Toni Duggan wants the Lionesses to be criticised in the same way the men are – stressing equal treatment must be in motion across the board.
Speaking ahead of the start of the Women’s World Cup, the Barcelona forward has admitted she’s found encouraging remarks after international defeats a ‘bit patronising’ – and insists if it was the other way round the men’s team would be getting plenty of stick.

Toni Duggan wants the women’s game to receive the same treatment as the men’s
“In the past, we might have lost a game and you get fans messaging you saying, ‘Ah, don’t worry, you’ve done so well’ and it can be a bit patronising,” Duggan told the Times.
“We’ve actually played badly and people are saying, ‘Ah, we’re so proud’.
“Is it just because we’re the women’s team, is it just because we’re girls? If that was the men you wouldn’t be saying that.”

Duggan, 27, also wants to see a more raucous atmosphere around grounds when women are competing in this country, citing her contrasting experiences of playing in showpiece finals in both England and Spain.
“I played at the Wanda [Metropolitano in March] with 60,000 people for Barcelona against Atletico Madrid and we broke the record for attendance at a women’s game,” Duggan explained.
“There’s a picture of me celebrating and behind me there’s a man putting one finger up.
