Well didn’t the Lionesses do unbelievably well in winning the Women’s Football Euros?
I must admit I was worried when, for the first half, the Spanish girls passed the ball around like the Barcelona men’s team. However, it was a different story in the second half as the team spirit and resilience of the Lionesses overcame. Some might say that the Spaniards were unlucky but to be honest I lost a lot of respect for them when they started rolling around, pretending to be fouled when they obviously were not.
One hero was England forward Michelle Agyemang, who has been named UEFA’s Women’s EURO 2025 Young Player of the Tournament.
Premier Christian News writes: The 19-year-old is a Christian, who wears crosses on her socks, was “raised on gospel music” and plays piano to get in the zone for games. She is a member of the Christian football group Ballers in God and proudly displays a cross in her Instagram bio.
Agyemang has proven her place in the England squad. In the quarter finals, her goal against Sweden took the team to penalties. The Lionesses then roared into the semis, where again she scored a critical equaliser – in the 96th minute.
After Sunday’s victorious final, the breakout star directed all the glory to God, telling the BBC: “I thank God for where he’s brought us as a team… We’ve won, we’re European champions.”
Just four years ago, Agyemang was a ball girl whilst her soon-to-be teammates played at Wembley.
“It’s just surreal… to have come so far this quickly,” she said. “It’s only by the grace of God… the teammates around me, the staff, the coaches, everyone’s put in the effort to help me get me where I am and where the team is today.”
What a fantastic testimony!
