A great piece from JohnnyTheNic before the women's Euros start on Wednesday evening...

The last few years have seen a revolution in women’s football and it’s about to get louderDate published: Monday 4th July 2022 9:07 -The Euros start on Wednesday. All England’s games are on at 8pm on BBC 1. A few years ago, putting a women’s football match, even an international, on at primetime on terrestrial TV would’ve been unthinkable, but that was then, that’s not now.

It cannot be overstated how front and centre the tournament will be in our lives over this period, even if you’re not interested in football or in women’s football.– even if they don’t – it will make household names of the England team, if they’re not already. This could not have been imagined even 10 years ago.

Currently, only 63% of schools offer girls’ football in PE lessons and only 40% of schools offer girls regular extracurricular football. The FA’s ‘Inspiring Positive Change’ strategy is to have 75% of schools providing equal access to football for girls in PE lessons and 90% of schools offering regular extracurricular football by 2024.

This simple bit of justice is what anyone who has supported the women’s game has always wanted and it was this that the sneerers, snipers, cynics and naysayers were trying to strangle at birth. That’s why so many people got so angry at every witless “no-one cares” comment. OK, have your loud, stupid, bigoted attitude if you must, but why should kids have their futures denied to them by it? It was always unjust and unfair.
