I like going against the grain (a chef once told me to do so!):
Why the complaint? Why shouldn't they take the plaudits? How is it any different from the mens team progressing through a competition and only playing the best team in the final, having played many "weaker" teams in the group / knockout stages.

We often hear about football being the working mans game; well the working women just achieved something special.
I found the football more entertaining, and the players more relatable than I do watching the prima-donna multi-millionaire petals that represent the male game.
