Leah is a real role model and what a captain / leader should be, making the world a better place for everyone. She’s classy, intelligent, articulate and extremely empathetic. Not only that but she’s one of the best players male or female in the world today. There isn’t really anyone that can do what she does in the 11-a-side game. She’s a phenomenal musician and author too. Arsenal will have the third biggest stadium in the world in women’s side of the game and that is incredible. Football is a sport for everyone and we need clubs and countries to ensure that abled bodied and disabled players no matter the discipline get equipment that’s suited to each group, equal pay, funding, working conditions, rights, visibility, promotion and infrastructure. It should be enshrined in law.

You can tell Leah's mum was a manager from the confidence in speaking, decision making and taking authority. You can also see that she knows how to answer without, as she admitted, answering the question. I recently commented on a video for a Twila Kilgore press conference in USA that they would be shocked at how Emma Hayes would use distraction rather than straight answers. Strange that the success at the Euros came with Sarina Wiegman, who the team described as blunt and to the point, telling what she expected succinctly, not debating it. Something for the Oxford Union to consider?

Young people from less affluent families getting to training / matches isn't just in women's football. A friend's son was at Swindon Town's youth academy, they had to make their own way to games. Got a game in Plymouth, 3 hours away, it's up to the parents to get them there. I assumed there'd be a minibus

I understand what you mean. However the womens game is behind the men's right the way across the board. In terms of what you just said it may be more of a deprivation point of view. So if you were to be a girl and in a deprived area that's a double whammy.

@@ingridpett9324 Also, parents are more willing to invest in their son's travel if they think they could get a return on that investment. In England there's probably under 300 professional female players, maybe 100 of those are from overseas. Of the 200 remaining I would guess the majority earn under £40,000 a year. It's not an investment that will yield a great return, if any. That makes it a fairly middle class sport, like horse riding (Millie Bright), ballet classes (Beth Mead) or gymnastics (Leah Williamson)

She actually made this exact point around 8:00 - 8:30. Adding to your point and her, football is more of a middle class sport for women, so more working class girls miss out. Especially when you consider that some teams don't have women's teams. Literally yesterday, it came out that Thornaby scraped their entire girls and women's teams. It is not rare for women and girls' teams to receive way less support so the men's teams can get support. Interestingly enough, multiple Lionesses have talked about the need for more investment and programs for working class kids to be able to access sports.

Did you not see the women's Olympic final between USA and Brazil both teams had majority black players. Diversity would make the women's team much stronger it has for the men's team. The FA have admitted mistakes in the professionalisation of the women's game when they shut down schools of excellences for girls in the big diverse cities and built them in rural white areas and this one decision turned women's football into a white middle class game because it means only the girls who families had to the money to travel to these elite schools got the coaching to be professionals and this had led to the whitening of the women's game, when 10 or 15 years ago when it was semi-professional there where so many black English players.
