What a night. The first England senior football team to win a major trophy on foreign soil. And 'team' was the key word. Here's my piece from Basel on the team that is rewriting how we perceive English football success. #Lionesses #WEuro2025.

[3/3] Adding up their cumulative reward for a successful cup run, if (for example) a WSL team wins the cup, a WSL team would receive £814k for winning all the rounds they'd played in. In comparison, a cup-winning men's Premier League would accumulate £3,910,000. #WomensFACup.

[2/3] But the money awarded to teams winning fixtures in all of the subsequent rounds remains unchanged from last season. E.g. the prize for winning a women's first-round proper tie is still £6,000, compared to £45,000 for winners in the men's first-round proper. #WomensFACup.

The 2025-26 Women's FA Cup prize fund is confirmed. The pot has effectively been frozen again. You still get £430k for winning the final. The overall pot has gone up very slightly, because a Prelim. Rd for 7th-tier clubs (£600 if you win) has been introduced. #WomensFACup [1/3].

I'm well aware I won't have always chosen the right angle for comment pieces over the years, but this particular one, from October 2021, I think I can safely say was bang on the money. Leah Williamson is now a double Euros-winning captain, and what a leader she is. #Lionesses.
Column: Why I believe Sarina Wiegman should name Leah Williamson as England's new captain this week, and not just for the upcoming games, but for the long-term future #Lionesses .

Leah Williamson: "I’ve been crying all the way down the Mall. I think you can see how much we care about playing for England and how much we love it. This job never existed 30, 40 years ago and we’re making history every single step. This story is not done yet!" #Lionesses.

“Who has got the ability to take us right to the top of Everest?" Those were Sue Campbell's words in 2020 as the FA searched for England's next head coach. In Sarina Wiegman, they certainly found the right person to reach the summit. #Lionesses #Weuro2025.

My silly stat to offer you all is: England are the first team to win the Euros without being drawn into Group A or B. #Lionesses.

It was noticeable “football’s coming home” was scarcely played at these Euros, which feels fitting; it's too melancholy a tune for this team of winners. A song about 'all those oh-so-nears' wearing you down through the years doesn't apply to the #Lionesses.
