Beth Mead can set aside. At 27, she has just won the title of best player, best scorer and best passenger in the euro. At the end of a final won against Germany in Wembley (2-1), the attacker has mainly earned, with her team, the first major competition in the history of the English women’s selection. But the essential is obviously elsewhere: Beth Mead and the Lionesses have shown English players, looking for an international trophy since 1966, how to do it.

Triumph over the English selection, this euro is also the victory of women’s football, finally popular, finally publicized, finally dressed in an appropriate manner, too. After years recycling men’s jerseys, the equipment manufacturers had created specifically female tunics for the competition. That of the England team was to meet a specifications created by the players. These wanted its cut to be “ample” and that its collar is “round” and sufficiently “stretching to allow you to put it on and remove it without damaging their ponytail”.
Royal crampons
At his feet, Beth Mead naturally wore a pair of crampons. In this case, they were screwed, to best join the Wembley’s fatty lawn and also to continue a very old English story. The very first evocation of metal cramp shoes dates back to the middle of the sixteenth, a century. At the time, the English king Henri VIII would have made this revolutionary pair made by his official shoemaker, Cornelius Johnson, to practice football. Do you doubt it? The pair was found, the receipt too.

For the great occasion, Prince William had also had the good idea to make the trip to Wembley. At the end of the final, he was able to applaud the English players as closely as possible, thereby revealing his usual Omega Seamaster Professional watch with a blue dial, a gift to the immense sentimental value since offered by her mother, Princess Diana, In 1995, two years before his death. Proof that this Sunday was really the day of English women.
