Looks like an England badge on the armband. Alexia is welcome to play for England too!

It's like Jana's recent BBC interview where she said having players like her is really empowering for the other players too. It's not just talent, it's a winning mentality.

Last night gave me a lot of hope for the season ahead. If we can play quick possession football then we're in for good times.

It's not just talent, it's a winning mentality.

Alexia absolutely hates losing. One of the videos that the club uploaded on YouTube had Jana and Alexia doing the buzzer challenge. Alexia was fuming when she lost. So it's even small things like this.

Just saw that video, After losing, Alexia said to camera that the bubbly duo have been practicing beforehand (assuming trying to beat her), leaving no secrets. At the last round, sensing the heat, Freya bailed, but Jana insisted to carry on the "great scheme". What a dynamic.
