Normally I'd take exception to womens' sport being compared to mens' sport, were it not for THIS, where they make a ner-ner-ner comparison.
Don't you dare compare men goalies to women goalies!
The wokies can't have it both ways :-)

I've enjoyed the tournament, one of the reasons is it has been low-key. I notice they are moaning about no one going to the final, it is true if this was the men's game the entire government would be over there.

It doesn't hugely bother me either way. I'll go with whichever side Jim White doesn't want to win.

The real tragedy of womens football is that whenever there's a game on then somewhere there's 22 men going without sandwiches.

Think on that you heartless bitches.

We'll never hear ths last of it if they win this...and its seemed inevitable ever since the USA were knocked out

They'll be demanding all sorts , and extra coverage completey disproportionate to its popularity.

Sky gave already lost so much other football, whilst televising WSL which nobody watches.

Fuck knows, but we all know if the men's team were in the world cup finals Prince Bill and Rishi would be there, probably even dull Keir. Seems a bit weird they hadn't planned it.

Oh, my bad thought you meant fans not government. Yes you're probably right plus current government according to their research doesn't want to be seen as too woke atm.

Not sure what is woke about attending a women's team attending a final, it just seems they didn't think it through. Guess they'll whizz Lucy Frazer over there.

Aren't the Lionesses synonymous with campaigning against social injustice, equality and LGBQT+ rights and so on? Clearly FIFA stamped on the wearing of the One Love arm band fairly strongly.

I wouldn't bet the lesbians support the whole QT+ bit.
