Disappointing viewing figures for the England game
imagine will increase as tournament goes on, but think the non England games will be of a wipe out viewer wise
I suspect the non England games will soon be moved from BBC1
England v Austria was the highest viewed thing on TV that night, suspect the BBC are pretty happy about that
read it peaked it around 3.7m which is slightly disappointing in my opinion (and on TV ratings threads)
Plus iPlayer streams it got to 4.5m, considering Corrie does 5m most nights including catch up, that’s impressive
Decent numbers, but a reality check of where women's football is at the moment. If the men had been playing the opening match of a home tournament, they'd have got between 15 and 20 million.

Viewing figures for the later stages though are to an extent like the attendances for Wembley playoff finals. Just because clubs bring 30k to Wembley, that doesn't translate to massive regularly numbers.

Oh Im expecting 38k at home for the Plymouth game in August.

Opening mens game last year got 11m, and then grew from there.
Only beyond the groups did they get 20m plus.
I don’t think anyone in the womens game expects to get the same viewing figures as the mens game, seems only men who want the womens sports to be seen to fail, seem to set these weird barriers for it to jump.
Was at the opening game and it was brilliant to see everyone supporting. My kids loved the whole match day experience especially my daughter as she loves her football.
It wasn't the best performance England's star players couldn't get into the game but credit to the opposition, Millie Bright was outstanding though everyone adamant she should of been player of the match.
Also got tickets for France Italy and a semi-final, which hoping the lionesses win the group and progress though.
Although one change i would make for a fairer game would be smaller goals, it still doesn't feel totally fair that a lot of women's keepers are on average 5ft 8inches and can barely touch the crossbar even when at full reach.

Glad there were other Charlton fans there too. I attended with @Len\'s_little_girl . We are also going to Brighton for the Norway match on Monday. Good Father Daughter bonding activity in my view.
France-Italy is the first game I've seen where both teams looked half-way competent. Seems strange saying that with one of them 5-0 at half-time but the Italian's haven't been totally awful.

Netherlands v Sweden last night was good
Best game by a mile so far, does show how good the women's game can be. Portugal v Switzerland wasn't bad either even if not technically all that great
France were excellent in that first half. great movement and skill. Italy were unbelievably shit in defence. no marking, no tracking runners, no tackles, no structure etc.. it was just hopelessly bad. They got better in the second half but I guess France took their foot off by then anyway.

Hopefully England v Norway will be good
Awful defending.
Made France look amazing.
Very strange game 🤔
Expecting a lot better from England v Norway later.
Superbly taken penalty though.
