England’s Lionesses: 'If you can't see it, you can't be it'

There has been an ecstatic reaction across England to the historic victory of their women's football team in the European championship. The Lionesses beat Germany two-one thanks to an extra time goal from Chloe Kelly.

Emma Storey is a sports journalist. She told Newsday: “We hear a lot of chatter from certain more traditional fans that ‘oh, nobody cares about womens football, no-one’s interested’…Let’s have that conversation about what’s bigger…in 30 years time when we’re on a level-playing field. At the moment, we’re still catching up.â€
