I'm also sharing this again because the narrative that the #Lionesses had a poor 2024 is reductive and ignores the competitive nature of European women's football: impetusfootball.org/2025/01/01/t...

The Lionesses in 2024: Nowhere near as bad as the critics would make you believe

by Catherine Mackenzie (1/1/25) Above: The Lionesses come together to celebrate. Photo: Lionesses. It was a mixed year for the Lionesses. A common complaint has been that they struggle to create ch…

Here's an alternative bunch of stats to counter the cherry-picked assertion that the #Lionesses have only won 2 of their last 6 games: - only 2 losses in their last 10 games, which included France x2, Germany, the USA - unbeaten in 4, since October last year #ENGSPA #UWNL

Still expecting the Netherlands to win but I am BUZZING for Scotland! #SCONED #ScotlandWNT

Are Germany Second Half FC?

A goal for Norway made in Manchester, as Bizet sets up Terland. Both were on the bench until 73 mins in. The goal was scored a mere 4 minutes later.

Terland scoring for Norway! Things we love to see 😍 #MUFC

Competition 1: what is Mary talking about here? #Lionesses

Today @catmackenzie048.bsky.social discusses the Nations League MD1 results and what they show about the growth of women's football throughout Europe. She also considers whether as fans we are too obsessed with the idea of young players being game changing. open.spotify.com/episode/52Gy...

I'm going to miss Andries 😂 #OranjeLeeuwinnen

My latest for @footiefusion.bsky.social "If the midweek fixtures pan out as they should, it is possible that the battle for top spot in the group will come down to the reverse of this fixture, when the Netherlands visit Germany in May." footiefusion01.wixsite.com/my-site/post...

Rejuvenated Oranje draw with Germany

The Netherlands had a mixed 2024. Key injuries to players like Vivianne Miedema, Jill Roord and Danielle van de Donk meant that head coach A

Anyone else still recovering from last night? 😂 Rewatching that second half, as sloppy as we were, Portugal got away with a lot!

The #UWNL results today are quite interesting. No massive scorelines, 3 draws and the rest winning by 1 goal. We talk a lot about development in the women's game - you only have to look at tonight to see it.

Also, people saying we need a new manager: You do realise Sarina won the last 2 Euros, right? She makes mistakes like every manager does, but there is no easy game anymore. You cannot expect us to win 10-0. Today's second half was poor. But I want us to peak in July, not February. #Lionesses

Ok do we need crisis aversion talks? England have a lot of positives to take from tonight. The first half was good, our attack looked solid (if needing to be more clinical). I think Walsh missed having Georgia next to her - that is going to take time to work out. Sloppy second half...

A few sloppy passes aside, best England have played in a while? Let's not pretend Portugal are a roll over. Our last game against them was a draw and they haven't lost a game in ages. Russo 🔥 #UWNL #PORENG #LIONESSES

Captain Miedema, things we love to see! ✨ #NEDGER #UWNL

The Court of Arbitration for Sport has dismissed Luis Rubiales' appeal against FIFA on his 3-year suspension from any football related activity. The CAS Panel ruled that the sanction imposed is reasonable and proportional.

Poor defending from Scotland there. Lots of half interceptions but no real clearance. Austria 1-0. #AUSSCO #UWNL

Switzerland v Iceland will be interesting too. Iceland my dark 🐎 for Euros. Seem to go under the radar a lot.

Come on Scotland!! Sam Kerr against Sarah Zadrazil, Bayern loan to Liverpool v Bayern. #UWNL #AUSSCO

Not that I don't like Ian Wright and Karen Carney, but do ITV ever think of mixing it up a bit with their Lionesses coverage? 😂

Michelle Agyemang! What a player. #JuniorLionesses #ENGGER

People going on about England's form in 2024 in the press conference. Way over the top. We lost 2 games, against France and Germany. That is less losses than Spain, Netherlands, France had. Yet the British media and fans seem to think everyone else is on fire and we have been awful? #Lionesses

I really enjoyed learning about the Manchester Corinthians, and so did Freya 😺

Spent most of the day with a small group of Manchester Corinthians who were given a tour of some facilities for women’s football. Nice to see them treated with respect and given recognition for what they achieved.

In today's episode, Nat and Cate discuss the Sam Kerr case, their love for @freelionesses.bsky.social, and the incredible cervical cancer campaign from @arsenalfc.bsky.social and Beth Mead. #podcast #woso #Lionesses open.spotify.com/episode/3IJM...

Interesting - so the KNVB want a woman to lead the #OranjeLeeuwinnen, and that might be behind the decision not to continue with Jonker. Raises an interesting point about the future of male coaches in women's football. I rate Jonker as a coach but can also see the merits...
