Hey, loves! 🌟
I don’t know about you, but I’m still buzzing from our incredible semifinal victory in the UEFA Women’s Euro 2022! The Lionesses have done us proud, and it’s been absolutely inspiring to watch them grow in confidence and dominate on the world stage. From the very first whistle of the tournament, these women have shown grit, determination, and an unshakeable belief in themselves—and it’s all paying off as they head to the final!
Watching History in the Making
There’s something so special about watching this England team play. It’s not just about the goals (though they’ve scored some absolute beauties), but the way they’ve come together as a team. You can see the camaraderie, the trust, and the sheer joy they have in playing together. Every match has been a masterclass in skill, teamwork, and heart. As the tournament has progressed, their confidence has soared, and it’s been incredible to see them rise to the occasion time and time again.
Star Players Shining Bright
We can’t talk about this incredible run without mentioning some of the star players who’ve truly shone throughout the tournament. Beth Mead has been an absolute standout, scoring crucial goals and proving to be a constant threat in attack. Lucy Bronze, with her world-class defending and tireless work rate, has been rock solid at the back. And let’s not forget Fran Kirby, whose creativity and vision have been key in unlocking defenses.
Ellen White has been a goal-scoring machine, leading the line with experience and poise, while Lauren Hemp has dazzled with her pace and trickery on the wings. And who could overlook the impact of Millie Bright at the heart of the defense, keeping things tight and leading by example?
This squad is packed with talent, and it’s been an absolute joy to watch them play with such passion and pride. Their performances have been nothing short of inspiring, and they’ve truly captured the hearts of the nation.
The Growth of Women’s Sport: A Triumph Beyond the Pitch
One of the most fantastic things about this tournament has been the sheer size of the crowds and the TV viewership. We’re talking packed stadiums and millions tuning in to watch from home—it’s clear that women’s sport is finally getting the attention and respect it deserves. Seeing this level of support for the Lionesses is not just a victory for football, but for women’s sport as a whole.
For so long, women’s sport has been underrepresented and underfunded, but this tournament has shown the world what we’ve known all along: women’s sport is just as thrilling, just as competitive, and just as deserving of coverage and sponsorship as men’s sport. The passion, skill, and dedication of these athletes have captured the hearts of a nation, and it’s about time we see this kind of support across all women’s sports.
C’mon the Lionesses!
With the final just around the corner, I’ve got my fingers (and toes!) crossed that I might be able to pull a few strings and snag some tickets —fingers crossed! The atmosphere is going to be electric, and I can’t wait to see what our girls can do next.
Whether you’re a lifelong football fan or just getting into the game, this tournament has been a reminder of why we love sport. It’s about more than just winning or losing—it’s about inspiring a generation, bringing people together, and showing the world what’s possible when you believe in yourself and your team.
So, here’s to the Lionesses—thank you for giving us a summer to remember, and for showing the world what women’s sport is all about.
Let’s bring it home, girls! 🦁🏆
PS: Yes, my husband did disown me while the game was being played. "Someone" was screaming "unnecessarily" at the top of her lungs 😊.
