Sorry for starting another thread about the lionesses but….
I’ve never watched a WSL game in my life. I watch Boro, my second (local) team are The Posh. Then there’s England. I don’t really want yet another team to spend my money on and make my life miserable at weekends thanks.
I didn’t really watch much of the Euros. I joined the game they won 8-0 about half way through and watched that. I did watch the semi final and final.
I was most pleased to learn Beth Mead was a Teesside University alumni (like me).
But today I finally got it. It’s about the equality. The girls who weren’t allowed to play at school, the women decades ago who were banned from playing, and for me the LGBT representation in the team. Ok, there may be proportionally more gay women than men that play at elite level but so what.
I thought it was a largely awful game to watch. But, who cares. Bigger picture and all that. And we won and it came home. And the celebrations were just joyful. I loved watching the post match interviews.
Peace and love guys. It transcends football.
