Adrian Durham has some words for those who dismiss women's football The Group D opener, aired on terrestrial TV, smashed the previous record from the Lionesses’ Euro 2017 semi-final defeat by the Netherlands, which peaked at 4million viewers.It also topped the viewing figures for both of the men’s Nations League games – which were televised on Sky Sports.The 3-1 defeat by the Netherlands on Thursday was watched by 2.5million, while 1.2million tuned in for the third-place match against Switzerland on Sunday. England forward Fran Kirby said: “I think we’re always fighting these people who are saying stuff, but it just shows that it is a minority and there are many people out there that want us to do well.“And ultimately we are playing for England, for our country, and to make the supporters back home proud. We’re not playing to try to show these people that people do care about women’s football, that’s not what we’re trying to do. We’re trying to win a World Cup for our country, and I think everyone who supports football can get behind that.“Hopefully we can continue to grow those figures and keep that minority a minority and really grow this sport.”
