[Football] Women’s WC Final - who is watching?

[Icy Gull]

Confess to being drawn into this having watched the last two England games. Haven’t watched any other games.

The shouty women commentators and pundits annoy me though

Not sure I’m ready to go to Albion women’s games but never say never!

Will you be watching?

 

[Uh_huh_him]

Probably, what time is kick off?

No idea, I am not THAT into it. I’ll check it out when I get up, I do know it’s tomorrow though as it seemed to be all that was on Football Focus that I had on in the background as I did other things, with the volume very low.

Only if my local is allowed to serve lager from 8am. I need to get properly tanked up to appreciate the occasion.

The shouty women commentators and pundits annoy me too by constantly stating the bleeding obvious.

It's a WC final involving England. I'm in.

Simple suggestion, mute the sound. You don't need commentary to enjoy watching football.

@Icy Gull kick off is 11.00 BST.

I will be watching. The semi final was very entertaining so I have no reason to believe that this won't be. I do not require the pubs to be open in order to enjoy it and am finding that whole discussion somewhat bizarre.

I do like crowd noise though, so I’ll just keep the volume on low

 

[Joey Jo Jo Jr. Shabadoo]

Yep, I’ll be watching. Going to the Amex for the two England Euro games last summer was great and I’ve watched most England women’s games since then.

Hoping that the cricket club put the second half on and any extra time and penalties as it’s my oldest boys prize giving on Sunday as well.

I removed my “like” when I saw the silly final sentence. Is saying shouty women annoy me misogynistic? I don’t much like most of the male other team biased commentators on Albion games either

Then say, shouty commentators. Then women bit was superfluous.
You're not the only one. JR wants to be drunk on lager before watching.

I read JR’s comment as for a football final not necessarily for the women’s - it is generally the culture that people drink before matches especially finals?

Do they? The majority of people watch finals at home on tv.

 

[Doingitforthekids]

The women's team are insanely talented.

There is an argument that they have been the best team (alongside City) in all of football over the last couple of years.

We are very lucky to see them in action

I find the distinction a bit annoying. At work, it would be absolutely fine to call someone a 'difficult man' or 'horrible man' but anyone saying 'difficult woman' would be accused of misogyny. Didn’t Corbyn get into trouble for calling Theresa May 'stupid woman'? No doubt her calling him a stupid man would have been accepted as general parliamentary knockabout.

As for the women’s football commentators, there is one who’s particularly annoying but not sure of her name. The bits I’ve recently watched have been with the sound turned down.

Calling anyone stupid is unacceptable. People can and do stupid things, but that doesn’t make them stupid. Anyone calling someone stupid is not acceptable in Parliament.

We're in a World Cup Final, we're f**king brilliant, of course I'm watching.
