I think it's ok if you get a couple of good nations, but that's about the limit of what you will find, well maybe 3 or 4.

I've watched 2 games so far, both the 8pm, I'm refusing point blank like a stubborn mule to watch at teatime. <laugh>

The first game I watched was the host nation, albeit that was the second game of the competition and breaking with tradition for some reason, they did say why but I've forgotten already. It ended Switzerland 1-2 Norway.

I think the Scandinavian's were favourites going into the game, but they didn't deserve to win, I'd say it would have been fairer if the Swiss had got a draw. Don't have the power of the men, but it was as physical as women could give, so it made it a tad interesting.

The second game was more the example that you have given, and although Spain thrashed Portugal 5-0, I had it on but wasn't really watching. It was about as interesting as watching England men play Gibraltar.

I know **** all about women's football, so I'm really dipping into a few games to get a feel of those that might be worth watching in the later stages.

England Saturday 8pm, so will defo watch that, but we've got France, and I get a sense of feeling they are as good as us, so should make it interesting.

It's just not the same product, despite the BBC etc. ramming down our protesting mouths that it actually is.

If it were viewed as women's football, instead of being needlessly lumped in with the men's game by media outlets, it would ultimately find its level, and supporters that go with it.

You don't find women's golf, tennis, cricket, pretty much everything else, shouting that they are just the same as the men, they seem happy in the their own skin playing women's sports, which isn't as quick, skilled, strong, athletic, but can have more grace and finesse.

I hope women's football can ultimately find it's feet and demographic, as there are probably some folk out there will find it interesting. And then they can have their own platform.

When the 'Lionesses' bomb out of this soon, a few more will drop off though.

Grassroots wise, there is girls football everywhere now and it's great to see. It will never, ever, reach the same level and spectacle of men's football though, it's just different ffs.
