My wife and I were at Wembley on Sunday. it was a well-organised day out and the United fans were in good voice. both ends given over to each team, but generally, no segregation. A family atmosphere and no feel of trouble.
United started brightly and Ella Toone inches offside during the build up to the 'goal' scored after 22 seconds. shame. United played well in the first half, Chelsea in the second. Maybe not deserved defeat, but Chelsea are a strong squad.
I didn't like the use of VAR. Too clumsy and slow and no announcements to the crowd to tell us what was going on. Why not flag for an offside when there is no clear attack on goal?? Lots to learn.
Overall, disappointed with the result, but not with the passion and desire shown on the pitch. The ladies should be proud of themselves and use the whole experience as learning curve to go again and win the lot next year!
