How is this showing hubris? He’s coming across incredibly well. |

The funny thing is - the majority of supporters of the women’s game DON’T constantly compare it to the men’s game. The only ones who do that (other than the couple of tongue in cheek Ipswich penalty references here) are the men!
People create their own problems and then get mad at them. It’s so dumb. [Post edited 18 Jul 10:05]

You seen the Luton/Ipswich penalty shootout I take it, and have watched a large selection of women’s football to make a fair, balanced judgement?
Oh and in answer to your question, it’s been done to death. Only a recent injection of finances, training facilities, professional contracts etc. But you’d know this if you read some of good discussions about it rather than coming in with the digs. [Post edited 18 Jul 8:32]

I get that completely. And I think the need of putting a positive spin on everything seems to come from the media, not so much the players.
I guess there’s just excitement that they are getting representation that a lot of the pundits never had in their time.
Healthy debate is fine - it’s the jabs that aren’t needed. I don’t think anyone on here has been saying we played well tonight - people just feel the need to stick the boot in. Again not directed at you. |

Yeah, maybe not the best first impression!
There clearly is a huge disparity between players and clubs, which is to be expected given that even the more successful teams have only recently had injections of cash. It’ll take a while to level out - as we’ve seen in the men’s game too and the smaller countries.
No doubt tonight was poor - and easy ammunition for those wanting to knock women’s football (not directed at you CB), but it’s a journey, and it’s a fun one to be on as an England fan for a change. |

I don’t understand the need for people to put down something that others enjoy.
Genuine question, does this happen in other sports? Are male tennis fans like this, or male hockey fans?
It seems to be deep-rooted (whether intentional or not) in feeling that football is a male sport only, and gatekeeping it. It’s super sad - just let people enjoy what they enjoy. If you don’t - that’s cool. I don’t like rugby or cricket. I don’t jump on those threads. [Post edited 17 Jul 23:27]

A lot of attention will be on the penalties, which were very poor - but this isn’t the standard that usually happens. But we did very well to bring it back. Lucky - but winners need luck. |
