Lack of emotional control. Football is a tool that teaches us many things, one is respect. Playing for your country at a World Cup is a privilege and I think some (not all) abused the platform they were given tonight. The disrespect!

This is the stark reality of women’s football!! Top 1% gain and the rest are scrambling. Top heavy teams in leagues while some can’t even stay afloat. Is this the nature of football as a business though, cut throat.

This is still the reality for most. Yes it’s been a great year for women’s football but there is still huge disparity in pay within the leagues. When you get offered less then minimum to be a full time athlete the decision becomes about survival rather than following a dream.
What happens when you're a part-time women's footballer suddenly presented with a professional contract - and then you turn it down?
How do players make that choice? Why do some leave football behind - and do they have regrets?
I spoke to some:
