Hope Gareth was watching last night

Do you take the same view of the premier league - pretty certain Saints got hammered 9-0 last season

Norway I believe have won the Euro’s twice and are no mugs

I don’t think it is a regular occurrence anywhere, England had a soft penalty to start with and Norway had a player sent off, but the lionesses played at full tilt. Most teams are happy to sit back on a lead

This a competition that teams have to qualify for. I’d say maybe N Ireland fall a bit short but Norway are I believe a respected team in the ladies game (twice winners from what I believe commentary said) Maybe you know more about the ladies game

I also watched the game last night and didn’t see any marked quality difference between them and the England v Norway game. In some ways those ladies team mirrored the stereotypical view of the mens ; Germany well organised, physical and difficult to break down, Spain playing a lot of one or two touch passing on the deck but not getting anywhere fast

I’m all for goals, Liverpool and Mam City regularly get a handful, and the qualifiers of the Euros are always based on grading basis - only in the nations league is their some sort of parity - Rarely do you get more than a couple of equally matched teams in Euro qualifiers in the mens game either so think their is always mismatches

Norway were poor but come on the England women were great. Let's face it the England men's team could not beat Hartlepool reserves 8-0.

I have now sufficient funds to last me the rest of my life. Provided I don't buy anything.

Norway didn't have a player sent off!

I watch a fair bit of ladies footy and I did expect England to win but in a tight game, maybe 1 or 2 nil.
England are a team bang in form but I feel Norway also let themselves down with some of their defending and also their lack of fight and attitude.
