c4countdown

Never thought I would say it but I think it's more exciting than the men's game at the moment.
Don't get me wrong like tennis the top 1000 men's teams would beat the women's teams but I find they are less cynical, fewer prima Donna's and more heart than the men's game.
Obviously once the Lionesses have been knocked out I will probably never give it another thought

What's it got to do with Countdown?

This is the off-topic section!

Must have been moved here, saw it in the Countdown General section earlier.

I see.

I did put it in the wrong section but I deleted it but maybe the mods did it for me

It's coming home

I like that you refer to the off-topic section as your home

I'm more at home there (here) than most social. Media forums.
Im guessing my posts attest to that

Why are the Australian women's team called the Matilda and not The Sheilas

Got a snigger from me, well done.

Two very closely-matched teams in the final. The togetherness in the England camp certainly won't do them any harm - compared to Spain where a number of players have previously boycotted their current coach.

Sarina Wiegman has a tricky decision to make on whether to bring Lauren James back after her two-game ban.

You shouldn't change a winning team but James will be a great weapon to have on the bench.

I'm glad England are there although tbh they probably didn't deserve to get past Nigeria. Still think they'd be worthier winners than Spain, because winning the whole thing despite losing a game 4-0 with 77% possession feels a bit silly 🪿

It wouldn't quite be West Germany in 1954, but still ...
