Yeah, Liverpools!
Can't say I'm overly interested in Women's football but it would be a momentous achievement to win a medal, they'd all become household names overnight which can only be good for the women's game in Britain.
Agree, if they were to win or even get a medal it should really raise the awareness to women's football in England.
I believe they've already achieved this in a way, think the vast majority of the British public have had their heads turned by these women.
If they won, more attention would be put in to it, more girls would be interested, we could seriously see a massive increase in popularity for their side of the game. The more people interested, the more skilled and developed their sport will become.
I don't believe for a second women can't be technically as good, it's just it isn't a popular gender past time like football is to boys as kid.
