I thought this was a good post, I understood it completely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scram Posted July 16, 2022 Share Posted July 16, 2022 It doesn't help to compare the womens game to the mens It really doesn't help when you get commentators saying nonsense like "Ellen White needs one more goal to be Englands highest ever goalscorer beating Wayne Rooney;s record" It is a ridiculous comparison Let the women and their achievements stand on their merits - don't invite ridiculous comparison 7 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd say Margeret Court, seeing as they named the pitch after her, but I'm no tennis expert. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheEnchanter Posted July 18, 2022 Share Posted July 18, 2022 Atmosphere was super all day before, during and after the game. The football was really enjoyable (felt the Swiss played really well and the scoreline was unfair). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bannofan Posted July 18, 2022 Share Posted July 18, 2022 Absolutely brilliant day yesterday for Switzerland V Netherlands at the sty, one of the best football experiences I have ever had. We got into town early to experience the fan zone and soak up some atmosphere, but the Dutch parade down to the ground was just starting. We had nailed our colours to the Netherlands after a recent holiday so joined in ..little one loved it, draped in her Netherlands scarf. At one stage we were near the back , and the Swiss march to the ground had started, they were singing their songs..honestly got goose bumps seeing this wall of red walking towards us with banner and flags. The game itself was quite a good standard, and as @TheEnchantersays, Switzerland were quite unlucky and could have been 2-1 up at one stage. All in all, top day out for the family. It certainly wouldn't be for the ' lads lads lads' that just like having loads of beers and screaming and pointing at opposition fans , but it was a much more positive and fun atmosphere than I've seen at a match for a long time. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kilnhurstowl Posted July 20, 2022 Share Posted July 20, 2022 Really enjoying this game. Some fantastic passages of play. Think anyone watching football being played by women for the first time will be impressed. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
