Far more girls are playing-they'll happily kick a football around on the yard or join after-school clubs and it's great to see-there's absolutely no reason why this shouldn't be the case.

My problem with it is that, for me, it's a poorer ptoduct than the one I watch, i.e. the men's game. It's just not as physical, shots aren't as hard and the 'keepers are shocking for some reason.
I am delighted to hear that more and more girls are playing football. The more sport the better and great that the Euros are being played in England.

Do you know what the most practiced sport in Britain is (and, therefore, arguably, the most popular)?

Fishing.

I can’t remember seeing a report about a fishing competition on the BBC sport pages but the women’s Euros is headline every day.

As you can guess, my gripe is with the media here and not with women’s football.
