Women's football is about to blow up. Again. With England still celebrating the second consecutive European crown, the WSL starting the new season with competitive changes, and WAFCON making more headlines than ever – the stage is set for the women's game to undergo another big boom.

These were not Pride players who were getting minutes, so it can only help them, but it kind of feels like we'll never see some of them in Pride purple again.
