Just interested that, on what is (essentially) a football forum, no one had mentioned the Lionesses’ undoubted achievement and wondered what we all, as football fans, thought about the standard.
For me it’s a bit like comparing L2 with the Premier League...the game, as a contest, may be fantastic but the standard is vastly inferior and, a bit like England’s women beating the Aussies at cricket, I can’t get as excited as I would if it was in the real Ashes.
For me it had everything that the men's game has missed for a long time, so whilst the euphoria of seeing the men win a trophy might trump it as I've followed it so long, the women were simply better to watch. That'll all change as money starts coming into the game of course!
Talking of the cricket, I'd liken your comment to having to choose a 100 team to support
