Official Women's Euro 2022
- Thread starter ssblue
- Start date
First match kicks off at 7pm.
England v Austria. BBC1.
Do we have enough interest to justify a tournament thread?
It will all be “ooft that number 6 for France is hot”. But yes, enough interest.
Yes, because like the weather, this close season has been brutal. Bring on football, any football, on the telly.First match kicks off at 8pm.

And it’s 8pm not 7pm btw
I've put £20 on there being over 100 goals in total in the opening game. Shit odds I only get £29 back
Couple of mates down at Old Trafford.

You'll comment on it though.
That's just being sexist.

Rangers own Demi Vance in the Northern Ireland squad. Hope she does brilliantly.
Will give it a go

Paddy doing a free fiver bet builder for tonight - be fucked if I knew what I should've been backing
If you accept women's football for what it is i.e. far slower - far lower skill level - much less aggression then it's watchable but trying to compare it to the men's game is pointless.

That's literally what you've just done.
I see the oxymoron of my post good sir!
It has to be competitive to be watchable though.
I have no idea if Austria are any good but one would expect many of the group stage matches to be lopsided affairs. It won’t be good if we have 8 and 9 nil games
Something was seriously amiss with GSTQ
I had to check I didn’t have a telly on in another room

i think people need to realise the womens game is about 100 years of money and coaching behind the mens game so it might take a while despite what sponsors and broadcasters want to throw at the game.

Backed France to win it for an interest. Know a few names in the England squad but couldn't tell you much about it. Will watch as much of the tournament as I can.
Are all the games in England ?

Anytime I’ve seen Hemp play for City or England she has been superb. Like a female Ryan Kent

Listening to Price of Football podcast and they were saying that womens football is a money pit at the moment, but I think it's excluded from FFP regulations so losing the money isn't a major for the big clubs. They see it as something with so much potential they are willing to contend with losses for the next few years. Personally I don't think it will become profitable and clubs will quietly lower their budget for it, but they know better than me.

Oh good, a thread where the interested people’s comments will be drowned out by morons.
Anyway, England are favourites but Spain should win the tournament, though they did lose their best, and the worlds best, player to injury earlier this week.

Some dodgy defending there.
Haven’t seen anything in the way of advertisements for tickets or anything. I guess Leeds isn’t hosting any games

I think most female players will agree it’s a different game.
The anger about it getting exposure seems very exhausting. No one forces you to watch it. Also, these players are football fans too.
If any Austrians fancy shooting, they will probably score.
In woman’s football the hosts host the matches

Let's get this one out of the way - The goalie's are rubbish.
We can move on to the games.

Spain are favs really. Not much in it all in all mind.
picture hosting sitesGot on Spain at 9/2 and England 5/1 for interest. Like you say mind Spain lost a key player yesterday.
I’m not going to knock the product, but I don’t really agree with the exposure point.
Particularly when it comes to outlets like, say, BBC sport. It is a bit contrived how there’s a transfer in womens football or something and they give it such prominence on their home page. That simply doesn’t reflect the interests of the readership

Find it hard to see past Spain, you should have a winner there.

Hard to see if it was in

Been a bit funny really, think Spain just edged ahead this last week to be favs to be honest. Personally I was quite impressed by Holland against England in the first 30 mins, then it ended up 5-1!
