What do you see in the picture, when was it taken, what is happening, why so many people?
The photo shows the victory parade in London to celebrate England wining the Euros final against Spain this summer. This is the second year running the the Lionesses won the competition.
We can't see the individual people in the photo, do you think they are all women?
How might they be different?
Is women's football popular in England?
65,000 fans joined the victory parade to celebrate the Lionesses. This year Uefa announced that over 657,000 spectators attended the matches, which is almost 100,000 more than the last Euros in 2022.
What do those numbers suggest about women's football today?
Of course there were some people who had different opinions about women's football this year.
Why do you think some people don't like women's football?
Where do those ideas come from, what is that an example of?
In an interview during the final, former England player Karen Carney talked about how she was laughed at when she started her career playing for a boys team.
Why did that happen?
Why didn't Karen play for a girls team?
Karen reflected on how things have changed; "There is a little girl and also a little boy that now knows that there is a place for everyone to play football."
Why does Karen say that?
Why does she mention a little boy too?
In the msn link above you can see a one minute film of women's football history and Karen's reaction.
In the film we hear a commentator say, "There is a place for women in football; it's making the tea at half time."
Why would he say that?
What do we say at our school about sport and equality?
How can we make sure at our school no one feels they don't belong in any sport?
Why is this about No Outsiders?
Which British value is this about?
