Times are changing for the better in women’s football
Beth Mead and Millie Brown celebrate reaching the Euro 2022 final

WHO’S excited for Sunday? I can’t wait. I’ll be taking my eldest daughter to Wembley Stadium to watch England vs Germany in the final of the 2022 Women’s European Championships.

It’ll be a trip down memory lane of sorts for the pair of us, as it will be 10 years since I took her to watch GB Women beat Brazil at the 2012 London Olympics.

A lot has changed in 10 years, changed utterly.
