Showing the world we are queens of fair play, during the England and Nigeria game England goalkeeper Mary Earps seemed to fake an injury to give her team a break.

[Live during the game]

BBC’s Robyn Cowen, “Mary Earps is down…. Whether it’s a tactical time out….”

BBC’s Rachel Brown-Finnis, “I wouldn’t dare accuse her of that…. Not the worst time for England to take a break and to take some fluid on and some instructions on as well.”

Head of Medical, “Mary, Mary, why ya buggin’?”

Mary Earps, “Kids can’t buy an official sponsor shirt with my name on it.”

Rachel Daly, “What now boss? These lasses are making us look like the fucking men’s team.”

Sarina Wiegman, “Firstly, do not swear. Secondly, I am working on a plan G and H. However, whatever you do, do not stomp on a Nigerian player.”
