Lucy Bronze plays the whole tournament with a fractured tibia. What a player. What a woman.
Well done girls.
Well done England!

She is the female Stuart Pearce imo!
Brilliant, battling performance against a Spanish side technically much better than us. Just ground them down. We were dead on our feet in extra time.
But, ( and here I’m thinking of what Elanga did for us) the introduction of Chloe Kelly’s pace made them go back 20 or 30 yards rather than being camped around our penalty area as in the entire first half. It changed the game and put us in with a chance. Interestingly, it was an injury to the much hyped Lauren James that got her on rather than tactical.
Leah Williams didn’t put a foot wrong ( apart from the penalty miss) and the much maligned ( and racially abused) Jess Carter had her best game in an England shirt.
Well done the Lionesses. Their pride in England ( rather than the men’s teams concern for their fat wallets) shone through in post match interviews.
They worked hard and dug deep for that one and deserve their open top bus ride on Tuesday!

Couldn't agree more mate.
Absolutely brilliant achievement. THAT'S how it's done Tuchel!

the praise Sarina is getting is richly deserved. The most successful international manager in football. No English football team has ever done this. Let’s hope the people that chose a lady from Holland, in choosing Tutchel from Germany, will emulate the success.

Well done, England. Credit where it's due. But I'd be a lot happier (and more pi$$ed) if it was the men's team that won something.

“Farewell and adieu to you, Spanish ladies
Farewell and adieu to you, ladies of Spain ;
For we’ve received orders to sail for old England
But we hope in a short time to see you again
Now let every man drink off his full bumper
And let every man drink off his full glass;
Well drink and be jolly and drown melancholy
And here’s to the health of each true hearted lass” ?
Excerpt from old traditional Royal Navy folk song Silkman dedicated to you mate and our glorious England women ????????????????????????????????????.

Vaguely remember it from my grandad. Or something similar. He was in the Navy. (no village people references please)

Incidentally. Why would you dedicate part of an old folk song to me, Stokey?
28 Jul 2025 18:02:39
Well, mate, to try and make you feel happier and encourage you to be more pi””ed as per your post. Even if it was just the women winning the trophy. You’ d be a miserable teetotaller by now if you waited for the men to win owt!

Fair enough. I'll drink to that. ?.
