I’ve been working and living in England for a season. Before the final I was in a shopping mall and of course there was a lot of enthusiasm for football. There were people walking around in England shirts, mostly youngsters, and I was like, ah, they’re doing that to support the women, but I’m sure there’s the names of the male stars on the back, like Harry Kane or Raheem Sterling. Then I looked closer and saw – it was the names of Beth Mead or Chloe Kelly.
