Arsenal’s Beth Mead has picked up the award for best Player of the Tournament for the Women’s European Championships as she fired England to glory this evening.
The winger scored six goals in helping our Lionesses to reach and win the final of the competition, and has been rewarded for her fine performances with a much-deserved MVP award.

Mead has been on fire all tournament, so it is no shock to hear that she has picked up the award after helping our England side to win the competition, beating Germany 2-1 in today’s final after extra-time.
She has come a long way since being overlooked for England’s Olympics squad just 12 months ago, but is unlikely to be underrated any longer by the head coach.

Speaking as a fan who until very recently was scathing about the lack of quality ,lack of pace(my long time bette noire with all slow male players) and the poor goalkeeping standard of womens football, I have to say I have had something of a DAMUSCAN conversion during this tournament.
I was thrilled , like most fans, to see the massive improvement and also, IMPORTANTLY too, the welcome lack of male testosterone fuelled hotheadedness.
It was wonderful to see great desire, exciting and pacy play and thr game being played in the spirit it OUGHT(but sadly is NOT) to be played, in mens football.
No crazies either in the crowd, another welcome change from mens crowds.
Altogether a landmark moment which will have a major and positive effect on not only womens fooball but on ALL womens sport and the increasing and long overdue empowerment of ALL women.
Not of course in NEANDERTHAL MALE RUN COUNTRIES; Russia, China, Saudi Arabia, etc and a Trump led USA, NOW THANKFULLY OVER!
If only women were in ultimate decision making power in ALL countries globally, what a better, more peacful world it would and could be!
