England Lionesses are Champions! - Euro 2022 Final: Referee Blows the Full time Whistle 

No problem, women's football is fantastic, if you haven't watched any WSL football before, that starts on the 10th September. the league should be very exciting this season.

wasn’t even a good game. very choppy. keep watching its awesome.

Watching any England football team has been very painful in the past, feels surreal to finally see an England team win a major tournament in my lifetime!

Yeah! And we were always good enough to win it (in fact from 1986 to the early 2000s). The girls actually won the Mundialito (precursor to the World Cup) in 1985 and 1988, but the standards were lower. We won the SheBelieves Cup recently, but on a major level, this is the first time we have seen our country (in football) proclaimed Champions...which is bizarre. However, under Mark Sampson England women also deserved to win a couple of major tournaments. That they didn't was largely down to Milly Bright and a couple of other players making hideous, massive mistakes in the knockout rounds. We've always been deserving. But now - ironically when we are past our peak, and have the very manager who cheated us out of the last tournament - we can actually Say that we are the best! It's an odd world. When we have Paul Scholes, Gary Lineker, Alan Shearer, and so on (in the women's game, Rachel Unitt, Izzy Christiansen, Jordan Nobbs, Toni Duggan, Jodie Taylor, Alex Greenwood) we get nothing. When we have Kiera Walsh, Demi Stokes, Williamson and Hemp, we win. If I've learnt anything about football, it's that you could be the best in the world for years - it's not enough; the winner of a cup almost always has luck on their side. Argentina, Spain and Weigmanns Netherlands are a few of the best examples. And 'luck' might be quite a soft word for it too. Remember when that Jamaican tosser Raheem Sterling dived against Denmark in the last UEFA Championship to knock them out and get us to the final? So much for being deserving. And with the cheat that is Weigmann... England finally found their destiny.

@@donmontague4107 You know you’re correct. Under Mark Sampson the England team became winners instead of the usual plucky losers. He made a few personnel changes, brought in a professional attitude in training, made the team work harder tactically, and gave them a winning mentality. It was good to see them win at last.

Exactly the same for me, I'm also a 31 year old and even months later I still cry every time I see this, from the moment "its coming home" starts to play around the stadium loud and proud its like seeing your dream finally come true over and over again, to beat Germany at home in a final is actually a lot more precious than any dream coming true. The happiest day of my English life.

@@donmontague4107 And with the cheat that is Weigmann.? how is she cheating?

Football is about representing where you're from. They would've done better to actually look in the fans direction, rather than just each others.

@@donmontague4107 done better? What do you mean?

Good sportsmanship but I think oberdorf should have been sent off for the fouls she committed.

Usually I'd agree with you, but I think after winning the tournament, she and the others should have been facing their fans.

Their reactions to the win were very interesting to watch, seeing Leah Williamson consoling Oberdorf was classy, then I think for the older player like Jill Scott and Lucy Bronze it was probably surreal to win after all the semi final disappointments.

@@OnlyOneUnitedChannel Just think Jill was 22 in the 2009 cup and one of the youngest players there.

real class and England in this game don't go well together

I think instead of going over to the German players and eachother, they should've faced their supporters and shared it with them. That they didn't could be a very telling sign of how much they actually value their fanbase.

@@donmontague4107 Totally disagree with you. It is done out of respect for the opposition and happens in all sports. It would be disrespectful if they just charged over to the fans and celebrated without acknowledging the opposition first. I am guessing you don't watch much sport.

A very surreal feeling to witness this, dug in for the win!

Didn’t think I’d see it in my lifetime, and it’s clear these Lionesses can’t quite believe it themselves. So many tears from those who know what they had to sacrifice just to play this ‘beautiful’ game. For once, I cry happy tears.🥹❤️🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿❤️

Proud on timewasting?

Very lucky to have been there, atmosphere was incredible but there were times I was sick with nerves, such a tense match, playing Germany always a massive challenge, they just consistently produce brilliant teams!

@@OnlyOneUnitedChannel yeah it was a very intense game I was really nervous too. In all honesty I actually thought on the day Germany bossed long spells of the match or at least that's the way it felt, I thought our girls were on top first half and were creating numerous chances but then the German's grew into the game 2nd half and when Toone put us ahead it was somewhat against the run of play and nobody could deny they deserved their equaliser. As it went into Extra Time you could tell both teams were starting to tire so it was always going to be whoever made the first mistake that proved decisive rather then an actual moment of genuine quality, all in all throughout the tournament though the Lionesses thoroughly deserved it and it was in some ways poetic justice for World Cup 1990 and Euro 96 when we mostly outplayed the German's and it was they who rode their luck.

@garryarden3322 Neither was i :( but my dog was :))

Incredible!

The womens team also seldom get picked on the basis of race politics, unlike the men's. In recent history most Lionesses were picked on merit, not skin colour. That makes a massive difference to the quality of a team.

@@donmontague4107 out of interest, which player has been chosen due to skin colour and which player missed out as a result?

And a big portion of timewasting

The last 16 games , including the upcoming ones for Brazil and Australia , have been sold out , usually on the day of sale. I'd love to go to australia to watch them , wouldnt we all ? but its out of my price range :(

The men's team was too and they lost at pens to my 🇮🇹

Yes, great footballers, great dignity, great passion

Made history! How many people can say they have seen England win a major tournament in their lifetime, very special to witness!

@@OnlyOneUnitedChanneli can also win with cheating.....

@@kipo58 Go on then, tell us how we cheated :)

@@OnlyOneUnitedChannel How many people can say they have seen England win a major tournament in their lifetime,......... me , twice :)

Stupidly england mens didn't do it

A well earned win, and credit to Germany too for such a competitive game, very nerve wracking but exciting with some brilliant players on both sides.

Not proud of the manager, her Holland team cheated us out of the last tournament. That's why we didn't win last time. Proud for the country though! Mark Sampson was the legend manager who got England's women to a competitive standard. In fact, we were much better under him and if Bright etc hadn't scored pivotal own goals every single tournament in the knock out rounds, we would have won at least one major tournament. Bright didn't score an own-goal in the knockouts, and that is why we won this time. Since Sampson was appointed we were always good enough.

@@donmontague4107 i personally am very proud of our manager and everyone of them Lionesses for how they won the tournament, not giving up , kept fighting especially when we went 0-1 to Spain, but pulled it back and won 2-1 , then went on to batter sweden and defeated our war rivals germany in a close game, i think without being biased though , we deserved the win more and got it to make 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 the Euro Champions 2022. Credit to all the manager and all the lionesses, they all rightfully deserved the victory and to be called champions , they all know how to play the game of football in my opinion. (I dont use the words wantI and need because it means lack , which means you don't already have it) If you desire something , dreams ,goals, ambitions and desires like the Lionesses did with the euro Championship , then you work hard, keep putting every bit of fight and effort in to it , just like the Lionesses did in that tournament .

Absolutely, so many different reactions, tears and joy, all why we love football!

Great competitors, Leah Williamson was also comforting Lena Oberdorf, which was very classy!

@@OnlyOneUnitedChannel lena pushed her away

They wasted 8 minutes😂😂😂

@@freedomisthegoal1 and the men dont ?

@@richard6440 what a dumb question is that?? Tf??

@@freedomisthegoal1 They wasted 8 minutes =and the men dont ? =what a dumb question is that?? Tf?? ............. For those of the hard of thinking , if the women ran the clock down , i asked if the men do ' not ' do that ? I know ive seen men doing exactly the same. So it seems a logical question. Want to answer it ? :)

As an Italian I understand what if feel like singing and hearing this song when England win any tournament in any category because we sing Notti Magiche whenever we win

How very true.I was there in 66 and the English did not deserve to win.But this team played superb football and behaved with great charm and dignity.Worthy winners

Definitely, love both men's and women's football, we don't need to compare them, just enjoy double the football and talented players!

What wonders did it do for men

They let the country down at least three times before this. In That context, then yes, we should be proud of finally being the Champions. But I've supported England's women since at least 2013, and it's easy to sit at the finish line today without going through all the let-downs when they Should have won. Good they did, enjoy it, but my god it wasn't as simple as they make out now.

@@jimtaylor7670 the fact that it doesn't need all that money that our men are on to win a major championship only belief and hard work.

@@donmontague4107 are we to remain in the pass I too have watch the women game infact the first women international England match was way back in 1984 when only 4500 was there if we keep remembering the past how can we look forward to the future yes I agree we witness some dispointment with our lionesses and no it wasn't by any means easy but give credit they pulled through when they could have bottles it like the men do.

For the timewaisting? Yeah! Fabulous

who hurt you? 🤣@@freedomisthegoal1

Well they just made it to the final, so your wish has come true

Me too. Digital technology is fcking unbelievable.

Well, sort of... but the women ended their's years of hurt, which I think is 38 years of hurt for the women came to end, so sorry to burst your bubble, but 56 or 57 years didn't came to an end!

@@oxthree448 Mate I don't want to burst your bubble but it was an England team that won the Euros. Unlike some ' supporters ' , the fans of the England Women would be just as happy if the men won it as well. Shame that the mens ' fans ' cant support both " England " teams.

Thank you, my hands got shaky at times, my nerves kicked in! Very grateful to have been there, and always wanted to be able to share the fans view from the stands.

Thank you! Cheers!

Playful pushing.

No problem, was a honour to be there to witness this win, the joy and relief when the whistle went was great!

Mate I don't want to burst your bubble but it hasn't the women ended their years of hurt, which is (I think) 38 years of hurt

@@oxthree448 Mate I don't want to burst your bubble but it was an *England* team that won the Euros. Unlike some ' supporters ' , the fans of the England Women would be just as happy if the men won it as well. Shame that the mens ' fans ' cant support both " England " teams.

Best goalie in my lifetime.

Mary is an amazing goalkeeper and person, grateful she is the Man United keeper as well as England, we love her!

Considering she was dropped by England in 2019 and not recalled until Sarina got the job, it's incredible the turnaround and also how much she is still improving all the time!

I saw her first :D

@@OnlyOneUnitedChannel being Man Utd too... she's a dream.

It’s coming home- lightning seeds.

Many thanks guys

No.1 next year in World Cup🏆

@@robharris8844U Maybe, we will be a 50% veteran 50% rookie team so no surprise if England wins. Good test coming up October 7th.

@@guyconger 😏Let the games begin 🔥🔥🔥🔥

You are the reason that everybody thinks Americans are wankers. Please keep it coming!

@@donmontague4107 USA, USA, USA

Fortunatamente no. Oggi il calcio femminile inglese e' anni luce davanti al calcio femminile Italiano. Una ragazza del mio paese ha dovuto smettere perche' ora ha 15 anni e non puo' giocare insieme ai ragazzi. La squadra femminile piu' vicino sta ad un ora e mezza di strada. Se le cose non cambiano l'Italia rimmarra' al terzo mondo dal punto di vista del calcio femminile.

@@milesfurnell La mia generazione - Anni Cinquanta - è cresciuta rincorrendo la Palla su prati, oratori religiosi, cortili condominiali e marciapiedi. Ovunque, si giocava al calcio. Ci si esercitava a colpire di testa, lanciando la Palla contro un alto muro di cinta. Oggi, tutto ciò non esiste, o è soggetto a divieti..... Le ragazzine devono trovare spazi nuovi: anche a costo di sgombrare dai mobili la stanza più ampia di casa! e usare una palla di gommapiuma: perché, rimbalzando, non fa rumore! Sarebbe già un buon inizio....

Hush.

@@PhotographyDrews oh Drew....I love you. ❤

Aw...didums!

@@marypetrie930 what do you mean, Mary ?

Fraud? how?

Both. I'm English so it's only natural to follow my country's team , male or female. I also like the way they play, just pure football , no cheating . the beginning and the end of Women football interest in this country ? You think ? 6 months later, the England women's games are still sold out. So thats your opinion wrong. Never mind :)

Cry more.
