England win Women’s Euro 2022 (beating Germany)

[NotAllThere]

It's an incredible win and we should be overjoyed but I'm already sick of the comparison with the mens game. Why can't we celebrate it for what it is without instantly pulling every aspect of the game to bits and making ridiculous comparisons all over the place. It's been less than a day and I can't open an article without it being overtaken by comparisons.

A lot to talk about, areas to fix and grow but can't we just celebrate it for what it is for one day?

Reading The Times online comments, a few miserable beggars among a sea of positivity.

The only part of the entire game I saw was (by coincidence) the final goal when she whipped her top off. That's one way to get the old guard fans on board

Which was a reference back to Brandi Chastain, when she scored the penalty that won the World Cup for the US in 1999...

So don't open an article then. All I've seen is relentless positivity from the BBC though.

Could've at least taken it to penalties and won, to show the men how it's done.

Men always waste time.

Never send a man to do a woman's job.

I will resist that temptation (for now).

But bloody well done girls, no puffy loser peacocks in that team, just winners!

I feel it is only right to loan this out for the occasion:
