Fair play to the ladies, too it a step further than the men did!
Nice to actually see us win something for once |  |

Well done England Lionesses. Tough game and it could have gone either way, but such a nice change to see us come through on top. | | | |

Ian Wright really bigging up the women's game, saying the WSL teams shouldn't be kicking off at different times to the men. How long before the Saints women are kicking off at St Mary's at 3pm on a Saturday, to make it fair? | |

No cheating, no diving, good sportsmanship (sorry sportswomenship), full focus on winning the game. They've shown the men how to do it.
I think we might hear this a lot this week.
Congratulations to them. |
Yeah well you speak to any refs and you’ll find that we all say the womens game might not be as quick tempo’d, level of quality, same levels of atmosphere, but it sure is more sportsmanlyship, and sure is a lot easier to officiate.
As whilst many of the lads will scream at you for not giving some irrelevant free kick even though they went down to a pinkie finger, the ladies won’t ever really complain and will only go down when they actually have to! Hence why it’s just soo much easier to officiate | |

I'm sure. The women certainly were sportsmanlike today and much better role models than some of the men, that's for sure. So, are we happy for people to start going to the womens game instead, and men's Saints games being watched by less than 10 000 people. It could happen. | |

What level/division of mens football would you place this England team ? |
Whilst I thoroughly enjoyed the game and result, the Germans played better football, missing Poppe tremendously. Answer to your question, League 1. Mainly because of the poor ball control and wretched passing by England. |  | | |

Pretty much agree with you Berber. The 2nd half was definitely Germany and yes the quality is along way off top PL level or the best of men's international teams but that for me does not matter. The point is, they represented my country, they gave their all and it was good to watch and good to see us come through for a change without the fiasco of penalties etc. | | | |

When you say they won't go down unless they actually have to, does that include the promise of a new pair of shoes?
Sorry, I'll leave 1974 behind now but I couldn't help myself. Well done Lionessesessess, it was a compelling watch and I really could only see one winner after Germany equalised but thankfully I was wrong. |  | | |

Pointless, hypothetical question.
Why try to compare the men with the women's game?
There's no comparison so why not enjoy it for what it is ?! Highly entertaining football .
Great advert for sports bras. | | | |

Comparing men's and women's games is not comparing eggs with eggs, and is daft to do so. You wouldn't think to compare Nadal with the Williams sisters
If they played Pompey (or any other league 1 standard) you would expect a league 1 to be far to strong for the girls and win easily by 4 or 5-0, tactically and technically the girls could compete but not strength, pace or ability wise.
Saying that, no Pompey player (and I couldn't name any) would have scored that first goal today in a league game, let alone a final, and I'm struggling to think of any of our lot who would either tbh.
The manager Sarina Wiegman deserves much credit, by keeping things simple.
Pick your best 11 every game (same for all 6 games), when it's not working don't be afraid to change it quickly. Easy game really, Ralph take note. |  | | |

Perhaps Gareth Southgate should take note too?
I would add that the players attitude was first class too. Not the most gifted squad but probably the most gutsy. They all gave 100% every game and you can’t ask for more than that. Perhaps Ralph would find his job a little easier if his squad gave as much effort? [Post edited 1 Aug 2022 9:16]

The through ball which led to Englands first goal and the finish itself was fantastic if that happened in the premier league everyone would be going mental about it. |  |

That happened against us several times last season, and the season before. We didn’t rave about the passes, just the sh1t defending by Bednarek and or Stephens. | | | |

Well, I enjoyed watching that game and thrilled for the team.
More importantly it will encourage more women to play and watch football whether that be men or womens game. | | | |

Sometimes you have to applaud a pass , some passes you can’t do anything about no matter how good a defender are. | |
