I have honestly never seen a game of woman’s football but have heard a lot of talk about it and am happy to give this event some screen time
Paddy Paddy have tempted me in with a free bet builder
Plus they are going £2 free bet every time a player you chose in the top scorer market gets a goal.I’m not positive but there do seem to be a few more goals in the ladies game unless I got that wrong
The overall market looks like a lot of teams have a chance of landing the cup
Ellen White has my tenner weighing her down. Her goal scoring record is around 1 in 2 although again I ain’t got a clue how strong the opposition is in this and how many of her goals have come up against cannon folder
4/1 White top scorer £10
Betbuilder
England 3-0 Cs
White 1 shot on target
England under 1.5 bookings
England over 5.5 corners
Returns over £60 for a five free hitGood luck anyone else taking any interest in the Euros

Ellen White hit two goals tonight
The bad news is the only bets I can place the free bets on are betbuilders
Oh well, might hit something but that will teach me not to read the small printGaelic Warrior Gold Cup Winner 2026
Bet builders are obviously a total mug’s game but if it’s free go for it. Is there a limit to how many selections you can put in there? If not, go for glory with longshots and bulk it out with shorties like over 0.5 goals would be my strategy.
I think it’s a minimum of 4 selections as that’s what I did on the first bet and if it was 3 I’d have stuck to that

I put the 4 pound free bet on a Denmark betbuilder moments before kick off.
It workout out at just short of 8/1 and I got 3/4..😭
Think I’d rather them give me free Doritos than the headache of a betbuilder..😂Gaelic Warrior Gold Cup Winner 2026
Of course there’s a minimum and not a maximum, what was I thinking? 😂 You can tell it’s been a while since I had a bet.
Can’t believe England’s semi final win last night is the lead story across much of the media today.
By all means celebrate if they win on Sunday but they ain’t won nothin’ yet. Cracking backheel goal by Alessia Russo last night, though.
By the way, how poor is the standard? I appreciate that women’s football has come on in leaps and bounds over the last decade or so but if this England team played Liverpool or Real Madrid’s men’s team, they’d lose 74-0.
The French girl Delphine Cascarino would make a decent addition to the Taunton Town bench
I posted a thread on here about Emma Hayes turning down the MK Dons job. I think it would have been great to have a mix of men and woman but they need to understand they have to work their way up. Like you say the standard isn’t PL stuff

England who gave their backers 30 minutes of backers remorse were right to celebrate last night as Germany and France will be tougher assignment especially if Fran Kirby doesn’t contribute a bit more in midfield. 4/5 is far too short to lift the cup. The German ladies game is uncannily similar to their men and I can see them stealthily strangle the French for all their athleticism and physique and then despatch the Lionesses in the final. They probably underperformed against their Austrians neighbours last week in the quarter finals like the Dutch did v Belgium. Looking forward to these two open games – best to leave any bet to in-play IMO.
The standard in my opinion is excellent.
Contrast the men’s game with the women’s game as an event and as a marketable spectacle.
I see why football was described as the opium of the masses over a hundred years ago and that description reached its zenith at Wembley last year.
The woman’s game has been propelled beyond the men’s game and a lot of people don’t like it because it brings home so many truths.
The ethos of sport has been lost in the men’s game to unfathomable piles of money and excess.
A mass of tattooed men rolling about in ‘agony’ at the slightest contact was conspicuous by its absence. The atmosphere of menace in the stands also gone. No jingoism, tribalism, boozed up, stoned, coked up neanderthal fans screaming lifelong allegiance to whatever and throwing plastic containers of urine over each other to celebrate winning another corner.
On Sunday there will not be masses of entitled ticketless fans turning up and storming the stadium they will be replaced by families.
And for my money the structures the England women’s team have played to have eclipsed anything the England men have managed in the last few years (despite reaching the semi’s and final of the last two majors) They have taken home advantage in a major tournament to the final and looked good in doing so and conceeded just one goal.
Yes the Germans are technically advanced and our main line of defence is our last line Mary Earp. But they have reached the final on home soil on merit and deserve this moment in the sun without derision or criticism, win or lose.
The inclusivity and diversity which racing needs to reach out and grab has happened here and is staring us all in plain sight. The genie is out of the bottle and it is not going back.Agree with much of what you have written, Sam, especially about how money has ruined the men’s game and the contrasting behaviour of supporters at men’s and women’s matches- no arguments there.
However, the standard on the pitch is dire- as I said in an earlier post (perhaps with a little exaggeration), a top men’s team would stick at least twenty goals past the best women’s team in the world.
And I cannot entirely agree with your statement that “they have reached the final on home soil on merit”; England were extremely lucky that the elbow wasn’t punished in the buildup to the late equaliser against Spain.
The harder you work the luckier you get Glad.
Men’s football has had eons to develop and should be the pinnacle of excellence. Women’s football cannot and should not be expected to match that in a few years.
But given the rate at which it has developed, it provides a great spectacle at international level to full houses and a huge tv audience so to that degree it is eclipsing the men’s game in a very small space of time.
The main point is that it is opening doors to lots of people to enter the game which before now were very firmly closed. 🔐“The harder you work the luckier you get”
I’m not going to turn this thread into another political discussion but that’s utter nonsense. Try telling that to the people who have to work two or three jobs on minimum wage and/or zero hours contracts just to try to make ends meet.
Back to the football: even in a hundred years’ time, a top men’s team will still be capable of easily defeating any women’s team. Of course, it isn’t politically correct to say so, but the simple fact is that the best male players will always be faster and stronger than their female counterparts.
Off the pitch, however, I concur wholeheartedly that this tournament has done wonders for the game and inclusion in general. Quite how racing can try to emulate this success, though, is unclear. Women riders only days? 🤷♂️
Good post Sam.
I like Glad can agree with a lot of it

“If Qatar come calling lets hope the woman have the balls to refuse to go”
Nathan if those at the top of the game get paid enough then the world cup will take place on Mars once Elon Musk finds out it’s possible. These players sadly don’t get a say.

“I’m not going to turn this thread into another political discussion but that’s utter nonsense. Try telling that to the people who have to work two or three jobs on minimum wage and/or zero hours contracts just to try to make ends meet.”
You just did.“The harder you work the luckier you get” has nothing to do with politics.
It is a take on Gary player’s quip when people lamented at the luck he enjoyed when dominating Golf.
“The harder I train the luckier I get” was his retort. Probably lifted and adapted from the above in the first place.
Racing really can take a helluva lot on board from what is happening through this tournament. I certainly hope they do.
They could start by asking themselves, do we want booze cruises or family days with affordable entertainment.Racing does a women only card at Brighton and women only races. I’m not sure of its impact or wether people including women jockeys actually want either.
“Back to the football: even in a hundred years’ time, a top men’s team will still be capable of easily defeating any women’s team. Of course, it isn’t politically correct to say so, but the simple fact is that the best male players will always be faster and stronger than their female counterparts.”I’ve not left the football and I hope my explanation covers that.
It is not a given that your assertion is correct.
Neither of us will be here in a hundred years.
