Are some of these England players wearing make up? I swear I just saw one with massive false eyelashes. Fuck sake.

If its OK for Grealish it's OK for the ladies. Mind you he has prettier hair than most of them.

[AngryOfTuebrook]

Caicedo causing problems.

Again.

Turned on for extra time. 

Really pleased England won, but that was possibly the worst 10 minutes live football on TV I have ever seen.

[Mudface]

Greenwood's got me fully invested in this now.

Watched thd first half, noteworthy only for horrendous goalkeeping on both goals. Currently watching our u18s, it’s on a completely different level. (We have some exciting kids in this team and that’s without Doak)

[No2]

Pickford would have saved that.

Good luck to the girls today (refuse to call them lionesses) the standard may be pants but they do seem to care about the game and in that regard put a lot of the men to shame. I'll watch through gritted teeth but if they win this the next few weeks are going to be a painful wankathon of woman's footy.

BBC. 'The Matilldas vs The Lionesses, it doesn't get any bigger'

Erm yes it does. Every weekend.

Not down here. The quarter final against France had the highest tv audience for anything since Cathy Freeman’s 400m race at the 2000 Sydney Olympics.
Including all men’s sporting events since then.

Ok I was exaggerating and in terms of the woman's game this is no doubt a huge match. However if we had a power cut and the telly went off I would be less arsed than I would be if it happened against Bournemouth on Saturday.

[Gnasher]

Anyone else sparing a thought for the previous manager Phil Neville watching this? No? Thought not.

Agreed all over the telly today. One of the things that first shocked me down here was seeing all the pics of women footy players all over the wall of the footy boots section in the sports shop.

Still beats me why the aussie women are called The Matildas and not The Sheilas. 

[Elite]

I wonder what the best standard of a man's team that the best woman's team could beat.

They would just not live with the physicality of the contest. I would bet on the non league side or the under 17's men's team.

Just shoot from anywhere. 1 in 2 would go in if on target.

Maybe level 11. The women's side would probably have better general fitness and do the technical basics (short passing, first touch etc) better, simply by virtue of practising far more often. If the level 11 side had a half decent striker they'd probably still win though.

Physically they'd struggle I agree but they do have great coaches and tactically set up well. Unlike a lot of men's teams especially the lower you go.

You would not need to be tactically astute to beat them. Big groc No9 and loads of long balls and crosses.

[Poor Scouser T]

Be funny if they got knocked out and a load of birds in Sydney city center get pissed and start lobbing chairs at the coppers singing no surrender to the IRA.

[Elite]

Boring the fuck out of me this.

[Jairzinho]

I had assumed, naively, it would be slightly less shit than this.
