FAI...June 2024 Friendlies v Hungary and Portugal

[clarshack]

The term 'Lionesses' was really starting to do my head in.
At least we won't hear it for a while after the next day or 2.

Did Spain get hammered in the group stage?

[Itchy]

Did yer one in the goals put her tongue back in her gob yet

[Milltown Row2]

Ach lads... the girls seemed like a nice group of footballers.. no airs or graces about them and what the media do is outta their control

[An Watcher]

Nothing against the girls personally but absolutely delighted they're beat

Was watching SKY news press preview last night, one of the red label rags had a lionesses cringe headline however one the journalists was complaining about the lack of diversity in the picture with all girls with blonde hair and blue eyes.  All of the panel moaning that none of the Royal family and Rishi Sunak travelled out and would have done so if the men was in the World cup final.

Hard luck to the Tans. Spain were very impressive. Neither team had won before. A very interesting tournament and inspirational for girls.

Maybe so , but there was  no lacking when it came to  lesbians  , to be fair . So I  suppose it evened itself out

Eh?

Did Spain get hammered in the group stage?

They did when they had already qualified for the last 16.

[An Watcher]

England got a very fortuitous path through to the final.  They can only beat what was put in front of them but to meet teams ranked 40th, 25th and 10th on their way to the final is crazy. 

[Pub Bore]

Spain were by far the better team.  Should have won by a few more.  Eng had a bit of luck in the tournament but never looked like winning this game.  France must be kicking themselves.  On a sad note, goalscorer Olga Carmona was told after the game that her father had died on Friday.

All the talk is that Vera Pauw is going.
Some are going mad over player power but the likes of that piece with The Athletic just before they left wasn't great.
Then you leave players behind in favour of newbies who didn't always perform.

[From the Bunker]

Pauw got us there. You won't make an omelette with out cracking eggs.

She has to go now. It's a uphill media battle no matter what she has achieved.
