Trust me on this - This will be the conversation amongst many in the pub before this evenings game. The thing is, I agree with the general sentiment (although not in such a harsh way). When having these discussions, blokes (and it generally is blokes) are obviously referring to the mens football team, and their history, plus their own personal experiences and history of supporting them, sometimes going back decades, and it's that history that make the odd win extra special. The womens football achievements are separate, the same as an England (mens) under 21 team, or an England paraplegic team winning their tournaments would be. All representing England and rightfully proud of their achievements, but also separate from each other and their own sometimes marvellous achievements. It's the history of defeats, poor performances, mismanagements, bad luck, rivalries and embarrassments that make occasional victories sweeter. The same as club football. Anyway, heading there in a few minutes, so l will find out.
