Women's Euro 2022

[Mucker1884]

Just settled down to watch my first ever women's footy... and saw a cracking goal within the first 2mins of me tuning in!  ⚽

Is it always this exciting?

1-0 England.  Brilliant goal, control and finish.

Agreed. Would like to see them kick on from here. 

And to be fair, there's no sign of "Gareth-ball" emerging yet.... ?

Very even half. Lucky a little bit, but 1-0 up and now in control. Come on England 

[Van der MoodHoover]

Sweden miles better than I've seen them in earlier games. 

The half time analysis is good and quite critical, as it should be. Basically saying that Lucy bronze is quite an unintelligent player, although a great athlete. 

Enjoying the match. 

[Van der MoodHoover]

2-0 great header by bronze 

[Van der MoodHoover]

Oooh what an impact by Russo with a great run and cross that Lauren hemp contrived somehow to mess up..... ?

Just like watching the men!

But they are paid a fraction of what the men get! In what other work place would this be allowed.

You could argue that pay is directly related to revenue brought in. 

you only get paid as good as your agent can negotiate. In what other business would two people doing exactly the same job get paid wildly different amounts, two players at the same club, both left backs, can get paid completely different amounts. 

[Van der MoodHoover]

What a goal from Russo that is.... Brilliant. 

[sonofmidnight]

You may laugh cstand but as a woman I find this totally wrong and it makes me very angry The highest paid woman footballer gets £400,000 a year.

Fantastic improvisation.  She certainly makes an impact from the bench.

If I had my way agents would be made redundant and men would be paid a lot less!

I think this is a difficult area. 

I've been on the BBC hys taking a swipe at all the dinosaurs by saying that "this is womens football. It's a sport in its own right and should not be compared to men's football". 

However, if you accept that, then the force of argument for equal pay is reduced. 

Just to be clear, I'm totally in favour of equal pay for equal roles.

There's a bit of naughty dwarf action to get stuck into now anorl...... 

Great goal kirby ?

[FlyBritishMidland]

4-0!!  Opportunistic chip with a bit of luck.  Keeper should have done better.

[Comrade 86]

Making the #2 ranked team in the world look bang average here! Amazing performance from the Lionesses.
