Bit late to the party and don’t want to spoil the goal-fest with a Victor Meldrew style grumpy view but also won’t be watching. I’m enjoying the break from watching football and I just can’t get excited by it. But good luck to them!

Magnificent performance by the Lionesses , although Norway were total s**te . Their left side was absolutely nonexistent and Lucy Bronze et al just kept storming forward . It was incredible that the Norwegian management did bugger all to stem the flow and England full advantage . Mind you apart from that England were dominant all over the park , worked extremely hard and closed Norway down at every opportunity . It ended 8-0 , it could have been 10. This performance should give the Lionesses confidence to go on and win the Tournament hopefully. . Enjoyable watch , England have got some very talented players .

I feel the same, but I will definitely watch the final and probably enjoy it I'm sure you will. I'd recommend having a look in a before that, mind. From what I have seen France look decent, as do the Germans. Didn't catch Spain as yet but I think they were tournament favorites before the start of things. Plus England of course. I think once this lot start coming together it'll be worth a look. Spain play Germany tonight...👍

Went Stanway and 7-0 in my scorecast but we were just far too good.
Best England major tournament group stage performance since England Men vs Netherlands Men in 1996, according to my deputy.

Is anyone actually watching this tournament? ..strange comment bearing in mind that quite a few people on this thread have stated that they are watching it,myself included. Have you actually read the complete thread or are you just looking for a "bite" As you are no doubt aware there are many threads on this board where arguements regularly break out,please go and play on one of them

Is anyone actually watching this tournament? Well there were 21000+ there with me and my family on Saturday night for a group fixture not featuring the host nation.

BBC have reported an audience of 3.7 million watching on TV plus a further 750,000 streaming the match via I Player etc. Figures will no doubt rise the further England go in the tournament but the 11.8 million who watched the Lionesses World Cup Semi Final defeat to USA a few years back will take some beating

Beth Mead "closing in on Wayne Rooney's record" according to the tabloids today. Meanwhile I'm closing in on Sir Alex Ferguson's record of Premier League titles on Football Manager.

It’s great to see womens sports gaining in popularity and how good to see Old Trafford full for the first match, but comparisons like the above do my head in, they’re both worthless and patronising. Records should be kept separate as they are in athletics, swimming and any other sports with long standing male and female participation.

I saw the first 45 minutes of it, difficult to judge too much as there was so much difference between the teams and I don't know women's football well enough to say whether that was typical performances from the sides. But the quality from England impressed me, particularly with some of the crosses put in, I would love to see some of our players put in that level of quality. However it's got to be said the defending from Norway was schoolboy (girl), the space down our right was almost comical.
I'm not suddenly a convert to watching lots of women's football but may watch a bit, particularly if we do well. People should be of course be able to criticise and point out faults like they would with men's football, however I don't understand those who are so quick to criticise and dismiss it, normally without watching it.

Some might be tempted to comment that such a lopsided result gives a bad impression of women's football and the Euro tournament, but when you look at the current world rankings, it's the equivalent of the England men's team beating Germany 8-0. Completely unexpected.

Thing I am enjoying about the games is the lack of timewasting.

This game is definitely high in quality, looks like the winner of Spain v Denmark Saturday will be Englands opponents in the quarter finals then.

Surprised no changes for England seen as we already topped the group.
2-0 up against Northern Ireland at half time… a superb goal from Kirby and the brilliant Mead’s 5th goal of the tournament so far and she won’t stop there no doubt.

Not watched any of the games before tonight. Reasonable game tonight, I think England would maul these if they put them under more pressure.

England 1-1 Spain going into extra time. Late equaliser for England, the Spanish bench not taking it well think there was a foul from the knock down.
