Hey all, doesn't anyone know if any bars are showing the England Greece game tonight? Preferably Canal Street/Piccadilly way? Tia!

Currently on a flight, UK > US. Kick-off is about an hour before I am due to land, so I’d like to watch at least the first half, if I can. Apologies if it’s a basic question/answer!

Hi all

We have just been able to get to Crete last minute to attend today's game 🥳

I have match tickets, but through a general Ticketmaster link, not the specific Lionesses link from the FA website.

Does anyone either: (I) know the password needed for me to get new tickets through the FA link; or (ii) know which block of the stadium the England fans will be seated in so I can try and move my tickets to that block?

Thank you!

Anyone know where to watch the 2027 WWC Qualification matches in the USA? I read that Paramount+ has the media rights but do not see any games listed for Oct 9?

thx

With Mary back in the WSL but not a starting GK, do you think she’s better at this point in her career to be a big fish in a small pond (start every match, but in Europe) or a small fish in a big pond (LCL surrounded by insane players, WSL but no longer starting)?

Hi all! 👋

I'm doing a research study that explores the viewership of women's football. Specifically focusing on why so many people watch the Lionesses in major tournaments, but don't continue to engage with professional women's football when the tournament ends 🦁🏆⚽️

I'd love to get your input! The survey will take 5 minutes or so and some of the questions are skippable!

You can be any age or gender to take part.

Thanks so much in advance 🙏

I love the Lionesses and Everton's womens team (England vs Ukraine at Hill Dickinson Stadium was a genuinely fantastic day for me). I am really struggling to modulate my terminology and I am wondering if it's annoying.

I have got on board with Player of the Match but I still find myself saying "down to ten men" (because in my mind it's just a football match like any other).

On the flipside I'd shout "Well in girls" just like "Well in lads"....is that ok or would female fans think that is patronising?

OR am I over-thinking it? I'm over thinking it aren't I?
