The level of tribalism is far too deep within football for anything to change
The Premier League starts next week and unfortunately I think the win today will fade away
The woman’s game will get a little boost and maybe some increased sponsership for the Premier League but I don’t think it will make too many dramatic changes

Tremendous achievement, especially since the German team have been so dominant.
Great to watch a game too without so much play acting.

The tribalism in men's football is far to deep the change anything; fortunately that particular underclass want nothing to do with the women's game so there shouldn't be a reason why it can't bring a change to the women's game.

I'm currently planning to attend some WSL games if I can. I never have before but am pretty much done with the Men's game - the footie thread on here is something I wish I'd never dabbled in!! It's not only the fans but the behaviour of the players too which has turned me right off.
I mean The Community Shield - a tinpot pre-season nothing match and still the behaviour from some was abhorrent and yet defended/deflected. I really haven't missed it this summer for the first time ever and have no real interest in it starting up again...or at least very little!

When it comes to supporting and the way the fans act then I don’t see there is much that needs to change within the womens game - it’s been shown the last two weeks that it can all be done with respect for each other whilst also supporting their team passionately

Enjoyed that. First half I think the ref bottled it and ruined the game. No yellows for clear fouls against England and then two cheap yellows dished out to England players. From letting stuff go, to blowing up too much. It was like watching a PL game! It totally destroyed the game for 45 minutes.
Germany were the better side and missed some big chances while we just looked to swing in hopeful crosses. Any counters were stopped by White's poor touch or a bad final ball. Amazing finish for the goal and we then reverted to Southgate tactics hoping to hold out and paid the price. To bounce back from that and nick it in ET was amazing! I thought we'd blown it.
Great to see the scenes of genuine joy at the end. Well done girls!

Those slow motion pictures of the unbridalled joy - emotional stuff!

Well done the girls.
The Germans knew how to play the ref, thats for sure with cheap shots. The England girls inability to throw in to their own team was quite worrying though.

You know what I couldn’t of put it better, I went and there’s a lot I didn’t put in when I did a write up yesterday. I just could not be done with the hassle.

Just the atmosphere joy and celebration of this tournament compared to the toxicity of the men's euros is enough to convince me that I should go watch some women's matches

Incredible. Absolutely incredible. Just on the train home from the final.
Walsh is a brilliant midfielder but how Mary Earps didn't get PoTM I'll never know. She was brilliant all game. The germans are no pushover and have won the thing 8 times for a reason.
What a day out. And what a tournament. I believe, football is home.

An amazing achievement from everyone involved in the team and those before them.
I’m extremely proud of the women and I hope this encourages the next generation of young girls and women to take up the game.
I also hope the FA use this win as a springboard to enhance the women’s game.

I expect it will put them off.!
Amazing win as some of them looked dead on their feet after 90mins.
Let’s hope all those young girls watching are inspired.
Made me laugh the spokesman for the FA bigging up their investment in womens football!
It was them who banned women from playing for years.

Be interesting to see which clubs Alex Scott was referring to who refused the use of their stadiums when asked in 2018

That’s one of my pet hates .
A casual accusation then won’t name names.
Just call them out so we all know.

I watched it in a seriously crowded (for it) local - it was beer-o-clock on a pretty warm day after all. One group (half a dozen guys; 1 sister and partner) seemed very much into both codes. Bartender playing - for QPR Ladies - possibly contributed too. I'm v happy to be wrong in my prediction.
Refreshing absence (well, vast reduction) of diving and other simulation was one of the very positive points. Unfortunately, that'll be one of the 'essential' skills that feature as other skills improve.

Well, at least that’s sorted out all the end of year Sports awards for 2022.
To be fair to the FA, probably a different generation of employees. The current era have ploughed money in. I do get your point though.
An interesting time for sport in schools now. There will be other sports groaning at this win. If the clamour in schools is for more girls playing football then which sport, or sports, has to give?
