Is that you know what is going to happen next.
If the men had won the World Cup – either version – it would be front page news, lead item on every bulletin and, like after the 2005 Ashes, honours and sponsorship deals all round.
That same year, England’s women won their version of the Ashes, too. It made some early evening news bulletins and that was it. They’d waited almost 20 years longer than the men to regain them and what happened? Captain Claire Connor got a medal and they were graciously permitted to share a bus around town behind the men’s one. Everyone and everything else was ignored.
I just know that the same will happen again – only without the bus ride. So much for sex equality.
