Women's euros 2017 - What a revelation

[Markbarry1977]

Just turned on the women euros 2017, England vs Scotland game.

What a revelation. The quality of play and skill levels are exceptional. There's no complaining to the ref, no falling on the ground screaming like they have been punched by iron mike every time a blade of grass happens to trip them up. No trying to get each other sent of despite a couple of crunching tackles. Maybe the men's game could take a long hard look because I no longer follow the premier league any more due to the blatant cheating and falling over at the slightest hint of contact.

That and I know this is a bit sexist but there are some ladies on there I bet scrub up very well. Take Miss Greenwood for example.

Oh and to top it off England are winning.

I was quite surprised by it as well. Some quality finishing going on from England players!

There was one Scottish player who threw herself to the ground when she was fouled though, she ended up injuring herself more as a result.

I don't know, I watched a couple of replays and there was definite boot to shin contact but your right she hurt herself more from the tumble she took. In fairness though it did look painful and it was the only instance I could think of in the entire match which could be seen as a questionable attempt at a dive and that is being exceptionally critical of her.

Taylor does it again. Come on lionesses!!!!

I'm starting to think this ref is on the French payroll. :-)

[Markbarry1977]

Well done England.

And her we go again.

Dutch keeper throwing herself on the floor for a cheap yellow card.

Good start by the lionesses so far.

Please can we avoid daft jingoistic labelling? The ladies don't look anything like lions and anyway a lioness would more likely attack a spectator than dribble a ball past another player.

sigh!!!! There is always one oh well have it your way.
