams, etc. Not so much the roar of the crowd, but the pre-pubescent squeal. That’s not a bad thing and great to see a younger crowd getting involved, but they’re not attracting that many fans from mens football. Hopefully that’ll change as I’ve really enjoyed what I’ve seen.
Edit - that's a bit harsh tonight. Their crowd is normally full of kids, but much more of a mixed crowd tonight. [Post edited 20 Jul 2022 22:36]

Good to see equality fully at work too.
The women's team have to suffer the same naff songs as the men's.
"Sweeeet Caaaaarroliiiiiinnne da da da...!"
Sigh. | |

The games have been full of paying spectators. No freebies. | | | |

Every result like tonight is another step closer to that happening. |  |

Been to a couple of Englands earlier games - atmosphere great, family orientated but loud nevertheless, different to mens game, packed out 30,000 stadiums too, great experience | |

That's a bit of a criticism I've head about the organisers.
The first match was a 75,000 sell out at Old Trafford, then they've played at smaller grounds.
I think it's good to play in different area's of the country but I think they underestimated the interest and should have picked bigger stadiums |  |
