How patriotic are you?

To me it is like the Olympics when you cheer for your countryman whatever the sport.

If it was the chance for England to win the gold in tiddly Winks, male or female, I would take an interest and champion their cause.

If the women get to the final I will be watching, aswell as keeping an eye on the Leeds game, and rooting for the lionesses especially if it's against "the germans".

Harold of wessex presume had the crown for a bit.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Yes Harold Godwinson, you could also make a case for Edgar Ætheling but he was never crowned unlike the hapless Harold who served for almost all of 1066.
The other one you missed out though this really picky is William 3rd who was king alone on the death of his wife.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Yeah good call he was. I went to Carrickfergus Castle think he won the battle if the boyne there. Was tiny

You've got Oliver Cromwell but forgotten Richard unless you're just referring to the few years where we were a republic?

Put Oliver there for context but yeah you are right Richard had it for a year didn't he?

Always a bunch of these kind of comments on women’s football threads:

“No! The standard of the football is dire! I’ve never watched a game of it and never will!”

Yeah, nice one genius

At the moment I'm debating do I watch the women tonight on free TV at home or do I go to the sports bar and watch it there!..

Don't think there'll be any anti's there!.

Watched the Lionesses destroy Sweden.
Brilliant performance. Brilliant team. Mentally
strong. And many top notch individual
performances across the pitch. Proud.

Went to the sports bar last night and saw a good game of footy!..

People can say what they want but I've watched more womens football this tournament then ever before, and I can say that what I've seen now and in the past, the quality of football is getting better!..

Lets hope the Lionesses got up early this morning and got their towels on those bloody sunbeds before those pesky Germans know what's hit them

Feck, its raining here!.
