World Cup ✅. We took the top 2 ranked teams in the world all the way 👊🏻. For me personally it was the mentally toughest tournament I’ve had to deal with but that was made so much easier because of the love and support of the squad! 5th doesn’t reflect our performances 🦁🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿❤️

Thoroughly enjoyed this! Fantastic awareness by the @England lads & the FA for BSL learning 👊🏻👏🏼💪🏻🤝⚽️📈
It's the @EE #BSLchallenge 🙌 Prior to March camp, our two senior teams, together with our deaf teams, go head to head in a test of football and sign language skills! First up, a shooting drill...
