Given what I wrote a couple of weeks ago, I realise it would be awfully hypocritical for me to suddenly start claiming to be a huge women’s football fan, but probably like most of the nation I was glued to my TV last night, biting my nails as the match dragged on and went to penalties. Of course, huge congratulations must go to the women’s England football team: they have achieved what our men’s team has failed to (twice). I certainly think this will mean women’s football will continue to rise in status. The thing is, I just hope that it doesn’t start to mimic the male version of the game and become self-important and awash with obscene amounts of money.
