'It's a feather in a cap that no one can take away'. Former American soccer player, Brandi Chastain, says the Lionesses win in the WEURO2022 is 'incredibly powerful' and shows to countless young girls that this 'dream is possible for them'. Latest ⚽️
The Lionesses lifted the Euro 2022 trophy last night at WembleyQueen hails team as 'an inspiration for girls and women' It appears the team brought the same energy to their celebrations as they did to the pitch - with full-throated renditions of Freed From Desire and Cascada's Every Time We Touch. If you want to see the team lift the trophy once again, you'd better get yourself to London's Trafalgar Square this morning.
But when the First World War started, the men's league was suspended as many young men signed up to fight. The men's game was paused between 1915 and 1919 - allowing women's teams to spring up. But the English Football Association sought to put a stop to women's football, and in 1921 the FA formally banned women from competing in their grounds and using their training facilities. It took 50 years for the ban to be lifted.
Fans watching the nail-biting final occasionally saw the team's head coach kissing a wristband she was wearing at the game.Just a month before the championship, her sister passed away, and she took time away from the camp to grieve with her family. She said:"I'm kissing this little armband that was my sister's. My sister passed away during our prep camps."She would have been here, she went to every game, so she would have been really proud of me, and I was really proud of her too."
