The Lionesses...

Are their any in the England ladies cricket team?

No.

France had only one white player in their side in their last game. England have 3 "ladies of colour" though you only usually se Nikita Parris play.
Spain were better than I expected though we gave them acres of space on their left wing whereas they subdued our wingers. Great winning goal though.

Two Teutonic nations going head to head, I don't suppose there were any Jewesses playing either?

I am sure if there were any better players qualified to play for England Women Sarina Wotsit, as someone earlier so endearingly dubbed her, would have picked them. She seems to have mastered (or should that be mistressed?) the art of football management.

This is the problem Outwood, she is undoubtedly picking the best players, picking the team on merit, but there are no Black girls good enough to be picked. Why not, what's holding them back, is it racism, is it cultural, is it something else ? Where are all the black girls ?

The GB athletics male and female 4 x 4 relay team consists of 8 black athletes.

It will be an exceedingly good team to beat our lot! I thought the Swedes would present a proper challenge but no, the lionesses whupped their arses 4-0!

Russo has already shown her quick feet v Northern Ireland and this was pure cheek and quick thinking- born of a side playing with amazing confidence and belief. The appointment of Wiegman by the FA was a master stroke. A proven winner exactly the same as we needed to take charge of the men’s team.

Russo is a very lucky girl, it came as chased the rebound from a shocking missed sitter. It was pure Wout Weghorst as she shot straight at the keeper when it seemed easier to score. But Alessia got onto the rebound and became a national hero as she scored with a flooky back-heel. Poor Wout never got a chance from a rebound and became Public Enemy No 1 in Burnley. Such are the vagaries of a footballer's life.
