Unfortunately, there was also a light smattering of sexism from certain corners of the room (white, male, drunk) but hey, you can take some people out of the terraces, but you can’t take the terrace mentality out of some people, right?
You couldn’t have asked for a better afternoon of emotion and unscripted brilliance. Once again coming from behind, the Lionesses proved to be the ultimate comeback queens, snatching victory from the jaws of defeat and winning in the end by a perfectly executed penalty kick and the pluck of a visually impaired goalkeeper. You can’t write that kind of storyline.
Let’s face it, women’s sport is not just ‘catching up’. In many ways, it’s overtaken the men.

Look at this year’s Guinness Women’s Six Nations final where the Red Roses beat France in a thriller that went to the wire. England won by a point at Twickenham, sealing their fourth consecutive Grand Slam and seventh Six Nations title in a row. It wasn’t just a result, it was sporting theatre. The game had ebbs and flows, where momentum swung wildly. No wonder the 37,573 crowd was a record for a standalone women’s fixture at Twickenham.

It’s relatable. It’s inspiring. And it’s producing better matches, pound for pound.
So next time someone in your life (probably your uncle, probably wearing a Lonsdale vest) grumbles about “not being able to watch women’s football”, ask when he last saw a game. Then turn the volume up.
