That is outrageous. Seems like the boycotting players weren't so far off after all

Mrs SI tells me she dedicated the goal to a friend's mum who died last week.

Goes to show that a disunited team with no trust or respect can still win.
The players deserved it. The management did not.

They've put football and winning above her own father. It's fucking outrageous.Well this is kind of twisted. The Guardian article doesn't mention the detail that her father had actually passed away a couple of days earlier but they kept it from her to keep her focused (that detail is from the Mail which I won't link to).

I've been too gutted to post in here before now tbh. I can't believe how badly they played, worst I've ever seen.

Yeah I'd be incredibly angry if I were her. They've robbed her of any chance to feel anything other than sadness and bitterness about this win. It would have been a huge ask for her to have got herself up for this match within two days of hearing that news, but if she had done, she would have played on her terms and celebrated winning on her terms.

Maybe I've had my head in the sand but it turns out Nike refused to put Earps' name on her shirt. Would possibe reason could they have had for that?

Been a weird tournament.
On the pitch, it's been a real showcase, demonstrating just how far women's football has come, and no more so than with the quality of the goalkeeping, which was variable at best a few years ago. Earps herself epitomises the progress women's football has made.
But off the pitch, there is still sexism and condescension. Still a fair way to go.

Nike are crap.
Interesting given Nike are an American company and womens football is big in the States; maybe very patriotic?
Yeh that was the very hard to read message on her vest that she tried to display after scoring, a reference to her friend's mum. Presumably if she'd known her own dad had passed that might have been a message for him.
It's pretty awful. She would have thought he was watching his girl score the winning goal in a WC final back in Spain and would be the proudest man on earth.

If he'd died two hours before the game, ok, but two days? Yeah I think that would feel like a betrayal to me. By everyone, including my family.

From what she said I think she feels that he did. Thankfully

She had a microphone shoved in front of her face directly after hearing the news. So she had to say something and quite possibly didn't want to ruin the occasion any more. Who knows what she really feels?

Yeah, I guessed it would have had to be. Hopefully she will forgive them.

2 days is a long time to keep that a secret from her. Was she not in touch with family and friends through any number of social media things?If he'd died two hours before the game, ok, but two days? Yeah I think that would feel like a betrayal to me. By everyone, including my family.
This. I'd be furious if it were me.

I don't condone his actions at all. Why you would think I might is puzzling to say the least.

This further attempt to replace English with Spanish by the pro Spanish lobby in England is very worrying

It's why I switched over to ITV, and therefore why England lost.
I think the opposite. I was being facetious

Well it certainly offers a more believable perspective on why 12 women might have left the side than 'differences of opinion over tactics'
