Whether you agree with the comment or not, singling out & ridiculing an individual on an official club account is not what we’re here for. Karen Carney is a well-informed pundit. This tweet is inciteful & inappropriate. Not a good look now, or at any time. #WomeninFootball

Congratulations to defending champions #USA who retained the #FIFAWWC with a 2-0 win against #NED . Second half goals from @mPinoe (pen) & @roselavelle 's sublime low finish saw off the plucky Dutch. What a tournament it has been from start to finish! 🙌🏾 ⚽️ ❤️ #WomeninFootball

On Boxing Day 1920, around 50,000 fans saw them play at Goodison Park. Thousands more couldn't get in. They defied the subsequent ban on women's football in England, and played on for decades more. We can all take inspiration from Dick, Kerr Ladies FC.
