Would not be surprised if the Euro win for the English Lionesses has as much impact on English football as the 1966 World Cup win.
Re women's fitba.
Journalist contacted 2 Scottish international players to see if they would give him an opinion of the impact on the Scottish women's game on England winning euros.
The first took umbridge at being asked directly and referred him to her agent
The 2nd one got her agent to ask what the "disturbance fee " would be for her opinion.
It's not about the money though. 😂 It's aboot being role models ...apparently.

There has to be a realization at some point that the acheivement of their women winning the Euros doesn't even register in the wider scheme of professional football - brilliant by them for doing it but it's been done at a level and that level has to be acknowledged and not displayed on the same stage as the senior men's game.
The media hype has eased slightly with the English successes at the Commonwealth Games and I think once the proper football, and particularly the World Cup, get going that realization will strike home.
The journalist in question has been a long time supporter of women's game I think he was fairly dumbfounded re agents and disturbance fees for basically a quote.
And imho asking Scottish players who play their " trade" at Gussie or wherever is like asking the wee lassie that works behind the counter at boots about the "war on drugs".....same all park subject but the relevance 🙄 like asking me about greatest living dabs, jdfc about gpo short comings or Islay about islays community councils greatest leaders.
Possibly. 😄
Another thing I noticed is that wifeys are now in the windows at Ladbrokes and Willie hills .........now I don't mind that per se but thought the woman's game was whiter than white......no swearing, no simulation, no endorsing products that ain't family friendly.....hypocrisy just wynds me up.
This is typical of things nowadays.
People are looking for a handout for giving a short reply to a question. I could understand them asking for a fee for a full page article regarding their views about women’s football and how they think that it will grow but to expect a fee for a simple answer to a question is in my opinion ridiculous and is just greed.
It is also disappointing that the cancer of football agents has infiltrated woman's football as these agents have already sucked money out of the mens professional football game and now they will probably do likewise in the women’s professional football game.
