Remember going absolutely mental in a pub in Streatham and embarrassing all my friends when this went in! Didn’t care! 🤣 (I’ve blocked out ☕️-gate and Stephs penalty miss however..) Never underestimate just how good Ellen White was. Still don’t feel we’ve replaced her.

@LondonHolly1865 We 100% haven’t. Generational talent, world class goalscorer. Unappreciated for sure - perhaps, until recently.
@TurnerTalkFooty Think I’m guilty of that too. Took her for granted. This post Euros era has really shown just how deadly she was in front of goal. Her positioning, anticipation, pure self belief.
@LondonHolly1865 I think the only other world class number 9 of that gen was Canada’s Christine Sinclair. Maybe Alex Morgan, but I don’t see her as a full 9, nor do I think she was as singularly focused on goal scoring - or as lethal as either Sinclair or White ratio to chances-wise. 🦉🫶
@TurnerTalkFooty Yeah I think Sinclair is pretty much the only other. Maybe Abby Wambach? Alex Popp too - although slightly younger than Ellen.
@LondonHolly1865 I’m not a big Popp fan, but Wambach is a great shout! 🙌 #knowledge
@TurnerTalkFooty Not a fan of Popp either! 😆 Her being out of the final was the greatest gift the universe could give to England! 🤣
