Forgive me for going down the “role model” route with the Lionesses 🏴, as they shouldn’t be lumbered with that label. Teens’ world is so social media based. So to see the likes of 19-year-old Agyemang show such resolve and resilience, without a phone in their hands, really does us parents a favour!

I asked England’s 🏴 Lauren James whether she’d spent extra time practising with her left foot as kid. LJ “It’s kind of natural. I had a habit of always using my opposite. Even in school, I'd use my left hand when I'm right handed. It was just a mindset thing. Just stg that I had a habit of doing.”

Thought the Wales 🏴 women ⚽️ head coach Rhian Wilkinson was outstanding with media this morning. Impressive leadership skills, she struck the right balance between confidence and humility. Do not write off Wales in that crazy Euro 2025 group of 🏴 🇫🇷 🇳🇱 🏴

A letter from Philippe Auclair - josimarfootball.com
The reality we at Josimar face is stark. Should we fail to raise € 50k by 1 July, the world's only investigative media dedicated solely to football will cease to exist.

One of my very favourite sport stories of the week is Lo’eau Labonta winning her first #USWNT 🇺🇸 cap aged 32, so fully deserved 👏🏼 . Fantastic footballer, infectious personality. She’s experienced incredible heartache in her life but never stops with the smiles and positivity. #GoLo

How common is this in professional football ⚽️? An intensive, full-time intern role as a performance analyst that pays nothing. In return, they ask you to bring experience, your own laptop (MacBook) and you must provide your own transport. Yet they’re “committed to equality”.

Can't quite believe this was 18 years ago today! Thanks to Katie for the chat about some rather stressful memories and, more importantly, a changing of the broadcasting landscape in the UK 🇬🇧 since that crazy, crazy time. PS 🇺🇸 very different experience 😊
18 years today since Jacqui Oatley was the first female commentator on Match of the Day. Oatley on her memories of that “isolating” time, and how it led to the founding of Women in Football and a lifelong mission to help more women enter the industry

Jacqui Oatley made Match of the Day history but the experience was ‘isolating’
The broadcaster recalls the stomach-drop moment when she realised that she had, in fact, become the story
