Im trying to save you !



What misplaced comments? Do you expect the women to go toe to toe with the men? I don't think anyone has ever suggested that. I'll also take all the glory I can get as an England and Palace fan who's had very slim pickings in my lifetime.

Perhaps you can enjoy it for the spectacle that it is. And for most of the tournament I think the quality has been pretty high.

Well thats that nonsense over till the next time , the girls really would be more credible if they stopped comparing themselves to the mens game
Really turns me off even taking a glimps of it when they start talking about first world cup final since 1966 .Its an insult to the great players who have tried and failed over the years to put that right .

You're just jealous.

Harsh!! But did make me smile
can you imagine if it had ‘come home’ ? We never would’ve heard the last of the Mens failures since 66, it’s been bad enough as it is

I’ve actually enjoyed the World Cup and I don’t think the players or refs are useless.

I think Prince a William should have been there as he is President of the FA.

Could Wiegman manage the men’s team? Well I think her tactics and formation came up short in the final so I’m not sure about that one, but in principle there’s no reason why a woman couldn’t manage the men’s team.

All interesting debating points though

She sounds tailor-made for the men's team then!

You are talking nonsense, I'm afraid. A governor general may well represent a king or future king but a governor general can't represent the president of the football association.

Spain had their Queen at the final, obvs Charles as Head of the Nation, or William as head of the FA & next in line for the throne, but if he couldnt make it perhaps it would have been a suitable alternative for Kate to have stood in his place, being as how it was a Womans World Cup after all - I do feel as though someone should have been there.

Mary Berry could've put in an appearance. Or Eddie Izzard.

Well the women have nothing to complain about now they have achieved equality with the mens team. The pair of them could score in a brothel.

Wasn't meant as a put down DE. Mary Berry is the Queen of Something or Other (Hearts, tarts & soggy bottoms) & Eddie Izzard would've given us a Palace presence, albeit not Buckingham.
