World Cup Final 2023: England V Spain

[Maggot]

It's here. The England Women's first ever World Cup Final. Sunday 20 August 11AM.


I started a seperate thread for the Euro final and that went pretty well, so hoping history will repeat itself.

I will be watching in a pub in Sandwich.

I will be watching it with a sandwich in a pub.

 

[fucthest8]

I shall be watching in an as-yet-to-be-decided venue in Bristol.
I don't give much of a fuck about the men's game, but I can get behind this. Thought the semi against Aus was cracking entertainment

 

[Numbers]

Sandwich, sofa here..

 

[Voley]

Sofa, sandwich here.

 

[planetgeli]

FEB out at 10. Back by 11 to watch with tea and a cheeky spliff or two.

 

[Steel Icarus]

Definitely sofa, probably FEB buns

There's a big screen job in Manchester, tempted, but unlikely to go. Might see if a local pub are doing a mini big screen.

 

[JimW]

It'll be on council telly here at teatime. Perhaps watch it with a bowl of rice and some bitter bamboo root

So a normal large telly?

So a normal large telly?

Let me explain it like this...

“Special announcement, football is coming home” this was the tannoy announcement at the station just now

Did the commuters cheer

 

[Wilf]

Anyway, I'd be unsure about the fanzone Throwing Your Pint in the Air etiquette when England score.

Where are you, Madrid?

Where are you, Madrid?

Herne hill station, London

Not a flinch

The lack of general excitement amongst the usual football community is quite frankly embarrassing. Just goes to misogyny is rife with most male football fans IMO.

Ive got more joy watching our women's team than I ever had watching our men's team who always find a way to bottle it.

On the other hand they are not missed. I might seek out a fanzone on Sunday knowing that I won't be surrounded by wankers

Must confess I'm more invested in the outcome of my hometown team's early season lower league fixture later the same day. Though same would be true with the men. ETA Not that they'd be playing same day in latter scenario of course.

Hugely successful WC, and yet still with this SHIT

 

[May Kasahara]

We will be travelling back from Paris on Sunday Perhaps somewhere will be showing it at the Eurostar terminal.

Surprise surprise Nottingham Council not putting on any fanzones due to "budget concerns"

Isn't there a load of other sport on in Nottingham this weekend which is why the Nottingham Forest v Sheffield Utd game is on tonight?

Probably but you would think they would put the boat out for this one. It would have been a shoe in for the men's team.

 

[AverageJoe]

Oh I agree. But I think there's something daft like three cricket matches on this weekend at Trent Bridge, which is why the football is movd to tonight and not televised.

So the football forums I am on say shrugs

 

[Monkeygrinder's Organ]

Can't imagine why councils wouldn't have spare money for short notice events.

 

[savoloysam]

The council are getting ripped for this on Facebook and they are deleting the posts. What a bunch of wankers.

 

[littlebabyjesus]

I love the women's world cup partly because it isn't the men's game. Media is hyping it now. I'm liking it less

 

[krtek a houby]

Won't be watching. Nothing against the England, would have tuned in, but the national broadcaster decided to show only the national team's matches. So there's no matches since the team exited.

There was a brief burst of publicity and interest when the team was doing reasonably well but that's evaporated now.
