Unfortunately, that is just not true is it. The rest of us take far more interest in the mens competition than the females game.To you maybe. To the rest of us, the Lionesses are the best team in Europe. I'll beat my chest to that.

It is comparable. They are the best team in Europe. They have beaten Spain. And Germany. Its exactly the sameIt isn't comparable to the men's tournament so the 56 years of hurt thing is nonsense. It is a different competition. England U20s won the World Cup a few years ago and you wouldn't count that.
It's a fantastic achievement for the Lionesses but I don't know why they are insisting on mixing up the stats and records between two different competitions. If the Men's team was really successful we wouldn't dismiss the women's achievement. The women's game and achievements deserve to stand on their own.
It is as true as you claiming the opposite. There are more people here congratulating the womens team than deciding its not as worthwhile because a man didn't do it.Unfortunately, that is just not true is it. The rest of us take far more interest in the mens competition than the females game.
Well saidIt isn't comparable to the men's tournament so the 56 years of hurt thing is nonsense. It is a different competition. England U20s won the World Cup a few years ago and you wouldn't count that.

No cancel culture here. You, Mfc79 have an absolute entitlement to your views; I’m only sorry that you feel that way.Oh dear someone's testosterone bubble has burst...
I've enjoyed the whole tournament. The football in the main was enjoysble,It isn't comparable to the men's tournament so the 56 years of hurt thing is nonsense. It is a different competition. England U20s won the World Cup a few years ago and you wouldn't count that.

It's wonderful that a bunch of people can't get joy out of a fantastic tournament and superb success for England because it's just women
Racism...bad
Homophobia...bad
Misogyny...all cool there
Look at the capitalized word in the opening post. Misogynistic it most obviously is.Ah right. Your supposed to feel the same emotional connection to a sport that literally came on the tv screen within the last couple of years? OK then!
I don't think anyone isn't happy for them. But to jump to 'Misogynistic' is a bit far............ Wally
The viewing figures for the England mens 2020 semi final were miles ahead of the viewing figures for the England female semi final. I chose the semi finals as the example as the viewing figures for the lionnesses final have not been released yet. The facts that nearly three times more people watched completely dispell your claim 'it is just as impressive to the rest of us'. You're entitled to your opinion but you can't speak for everyone else. Whether you like it or not its not as impressive as the standards are far lower nor is it as popular.It is as true as you claiming the opposite. There are more people here congratulating the womens team than deciding its not as worthwhile because a man didn't do it.
The rest of us 'that watched'. I can't believe I have to make that distinction to you.The viewing figures for the England mens 2020 semi final were miles ahead of the viewing figures for the England female semi final. I chose the semi finals as the example as the viewing figures for the lionnesses final have not been released yet.

You're entitled to your opinion but you can't speak for everyone else. Whether you like it or not its not as impressive as the standards are far lower nor is it as popular.
But the records for Mens and Womens football should be seperate.Look at the capitalized word in the opening post. Misogynistic it most obviously is.
How can it not be as impressive, they won the euros, what more could they do?The viewing figures for the England mens 2020 semi final were miles ahead of the viewing figures for the England female semi final.

I'll refer you to a previous post of mine. Is a male Olympic gold more worthy than a female one?Ah right. Your supposed to feel the same emotional connection to a sport that literally came on the tv screen within the last couple of years? OK then!

If pointing out that there is a difference between mens and womens football is misogynistic then so be it. However, I don't think it is.Look at the capitalized word in the opening post. Misogynistic it most obviously is.
Totally agree because they are separate sports. I think its acceptable to say about the years of hurt in the context of England as a country are now footballing champions, regardless of sexuality. That's how I viewed it.But the records for Mens and Womens football should be seperate.
If it was only the description and not the downplaying of the achievement, then you may have had a point.If pointing out that there is a difference between mens and womens football is misogynistic then so be it. However, I don't think it is.

And, interestingly, I found myself having more of an emotional attachment to this side than say the golden generation of Beckham etc, much as I have with the current England men's team
