LIONESSES, THE PRIDE OF ENGLAND 🦁❤️️🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 Keep your heads held high, this is only the beginning ❤️ Since the Euros win in 2022 the Lionesses have inspired an extra 2.4 MILLION women to participate in football. Regardless of this loss, the legacy this team has left us with is inconceivable. A whole new generation of school kids will be shouting ‘Toone’, ‘Russo’ and ‘Earps’ as they play football on school courts, hundreds of thousands of women will fall in love with the game we all hold dear, and the determined few will get a chance to leave their own legacy in England shirts ⚽️ All the more impressive is that not long ago, many of these players were part-time. They weren’t playing for the chance at fame or stardom, let alone a paycheck, they played for the love of the game. The status they’ve achieved now is a byproduct of their determination, a status that only a few years ago seemed impossible 💪 It’s been an honour watching these players grow from part-time professionals to World Cup Finalists, and we cannot wait to cover them as they challenge in future tournaments. However, all the more exciting is the future of Women’s football in England. Thank you Lionesses, for everything. This is only the beginning 🦁❤️️🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿
