As a 28-year-old American guy that played professional soccer and is now an Air Force pilot, I have been absolutely thrilled by the growth of the womens game. Vastly entertaining and professional.

I love you Alex, I think you're awesome. Don't accept anyone's criticism because you're one of the best TV presenters ever.

As a life long (60 + years) Chelsea supporter, I'm completely addicted to watching the women's team play now .. sometimes more so that watching the men's team. The flow, skills and commitment of the women players is fantastic and compelling to watch. I can easily see it reaching the heights of the men's game, in time, and I'm 100% behind getting it there. Well done and massive respect to the likes of Alex Scott and Emma Hayes unbelievable success against the odds and very much the best role models for all young people .. of all genders. I'm humbled by the achievements of those who have promoted and developed the women's game to where it is now, you have my complete respect and thanks .. for what that's worth.

Such a good doc on the womens game. More people need to see this! Big up Alex 🙌

Just watched the whole tournament WOW can we have more of that. Like Wrighty said, get it on the school curriculum and in another ten years we will see British girls from all walks of life shining on the world stage of the beautiful game. Great documentary by the way.

Very well done documentary. I am a Manchester United women's fan and love the game. Hope it continues to grow as time goes on. Such an exciting game...

A very interesting documentary. I myself have been a coach for both athletics and women's soccer teams since 40 years ago. Following Liverpool FC, S.S. Lazio both men's and women's teams. I am of course interested in how their practices and matching of the teams develop and work every day. Right now I follow the European Championship in England and watch every game. Very impressed with England and my favorite women's coach - Sarina Wiegman. Has Dutch total football as a basic idea. The difference in how the clubs develop their women's football compared to, for example, Sweden, is that in, for example, England, Spain, Italy, Germany and Holland, the men's leagues have been professional since the beginning. The clubs have a professional handling of players who have this as a job. The clubs know how to manage the environment at the men's. Therefore, even though they have a long way to go for the ladies, this is handled as if it were their job, their profession. They get to know what it takes to train and become good and good. It is hard work that counts. Hard work with everything. There is a difference in Sweden, because professional football has never been accepted there. We are still at an amateur level. Therefore, the attitude, even at the highest level, is that it is still the most priority to have fun and enjoy being together and train a few days a week without having demands on you to perform. why should you perform when you don't get paid for it? That's how the jargon is even in the highest series. Same thing with the quality of the workouts. It's boring to practice the basics of football, passing and such. Then you train on fun things instead. In addition, the jargon of the women's national team is to take a stand for left-wing political events, rather than to embrace training to get better.

As a 72 year old Canadian male, I am an addict for the women’s game. The game is exciting to watch and has vastly improved over the past few years. Barcelona has set a standard that all others need to strive towards.

I’ve been watching womens football for over ten years but as a rugby fan it wasn’t a priority. As time has past, more exposure, the skill factor and passion has changed my view of the game. Womens football is now my first game, I started at NWSL in the US and now find the WSL the best league because of diversity, ethnicity, larger and wider range of international clubs and countries. Now a passionate Chelsea fan and England is my team. Go England!!!! Fm NZ xx

Thank you for sharing this!!

Crazy to me to see so many men's egos drop on social media talking down on women and their game, whilst they have mothers, sisters, girlfriends that they wouldn't want people shatting on them.

This Euros tournament is going to be awesome! IMO, 6 sides have a good shot of bringing it home!

Watch them grow, gonna be special

Great doc wish I could have played football at school and happy future generations of girls are now allowed & able to thrive

This is amazing for young girls and women's football. Come on England. Love watching the Euro football . Women's football is the best. Shame we didn't have this in my time . X Thanks Alex. Loved the video . Your doing great in your new career xx

So So beautifull! I wish i had all of this being shared and being done when i was growing up...certainly i had been a professional football player. I'm really really happy that all these girls have the opportunity to grow up like this, and have all these opportunities. Thank you to all the ones out there that are related to this. Keep working, do thins. talk about it, sharing, beeing seen.

Gracias 😍👍🔥👌❤🇲🇽🇬🇧

Love Alex Scott ❤️

Back in the early 2000s I was on a trip to Chicago and went to find a game to play in at NWU. I joined in with some of the Uni men's team, but the highlight was watching a match between the NWU women and another Uni. I couldn't believe how good the women were: their skill, physique, positional sense: they all seemed to know their jobs so well and perform really well. Unlike the women team at our UK uni, these American women were tall, athletic, strong in the tackle with excellent balance and aggression. They could strike the ball so well. And the setup was incredible back then - better than our Uni men's team. Everyone had full kit on, there were coaches and medical staff, loads of substitutes and excellent equipment. And that was an amateur match. I'm so pleased to see women in England do so well and winning the Euros was just incredible, but all the matches they won were riveting. I'm looking forward to the next England women's march than the men's (who always underperform and disappoint).

Diverity is a good thing but surely talent, ability and quality in players must come first. So ground roots is where this should start and it will happen.

The WSL should be played in the summer, after the mens season. The good weather would bring out the crowds.

this is amazing

ALEX YOU ARE SUPER AWESOME,,ALWAYS WATCHED YOU PLAYING

I am an American male and I love football. I find the women's game more exciting than the men's game. If I had a choice between women's and men's football I will choose the women every time hands down. I love the WSL. In my opinion it is the best league and is only getting better as time goes on. Excited to see what heights the women's game will reach into the future...

Alex Scott, she's so gorgeous it's ridiculous.

Great piece of journalism Ms. Scott

Women’s football is the future! Well done ladies!!

Why do we keep having to set caps based on race, if the player is good enough, then they will play.

Like what the girls were saying if a lady scores a worldies they will question the keeper but if the male side did it it would be the opposite

Bros holding tears when reading the comments

I'm glad to say i started to watch girls football in 2012 and watch Man city. I was shocked at the hatred shown at that time from some men to women and replied to the contrary in support for them some years for which some years I received hostile replies. Glad to say things have improved since England's great displays recently.

Alex ❤️

Alex is just amazing

IM a new fan of womans football rugby is my thing sorry lol im loving it final tomorrow england germany ??? awsome have taking the wk offf ???

Very good programme and as uncomfortable for some to hear the subject of diversity being brought up it’s right for the question to be asked along side the success the Englands Womens team are having. My daughter plays at a high level imo there are a number of factors behind the lack of people of colour.. (diversity)… We of colour in the girls/womens game know. When you see the English mens teams from U15 to first team there is representation. When you see the French Womens National team it’s obvious girls want to play …. So what’s the difference in English Womens football… Look at Netball, Athletics why is it so different in football…

Hi Alex can we see your shoes on football focus hun xx 😀

Very good but the best players does not play in WSL.

U look stunning as always on football focus some boots and leather trousers one week would be good mwah stu 😊 xx

emma looks stunning. the we one is a cutie

Loved this doc until it got to the nonsense of “diversity”. Players should be picked on merit and the best players should be picked regardless of race! Not forgetting that England is a majority white country!

Always downplaying the achievements of the Spanish team(s)

I like the bit about the diversity of the female game, because in a diverse country like England it is a bit embarrassing how white the England female team is compared to the men's teams and other teams sports in England. And is football popular with black girls too. It was refreshing that the English FA was honest and recognise the problem, rather than get defensive or be in denial. They just said we made a mistake in putting female development academies in white suburban areas and offered no support for the players outside these catchment areas so basically ignored the black girls in the urban cities. That is why England team players all come from only 3 or 4 cities. Now they have to change this because I feel black girls will take England's game to the next level, because I think France are better and they did not ignore the black girls in their country.

you don't gey equality in men's football or any sport its if your sellable to the public, that goes for all sport look at Emma Raducanu its not just how good your are mores the pity, but i do love watching the womens sports they are so technically good

It's a different game entirely, England women would lose to Rochdale if they were given a 3 goal start however that doesn't mean it's not entertaining it is just so very different. Woman should be allowed to play in men's football if they are good enough, there should be no bias towards gender and everyone is equal. It is so patronising when someone says she is brilliant then finishes the sentence of with for a woman. I will say that lately there has been a very imbalance intake of women in media covering men's football it's almost like you have got no chance at getting the job if you are a man that has played at the top of their game and is a household name because the positions has been taken by women who make comments and judgements about players that they couldn't live with, I'm all for women being part of the punditry on TV but it has got silly now, last night England V France the was a female presenter interviewing two female ex players about a men's world cup quarter final and that is disgraceful and discriminating against men, If it was the other way around there would be an uproar and I would be one of those arguing against the discrimination of women. Let women's football be women's football and let men's football be men's football a bit of crossover is fine but artificially forcing it down peoples throats will make it a laughing stock and have no respect.

No disrespect but womens football has moved on so much and so have the standards of opposition that I doubt Alex would get in todays England team even in her heyday.
