And if you want to know more about Esme Morgan, she spoke to @TheAthleticFC about Trader Joe's, drinking squash, oh, and Sarina Wiegman's involvement in her decision to leave Man City for the #NWSL. nytimes.com/athletic/56918…
Chloe Kelly “thrives in these moments”. “She loves them,” said Sarina Wiegman. “You can tell.” Kelly had just scored England’s winning goal against Italy to send them through to the Euro 2025 final. It has not been an easy few years for Kelly, who has shown resilience to become…
Excl: Tottenham Hotspur winger Hayley Raso in talks over move to Portuguese club Benfica. 30yo Australia intl in final year of contract w/ Spurs. Agreement yet to be reached between clubs. Full story w/ @GuillermoRai_ @TheAthleticFC nytimes.com/athletic/65104…
Patri Guijarro has probably been the most consistent player at Euro 2025 so far and it’s not unreasonable to talk about her in Ballon d’Or terms. Here’s how she keeps Spain and Barcelona together, on and off the pitch. With @Laia_Cervello ⬇️ nytimes.com/athletic/65084…
From Arsenal loaning her out to Everton, her ACL injury & being frozen out of Man City squad, Chloe Kelly's story is one of grafting, patience and comebacks. “Chloe is just attitude, sass, confidence,” said Lucy Bronze. @TheAthleticFC nytimes.com/athletic/65100…
No greater commentary honour than covering your country in a major tournament, ESPECIALLY for moments like this 🤩💪🙌🏴
ENGLAND ARE LEVEL IN THE 96TH MINUTE! MICHELLE AGYEMANG HAS DONE IT AGAIN 🔥
Another sluggish start, another comeback, another progression to the next round. It's essentially England's usual script, not just at this tournament but in 2022 and 2023 too. nytimes.com/athletic/65098…
Have tried to breakdown that #Lionesses #Euro2025 madness with @reallycerys @TheAthleticFC nytimes.com/athletic/65061…
Esme Morgan starts over Jess Carter, the only change Wiegman has made from #Lionesses QF win vs Sweden. Follow all the live action here: @TheAthleticFC nytimes.com/athletic/live-…
Why does football often look to Black players to solve racism through their emotional pain and labour? And when they have no control over the structures enabling racism? What powers do players have v social media companies? nytimes.com/athletic/65064…
Just over two hours before kick-off, on the home page of the website of Italy's biggest sports newspaper, La Gazzetta dello Sport, the first web item covering tonight's women's Euros semi-final between Italy and England is the 59th-highest item. Fifty ninth. #WEuro2025
England fan walk from Lancy Pont-Rouge train station to the North entrance of stade de Geneve is underway! #Euro2025 #Lionesses

one thing the women's Euros lacks is shocks. There's a big six: England, France, Germany, Netherlands, Spain, Sweden. And they don't lose to the others, who are P27, W0, D1, L26 against them in 2022 & 2025. Italy v England is the final chance for an upset. nytimes.com/athletic/65067…
Sarina Wiegman has described the racial abuse suffered by Jess Carter as “ridiculous” and “disgusting” ahead of England’s European Championship semi-final against Italy on Tuesday. 📝 @charlotteharpur nytimes.com/athletic/65070…
Explaining why England will not take the knee before #Euro2025 and the players' support of Jess Carter. @TheAthleticFC nytimes.com/athletic/65052…
All the Lionesses played football with boys at some point In contrast to most of Europe, mixed football has always been a political issue in England - but now ideas around best practice are changing Special report on its history & where we are now nytimes.com/athletic/65012…
Ann-Katrin Berger saved, dropped to her knees, arms stretched Christ Redeemer style. Same arms that reached into another dimension 30min earlier. Germany in the semis. Despite hair pulled, gravity, basic human limitations. Bc of AKB @TheAthleticFC nytimes.com/athletic/65041…
