Re: Congratulations England! What a team!
OK, we have "Women's Rugby" "Women's Cricket" "Women's Soccer", and AFLW "Australian Football League Women"
We used to have "Woman's Work" but you can't say that now

Re: Congratulations England! What a team!
I stand corrected!!That should of course read 'the England Ladies Football Team'. England, Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales compete as individual nations in FIFA international competitions.

And to confuse things further, in rugby, Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland compete as Ireland

Re: Congratulations England! What a team!
Now of course, questions are being asked as to why there weren't more coloured players in the team.
Perhaps they just weren't good enough?

Re: Congratulations England! What a team!
I don't care if the team is all white, all black or all fluorescent green (or any mixture of those)! Players should be chosen on the basis of who is best to play in that position and give the team the greatest chance of success. There are black players in the squad and they have made a big contribution to England qualifying for the Euro's.

Not forgetting the British Lions (or more correctly, the British and Irish Lions) Rugby Union team.
