Souness described football as a man's game after the 2-2 draw with Spurs.
His comments were criticized by Beth England and Eniola Aluko, who played for England.
The physical nature of the game was analysed by Souness.
Souness said it was a man's game all of a sudden.
I think we've got our football back, as I would enjoy football - men at it, blow for blow, and the referee letting them get on with it.
Souness was sitting next to Karen Carney, a former England player.
Dave Jones said it's also a woman's game.
The London derby ended in an angry confrontation between the managers of the two teams. The two were shown red cards after the game.
"Awkward turtles, Graeme Souness talking about 'it's a man's game again' sat next to an England centurion Karen Carney, two weeks after the Lionesses end a 56-year wait and win," wrote Aluko. Let's come on. It isn't okay.
"What a disgrace to say after the summer this country has just seen," said England, who won the Euros.
Souness told Talksport that he regretted what he said on Sunday.
He asked to explain. I've been pushing for a long time for the referees to have a bigger part in the success of the league.
We need to be careful what we say, but we were becoming like other leagues.
The game didn't flow and the refs blew the whistle a lot. Our game has always been unique and has always been more intense.
In my comments yesterday, I said we have our game back. I used to play that kind of football. The league will be better for it.
