Well, it's not football

Comparisons with mens records are ridiculous

Oldham's reserves would batter england

Mark beavers is better on the ball than millie bight

 

However, it's generally an honest game, they get on with it, there's some decent birds on show and steph Houghton is a top bloke

That poor girl has had some shit to deal with

Proper felt for her tonight

It's not what we pay our money and watch at the end of the day, and as you say, any comparison with the men's game is indeed ridiculous

I watched it for what it was and enjoyed it "for what it was". No more, no less

Fair play to them though they provided more entertainment than a lot of games that I saw last season

I said as she was preparing to take the pen that she wouldn't score - she just didn't look confident staring at the ball not the target, short run-up,  etc.

Poor Steph i felt for her, but Ellen White should have taken it imo.

Absolutely. Was so desperate for her to score that penalty. But in the scheme of things she’s got far more important things to be worrying about right now. Given what she’s been dealing with, her performances this tournament have been all the more impressive. 

Anyone who’s sceptical about the women’s game should have seen my daughter this evening. Regardless of the quality, she cared about what happened in that match 1000 times more than any men’s match she has seen. And there will be 1000s of girls taking up football thanks to this World Cup which is a brillIant thing.

Just think it’s a shame that some people only ever look for the negative in everything. Lots of people have taken a lot of pleasure from this World Cup. They’re not watching it thinking that these are the best players the world has ever seen. If you follow some people’s logic we should all give up watching Bolton and switch to following City or Liverpool.

Nah, I've enjoyed the games, but somebody was pointing out the difference in quality. There is one. It's a fact.

Doesn't alter the fact it was a decent spectacle,
