Well done to the ladies, mainly because you managed to prove GOT's resident Paul the Octopus aka davek wrong and show you are far from the worst team left in the tournament (we knew this anyway)

Just started following our female team at the start of last season as a friend of a friend is involved.

Bit behind the times but it's got me more involved. How our keeper has got black eyes I've no idea as she's not a small lass in that area.

Who is it, as i know a lot of the Girls and the team, and who we sign, let go etc way before its said in the open
 

They need to save their emotional energy for the final.

Understandable they celebrate, but Sunday is the only time you celebrate to this extent.
 
I have to say there was an unforgivable column in the Guardian last weekend that was very divisive in its view of this English team.

It doesn't surprise me that horrible Guardian published it either - calling the English team unrepresentative.

I hope the author and paper are examing their consciences.
 

Genuine question: what level of football in the men's game could these elite women's player play at? Divison 2 or 3? Not higher I dont think.

They are very white. Off the top of my head I think Nikita Parris is the only black player in the squad.

I think that's purely just how it is though. England have had plenty of black players in the past, even had a black manager. No idea why so few black (or other background) players are coming through in the current crop but these are pretty much the 23 best English players currently regardless.
 
I just don't get the fuss. I just watched a 4-0 game that was... dull. Fair play, there is a welcome and noticeable absence of the type of cheating we see in the men's game, but the skill levels and athleticism are largely mediocre.

Other women's sports, like tennis, hockey, rugby and lacrosse, are far more entertaining IMHO, because the skill levels are higher.
