Well, it is the first Senior FA representative to win a major international tournament since 1966 so it should count.

It's not the same as the men's game, I agree. IMO you can't really compare the two any more than you could compare Flo Jo to Linford Christie or top swimmers.... the women's game, in its infancy is still fair, proper sport. Respect for the opponents and the officials which the men don't have. Remember Oxford last weekend? Less cynical fouls. I refuse to call them professional fouls as deliberately breaking the rules, the code if you like, is anything but professional. Far less rolling about in death throes because someone looked at them too hard. there's a video online where two women players collide. One falls down and it's obvious she has dislocated her kneecap. No rolling about in agony as would happen if a male player had his ear flicked he'd be writhing in pain, holding his face (that did happen). She balled her fist, gave the kneecap 3 or 4 mighty sideswipes and it clicked back into place. She stood up and ran after the ball. THAT is how to play the game.
