1 day agoHow WSL 2 side Charlton are defying odds in league and cup
Charlton Athletic's potential promotion would be a significant achievement for manager Karen Hills, given their low budget and competitive league.
"It's more positive, but, of course, it's been a few months since then. We've tried to put it behind us and focus on this match we have here, and hopefully another one in Stockholm in a few days."
Bodø/Glimt were already admired for their ascent through the Norwegian system-returning to the top flight only in 2017 and winning four league titles in the years that followed. But their leap into the Champions League spotlight this season has been extraordinary. As tournament debutants, they arrived with curiosity surrounding them-but they quickly replaced intrigue with astonishment.
To be a Barbie role model is so special. To have my very own one-of-a-kind doll - I'm very proud of that. You don't really believe these things could happen. You always look for the trophies and the wins on the pitch but, off the pitch, this is a massive win.
It is very exciting for us to be playing for the first time at Everton's new stadium. We have always said that taking this team around the country is so important and we're really looking forward to playing in front of fans in the north-west. The city of Liverpool has a rich football history with many connections to the Lionesses over the years, so it will be a very special evening.
Well look, if Tottenham are out of Europe and struggling again, they're going to find themselves more more susceptible to offers for their best players and Bergvall definitely comes in to that reckoning. He's a highly-regarded player and he's done well since he arrived at Tottenham. He's highly regarded at Tottenham, he's under a long contract until 2031 and there was no surprise that they rebuffed those inquiries from Chelsea and Villa in the January window.
"I always came into the season wanting to play good for the Leafs and for my teammates here and give me a chance to be on that team," Ekman-Larsson said to reporters ahead of the morning skate on Tuesday. "So I'm lying if I'm saying I haven't really thought about it, to be honest with you. But very proud of myself of being named and getting a chance. With that being said, my teammates and the organization have been able to help me out."
At just 18, Smilla Holmberg found herself at the European Championships, scoring against Germany and then standing over a decisive penalty with Sweden's tournament on the line. She missed, and Sweden were out. For many young players, that would linger. Instead, the Hammarby academy graduate continued shining at club level - something that ultimately earned her a move to Arsenal in January 2026.
I am really honoured and excited to start my journey here. I am looking forward meeting the fans and playing at King Power Stadium,"Jansson said. "I will always bring my everything to the club I'm playing for, so the supporters can expect that from me. "The WSL is a great league and where all players want to play. I am happy to be here and happy to be here with Leicester.
"We've felt so much recognition, that was so nice. You can really feel the appreciation. "It's incredible. When I came here in 2021 I never expected it to be like this. It's been so special. To be so accepted here and the journey we've been on, to be an honourary dame, is hard to describe what an honour it is."
