    Just starting now, anyone watching?
    I did really get into the Euros when England won it, not with quite the same enthusiasm as if it were.the men’s team but enjoyed watching it still.
    Be great if England could win it, imagine European and world champions at the same time…

    First shock of the tournament in the very first game, as New Zealand beat Norway 1-0.

    I'll be watching a lot of it, but without Mead, Williamson and Kirby I don't think England will win it.

    The BBC presentation and punditry team for this tournament is female, apart from one bloke that nobody has heard of.
    It's women's football and that's how it should be (apart from the bloke), presented by and discussed by it's audience . . . . women.

    It would be nice if they could stay there and keep out of proper (men's) football, but boxes need to be ticked, so they'll continue to ruin football commentary :emoticon-0101-sadsm

    The BBC are getting all excited about a tournament that hardly anyone will watch, while two major sporting events that they used to show, The Open and The Ashes, are on another channel.

    They haven't half cocked things up <doh>

    Haiti not rolling over. (Apart from when they get tackled).
    England could well end up drawing or losing this. :emoticon-0104-surpr

    I've just turned it on and that was a hell of a save by England's 'keeper :emoticon-0148-yes:
    No . . . . I'm not watching it :emoticon-0145-shake

    Now the female commentator has just mentioned 'transition' and 'switches' . . . . I'm out :emoticon-0101-sadsm

    England were lucky to win that...

    Best player on the pitch was from Haiti

    Dipped in and out, very open game which England we’re a tad lucky to get over the line.
    Those making them one of the favourites are a bit deluded for me, lost too many players from the Euro’s not too hurt.

    Through to the knockouts and what a performance!

    Lauren James is an incredible footballer, better technique than many playing in the Prem.
