    What channels is it on anyway?
    Not a clue as I don't generally watch terrestrial TV and Sky is for PL fanboy ****s.

    I've never really understood why the women's and men's teams have different kits, but this situation seems to make it even more of a daft idea. If Nike can't commercially justify selling the women's goalie kit, then surely it shouldn't be separate from the men's one. Make them the same and the problem wouldn't exist. People could just buy an England goalie kit used by either gender and get the name of Earps or Pickford or whoever on it as they please.

    England are 1:80 for the win. I'm no gambler but that sounds like we might win!

    Apparently the men's GK shirt isn't available either. Doesn't really make the same kind of story if they say the men's isn't available either though does it.

    To be fair this is often the same for the men, or it was until they increased the number of teams in the Euros.

    Watched the first half of Spain and Costa Rica whilst waiting for a flight at Heathrow this morning, and even my teenage daughters who are sportswomen and pro women most things etc etc, so I have to watch my words when talking about women’s sport, said it was crap!

    Watched a bit of the USA and Vietnam game, pretty dire as well. Alex Morgan is worth watching though.., albeit a ****ly taken penalty. Rapinoe just winds me up.

    Do you reply to all the posts on the NETFLIX and Box Set series Thread to say that you won't be watching that programme?

    Zam 0 (versus) Jap 4 on the telly box.

    Erm... Bit like watching the Olympics and a sport you'd not normally watch and when it's over probably won't again...

    It's a bit of a mismatch. 85th minute Japan 22 attempts on goal. Zambia 0.

    Trivia fact Zambia are the first landlocked African nation to feature at any world cup.

    Nothing woke at all, that's last season's isn't it? This seasons isn't for sale anywhere apparently

    Just an FYI before your post anymore presumptuous crap about me, my partner is an ex pro women's footballer who's played for England, so I'm 110% behind women's football getting as much growth and exposure etc as possible. But will also call out things that have a certain narrative or when only part the story is told

    Obsessive, but it's a bit like women's football, it's just not as good as when the men do it. ( Joke btw before PLT starts to melt)

    I might (just might mind) watch the final if we are in it.

    I have nothing against women's football.
    What I am against is disproportionate representation of the sport coverage on websites like the BBC in comparison with the actual size of it's fanbase.
