Very disappointed by the headlines that the Lionesses left the airport by a private exit and “let down waiting fans”. They’ve been away for weeks, emotionally drained after losing the final, want to see their family, flights 24 hours. They just want to get back home and recover.
For Luis Rubiales to do this to Jenni Hermoso during the proudest moment of her career, stood next to Spain's royal family, and with the world's media watching, makes me sick. The complete audacity. Reminder that this is the leader of a federation that failed to back its players
FIFA absolutely has a responsibility of stepping in and addressing Luis Rubiales’s behaviour shown at the game earlier today.
The RFEF president has a pending trial over an alleged assault of a woman in 2017.
FIFA, this happened at your event. Step in, protect the players.
In a few hours, England’s women’s national football team—known affectionately as “The Lionesses”—will compete against Spain in the first World Cup Final that England has seen in six decades. No British Royals will be there.
This would never happen to the men's team.

two gay men were stabbed on the street less than a week ago in a homophobic attack
this headline is deplorable and @Telegraph should issue an apology for its insensitivity immediately
“I haven’t watched a single minute of the tournament. In fact I couldn’t even tell you how the England team reached the final”
You see Ross, no one cares about a misogynistic man’s opinion who hasn’t watched the tournament.
First women’s sports article, hopefully the last.
Sorry, let me see if I understand this: England is in its first World Cup Final in nearly six decades, and neither King Charles nor Prince William nor any member of the British Royal Family nor Prime Minister Sunak are attending, and we're supposed to believe this isn't sexism?
