I can’t wait for experts to get on Jonas’ back like they know the squad better than them.
Very pleased to see Maanum starting. Hope she has a strong game and gives Jonas a nice selection headache for upcoming games.
Good luck, girls!
Lyon 1 Arsenal 5. 2 for Foord, 2 for Mead, and Maanum. Who expected that?
F*cking impressive
What a total performance from all
Absolutely, I actually feel stunned!
A fabulous performance and a well deserved victory. I feel so proud of this squad. Ladies you are fantastic!
I’m in shock! This result will send shock waves across the WCL. I know it was a good time to play OL but my goodness we thrashed them.
A big thank you to the Academy lads – those training matches were just the ticket! We have arrived.
The standout factor in all this is that football is a team game. The best team, not the best individuals.
