Even more irony, i read that players will be allowed to wear armbands highlighting "social issues" so expect plenty of rainbow armbands, all the while sponsored by a nation who hands the death penalty to gay people, and hates women.

I wont be regardless. The whole event, the BBC covering it, the whole thing will be insufferable.

How come they show England women’s team in a meaningless friendly on ITV yet we can’t watch the England under 21s European cup matches ?

Harvey Elliot , Smith Rowe , Gibbs White , Jacob Ramsey , Curtis Jones and Cole Palmer etc etc .

They are trying to get people hyped for the women's world cup i guess. I always noticed at these games (not currently watching) but the crowds are always cheap days out for kids. When you hear the cheers and "roars" after goals and stuff, it has such a different sound to the men's game.

its not a meaningless friendly, it is farewell game, before they head down under to begin their training camp before the first official game

[Nicky91]

Netherlands winning 5-0 over Belgium

goals are from Lieke Martens, Sherida Spitse (penalty) Lineth Beerensteyn, Victoria Pelova and Katja Snoeijs

[bitontheslide]

group stages yes, but some of the knockout stages could be around lunchtime maybe, then its like evening games over there
