The England women's team are putting the mens to shame great football being played.

Yeah I'm enjoying it! Amazing how much it bothers some people.

I really don't see much of a difference it is still players doing it for you're country.

I watched the whole thing and it was decent, but I found it incredibly frustrating sometimes how much more slowly the ball moves. I suppose it’s one of those things that just needs some getting used to.

Putting the men to shame! A bit strong.

I also think the positive social impact it's had has been great, whether you think its any good or not. I remember growing up in the 90s it was very unusual for girls to join in and play football and the ones that did were seen as tom boys. Now I know lots of girls and women who play and the womens teams at my local club are really popular and the environments much more fun because of it! It's great that my daughter can have sportswomen as positive role models on the TV to encourage her to go and play sport. Rather than only showing men's sport, because women can't play and she's left with the only women on TV being famous because of their looks.

Why are they putting the men to shame that’s a bizarre comment - the men have done really well in recent tournaments ( I mean Euros and World Cup ) the womens game is still developing- other countries will develop and competition will get tougher .

The standard is getting better and better all the time no question at all, yes it's definitely slower than the men's game but much more honest where a dive in the women's game being as rare as a player staying on his feet in the men's game.
Both the men's and women's games are at a very good levels and each has slight differences that appeal to some but not all ?.

I just mean with the way they play the passing and attacking play is a lot better didn't mean to upset anyone.
{Ed014's Note - I’m pretty sure you haven’t upset anyone Stephen and I agree with you too mate. It’s been great and the atmosphere at the England games has been amazing.

OK thanks Ed I just think it's been a breath of fresh air how well its going and the kids in the grounds seem to enjoy it and don't seem to be violence like there has a the men's games.
{Ed014's Note - agree mate, it’s all positive stuff for me. ??

Totally agree ed, people actually cheering and getting behind the team rather than the usual abuse and boos. Cheap tickets, the player's aren't paid very much, so they're much more relatable.
{Ed014's Note - definitely eden, it’s just great to see.

Wish the mens would go back to this atmosphere I go the rugby games slot more now and no. boos nothing all hoof fun even when we sit with fans from other teams.
