I'm not taking offence, I just questioned your figures which suggested far more people were interested in the Womens Euro final than was actually the case. I am also not convinced that it was the massive massive event that you and the agenda driven media would like to portray it as.
As I said...
Is that true ? - 70% of the UK watched the final ? I find that hard to believe ! I know 100% of our house didn't and I know very few people who did watch it.
As Sooty said, women who play it and people who watch it clearly enjoy it, so good luck to them. However, it is not the quality of men's...
My 14 year old son asked me the other day what was my favourite game ever, not counting Play-offs, and this was my answer. He was astonished ! I need to teach him more history !
Rhodes should start without question. He made a huge difference against Wigan. I would also start Beesley for his aerial ability and bring on Lavery if needed depending on how the match is going.
