Couple Goals: Footballers Playing Their Partners: Britain’s Youngest Football Boss

It’s four months into the season and West Ham United women’s team, who have won two out of their last six games, now face the daunting task of taking on current champions Chelsea. It's a match that, for 90 minutes, will turn partners into opponents, as off-pitch couple Alisha Lehmann of West Ham and Ramona Bachmann of Chelsea go head to head for the first time.

Good for you but also how?? I once got dumped over a monopoly game so.. Edit: Oh wow since this got so many likes, I guess I’ll share y’all the story. So, tbh it wasn’t entirely because of the monopoly game, let’s just say our relationship was already kinda strained for a couple of months, but what topped it off tho, when we were playing the game. She just got out of jail, then she had to pay for her houses and hotels cz she got that cursed Chance card, and then on her next turn she landed on my hotels in Broadwalk. She said I was cheating, then it escalated from 0-100 real quick, and somehow I got dumped. The end🙂

Alisha is faster, though. I actually also kinda think she has a stronger kick from the corners. I kinda wanted to see them race each other to see who was faster. It’s that little competition and teasing that keeps the relationship fun.
