He tweeted his view before England kicked off against Spain in Australia at 11am UK time
Greater Manchester Mayor Andy Burnham has aimed a dig at football's schedulers for allowing other games which clash with the Women's World Cup final to go ahead.Mr Burnham didn't mention any particular games but, during half-time in the showpiece final, Norwich began their Championship fixture against Millwall.The game, televised live on Sky Sports, kicked off at 12 noon.
Andy Burnham tweeted: "This should be the last time when other football takes place on the same day as the Women’s World Cup Final. "It is time for the whole footballing world to give the women’s and girls’ game the respect it deserves." Earlier, comedy writer Danny Baker was more forthright, tweeting: "I genuinely don't know how Norwich and Millwall can kick off tomorrow knowing the Women's World Cup Final is already underway.
"A greater disrespect to the women's game is hard to imagine. A World Cup Final. Verses some game Sky have decreed."
