    Nothing more frustrating than reading about footballers making $50k and making it look like they’re on the edge of existence.

      Only recently. She wasnt even first choice in the wsl until midway through 19/20, and wasnt nailed on as england keeper until 2022.

      She was playing second tier in Germany at age 26, and was still at uni 7 years ago.

    Good read, but it says two years ago she was struggling to make ends meet, yet she says she’s into property management but owns two houses?

    I know women’s football earnings are a lot more ordinary than men’s but this sounds a bit like The Guardian acting like someone on 50k has the same financial struggles as someone on minimum wage.
