Lioness star goalkeeper, Mary Earps, recently revealed her disgust surrounding the mismanagement of \u201cbad behaviour\u201d within the England squad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Only 5 weeks before this year\u2019s European Championships, Earps was abruptly removed from the England first 11, losing her place to rival Hannah Hampton (Chelsea\u2019s current superstar), leaving the public shocked and tentative over what the decision had entailed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Earps had long been the top goalkeeper of the England Women\u2019s team, proving to be a crucial member of the squad during their 3-year unstoppable road to success, together earning both European Championship victories and incredibly skilled performances in the 2023 world cup final.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Being named the \u201cbest goalkeeper of the world\u201d twice and continually remaining a key face of the Lionesses, Earps\u2019 decision to retire from international football was undoubtedly met with much surprise,causing eyebrows to raise amongst UK football fans, only to be answered in her recently written autobiography, \u201cAll In\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In her autobiography, Earps reveals her disdain surrounding poor behaviour on Hampton\u2019s part, stating that it \u201cfrequently risked derailing training sessions and team resources\u201d during their victorious Euro 2022 performance, a year where Hampton was later dropped from the team by head coach Sarina Wiegman for a poor attitude amongst the squad. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Whilst her book does not explicitly specify the exact details of Hampton\u2019s actions and seemingly problematic manners, it entails her involvement in Hampton\u2019s drafting back into the team, where Wiegman apparently chose to consult Earps over decisions to include Hampton in the England Women\u2019s Football Team once again in 2023. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Wiegman\u2019s argument that \u201ceveryone deserves a second chance\u201d was met with unsurprising horror by the star goalkeeper, especially when Earps discovered Hampton would be starting for the Lionesses in one of the European Championship 2025 qualifier matches in 2024, claiming \u201cBad behaviour is being rewarded\u201d, something Earps found inexcusable within sport, let alone a particularly powerful national team. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Months later during preparations for the Euro 2025 Championship, Hampton was named the starting goalkeeper rather than Earps, a selection which soon sparked the news of retirement from international football by the PSG sensation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Though quite rare for a player to release an autobiography outlining disputes and altercations with another current player, even more rare when detailing a previous teammate, Earp\u2019s book serves as a reminder of the tension that goes about unnoticed below the surface of international sport and how it can massively affect those within high performing teams.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
