World Cup 20/08/2023: Women’s World Cup 2023 FINAL - Spain v England

[Northstandboy]

A huge game for the country. I feel it will be a tough game, but we will edge it.

COME ON ENGLAND!

 

[Cowley Yellow]

Agreed, will be a tough game and we struggled against them in the Euros last year but I do think we will win!

Come on Lionesses

 

[Eaststanding]

2-1 England. Bring it home.

 

[Sarge]

England expects ... cmon you Lionesses

England expects ... cmon you Lionesses

They won’t let us down

Four responses and not one from someone telling us how women’s football is rubbish and they’re not interested in it?

Good luck, Lionesses. Bring it home and give the nation a bit of a lift. It won’t be easy though. Spain gave them their most difficult match of the Euros last year.

 

[SteMerritt]

Looking forward to it, hopefully a great ending to what has been an excellent weekend of football so far with us winning away, Swindon choking, and Oxford City getting their first National League point yesterday.

Win or lose, their achievements over the last couple of years has been incredible. Its a shame that the FA seem to be arguing about any payments that these girls should get if they do win the World Cup, and that these bonus payments are significantly less than anything offered in the men's game. To put it in to perspective, we had players at Oxford that we're set to get bigger bonuses if we'd beaten Wycombe in the playoff final than these girls got for winning the Euros and have been offered for winning the World Cup.

I hope that they absolutely smash it today and they all get the recognition that they deserve, and it gives a further boost to women's football and girls getting in to any sports. They are an inspiration to so many and they stand on the edge of greatness. Bring it home!!

Looking forward to it.
come on England !!!!!

 

[Stranger]

Sky TV value the women's game so much that they've scheduled a match this morning that clashes with the World Cup final. Shows that all their supposed support for women's football was just lip service. Come on England!!!

Nice of BBC to let us watch the closing ceremony...

You could have. As they said at least three times, the whole thing was shown on the iPlayer.

Good luck to Robyn Cowan. It sounds as though her voice has gone already.

Good luck to Robyn Cowan. It sounds as though her voice has gone already.

We’re also getting an echo of Spanish commentary alongside it too.

 

[unification]

Spain look great attacking wise. Very quick.

There’s a hint of vulnerability about their defence though.

Lucy Bronze cost is that goal

 

[unification]

Oof. It’s been coming. They’ve got behind England a few times.

 

[bazzer9461]

Think the England ladies need a rocket up there a**e from the manager at half time ie pass sooner

 

[Marston Road yellow]

I have been at a scout camp for the last week and all the talk of football was from the girls. I want the lioness to win but either way this team have achieved a lot with young girls.

A real shame that it hasn’t been recognised by the royal family or the prime minister.
Poor poor showing by both.

Drab so far
