    England’s victory over Scotland in their opening game of the World Cup yesterday attracted a peak of 6.1m watching on TV and 37.8% share of available audience making it the UK’s most watched women’s football game of all time.

    TV ratings and viewing figures are compiled daily by the Broadcasters' Audience Research Board, not the BBC.

    I'm not surprised at some of the responses on here. I should be, but i'm not. Unbelievable.

    *sigh*

    bunch of old dinosaurs in this thread. It's not got the speed or physicality of the men's elite game, but this tournament is interesting enough to hold attention between seasons. In tennis, the men game often ends up being two giants hurling serves at each other whereas more often the women actually have rallies which make it more interesting to watch. Similarly, based on the Eng-Sco match, women don't appear to head the ball as much as men, and the keepers can't cover the goal in the same way. So this changes tactics.

    Plus it's popular amongst kids/families, which can only be a good thing - getting and keeping interest in the sport from a young age.

    Sexist.....not even 1 token male presenter....during the mens World cup last year both Bbc and Itv constantly had women pundits on....also last season Football Focus regularly had more women then men in various presenting roles....double standards.

    Goby Logan I think it was said we had Dion Dublin on last Friday and he will be on again on Tuesday. So that makes it alright then?

    Canadian vs Cameroonian ladies on now.
    Canuck Sinclair probably in the top 4 women players ever.
    I'd take an England-Canada final ( if it's possible - haven't checked).

    Shame the ground was so empty really.

    Perhaps everyone thought it was bound to sell out and didn't even attempt to apply for tickets?

    Dan 'Virtue signaller' Roan is the archetypal modern BBC sports reporter, and you know you're going to get a po faced lecture rather than an account of the excitement.

    The BBC clearly feels it 'owns' women's football and has a vested interest in promoting it when the public demand is not there.

    Perhaps the tv rights are dirt cheap, it fills up hours of broadcast time with sport and it ticks a box or two?

    What we need though is a blubbing Gazza Turin 90 moment: the lasses so far seem a dull lot personality -wise, and we demand a big character to give us some interest.

    Do you actually enjoy being alive ? Not got a positive thing to say about anything as far as I can see.
    Puzzling.
