    They're still backtracking on their headline that thousands were going to die in the 2 day slightly higher than normal temperatures in the middle of summer <doh>

    13% of UK women are BAME.

    15% of the WSL are BAME

    13% of England Womens team are BAME.

    13.8% of Men in England are BAME.

    40% of the England team are BAME.

    By the quota standards, BAME are over represented in the England team and the womens game.

    Presumably they're working on getting more white folk involved?

    Euro 2022: Young players talk about diversity in England's squad


    Euro 2022 has had us hooked to our screens and cheering the Lionesses on to victory.

    But for some young players the lack of diversity in the England squad is a problem to be worked on, and one the team has recognised.

    It's a stark contrast to the men’s team - with a squad made up of more than 40% non-white players.

    Players from Football Beyond Borders, an education and social charity, spoke to BBC Newsbeat about representation at the top level of the women's game.

    If the men's World Cup was on in the summer this year like it should have been then nobody would have even known Emgland women won last night.

    Why is that even a topic? Team selection could become very difficult when there must be at least one representative of all the various categories. Having got one of each it will just be a case of deciding what position they play. We won't even be able to call them men's and women's teams.
