Bronze played with a fractured tibia for the whole tournament...is that right ?
If so, that's immense.

The better team lost
Such a shit take. That's like saying you wouldn't watch the Women's 100M Olympic final because none of them are as quick as the men.I get your point, but a boys team thrashed Switzerland before the tournament , same happened to Spain and the US women's teams a few years ago. I've heard some say they showed the men how to win, ignoring the fact it's of a very poor quality and the goalkeeping is comedy gold.
Not to mention that to get to the shootout most of them have played 2 hours plus stoppages, which is probably beyond most on this forum.Such a shit take. That's like saying you wouldn't watch the Women's 100M Olympic final because none of them are as quick as the men.
Men have biological physical advantages making them stronger and quicker, so fucking what? I wouldn't mind betting that each of the 'comedy goalkeepers' would save each and every penalty you could take against them though.
It’s kind of insane….Chelsea must be fuming.Bronze played with a fractured tibia for the whole tournament...is that right ?

Yeah. She really hasn't got a leg to stand on.It’s kind of insane….Chelsea must be fuming.
Yeah, there's a lot of naivety and amateurism in the commentaries unfortunately.If you just see it for what it is, the women's England national team winning the Euro's it's amazing, the problem is when you compare it to the men's game, which we all do.
I couldn't believe how biased the BBC commentators and pundits were. They were saying 'that's not a foul' only for the replay to show studs up, it happened a few times.
One of the girls (Mead) came from Warwick and is a Cov fan i believe.Enjoyed it and pleased they won.
I think I'd be more invested though if some Cov connection either by birth or playing for Cov Ladies or something. Even now I find myself as interested in what Jodi Jones did for Malta or Vik for Sweden as I do the England team, who I watched more closely when Wilson or Madders have played.

Maybe because it was strapped up? I didn't see it either.
fair play if so but can’t see it
Think you mean Jess Carter.One of the girls (Mead) came from Warwick and is a Cov fan i believe.
She literally said that pitch side, in an interview after the match.

Rubbish comment- comparisons are pointless
Yea that's the one, thanks for the heads upThink you mean Jess Carter.
Mead came from Yorkshire played for Middlesbough and Sunderland.
Post #17 - you literally compared it to Bowls & Rugby Union!!
ah must be true thenShe literally said that pitch side, in an interview after the match.
Comparisons between the men’s and women’s teams are inevitable really. I know it upsets some people for some precious reason and some of them go overboard but it should hardly come as a surprise.
Hi shmmeee I've watched a load of shite in div 1 worse than thatWatched a bit while I was out for dinner last night. Probably the most women’s football I’ve watched. The quality was poor and completely lacking pace and power but there was something refreshingly honest about the game TBH. I enjoyed it. Didn’t see past 90 min tho.

Er no I said that it generates the same emotional reaction. I didn’t compare the sport.
Probably just down to definition of fracture, none of us know how severe the injury is. We tend to think broken leg as Busst style and still playing but that's not reality.Lucy Bronze: Lioness defender played entire Euro 2025 tournament with fractured tibia
England defender Lucy Bronze's middle name is Tough, which perfectly encapsulates her Euro 2025 performances as the defender tells BBC Sport she played the whole tournament with a fractured tibia.www.bbc.co.uk
Great argument - Well respected, world renowned right back, and known tough cookie, lying on National TV...really ?
So if she showed her x-ray, would the radiographers be lying too ?
Because it’s a high profile team sport where there’s considerable overlap between the ways both the men’s game and women’s games are presented, and where (unlike many other sports) teams/tournaments are run by the same organisations. I really don’t see why making comparisons between the two is so upsetting to some people.Why? I don’t see the comparisons in other sports.
Absolutely agree with you that the injury was most likely a stress fracture - still painful though.Probably just down to definition of fracture, none of us know how severe the injury is. We tend to think broken leg as Busst style and still playing but that's not reality.
Heard an interview with one of the England Mens cricket team physios talking about why so many players now get stress fractures and he said it simply a case of better scanning. He said in the past they wouldn't have been detected and people would have kept playing and it would only be dealt with if and when it became an issue.
Said there was a debate in the medical community if team doctors and being overly cautious and taking people out of action for months for things they would have played through in the past.
Tennis I think is possibly the only example?Why? I don’t see the comparisons in other sports.
