She won it by shouting FO to everyone whilst losing,England was a poor side who fell lucky by playing all the even more poor side’s until Spain.

Well there are only 3 sides ranked higher than England of which Spain are one (highest ranked as well) - they also beat the host nation in the semi finals.

 

Hardly a bye was it.

Superb piece, as ever, from the excellent Marina Hyde, skewering pant-wetting old farts: So, what is it about the brilliant, victorious sportswoman Mary Earps that bovine men just can’t abide?

... Four months on, it’s depressing that many girls who have idolised and been amused by Earps will have clocked the backlash against her doing something as innocent as winning a trophy, led by bitter men older than their dads, who would somehow regard themselves as more enlightened than paleosexists such as the defenestrated former Sky pundits Richard Keys and Andy Gray (but aren’t). However, there is much to be positive about. Tomorrow, Rebecca Welch will become the first woman to referee a Premier League game, as she takes the whistle for Fulham v Burnley. Welch has spent years working her way up from the ground on the referee programme, which will count for absolutely nothing for some – but what a landmark.

If its because she is a woman then why was there no bitter old farts moaning about the previous two years winners?

 

I think it's more to do with the fact that others were more worthy of the trophy, you know, who had actually won something.

Lovely to see that Marina's piece has prompted this dim bulb to peck out a response.  Anyone get a spare second class stamp to cover the postage?
