Enjoy the moment dude. England as a nation are European champions in football. Its something to celebrate. Just because they are women doesn't make it any less impressive.

You’re probably best not watching then mate, you are well out of kilter with the rest of the country, massively impressive display and tournament and to be the first senior England team to win a major tournament for so many years, superb.

As great as an achievement as it is it is far less impressive than if it was the men who had won the mens competition.

I wonder how people would be saying if they had been beaten by pens by Germany, still the same misogynistic blab. Why, as sports fans, should be happy for the ladies who have done a sterling job. The whole tournament has been fantastic, some people call themselves sports fans, but choose to find a negative if they don't like what they are seeing. And NO BEER being hoyed about.

So you'll all be glued to the women's game now 
Wonder how many can name the England players, and which clubs they play for ?

Fantastic tournament. Fantastic team. Wonderful result
In the athletics at the Olympics, do you celebrate men's gold medals more than women's?

To you maybe. To the rest of us, the Lionesses are the best team in Europe. I'll beat my chest to that.
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 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.

I couldn't name all the Boro players, should I not support them now either?So you'll all be glued to the women's game now

I'm happy for them. Like I said its a great achievement but lets not pretend there is the same hype or interest as there would be if it was the mens tournament. The rest of the country took far more interest in the mens tournament in 2020.
