Lucy Bronze: England and Barcelona’s legendary right-back in profile
Already one of the true legends of the women’s game, Lucy Bronze has been a regular for England since making her debut in 2013 and has played all across the park, although she is best known as a marauding right-back, overlapping Beth Mead in the Euros to often devastating effect. Born into a bilingual Portuguese-English family in Berwick-upon-Tweed, Bronze, now 31, played for Alnwick Town until she turned 12, when FA regulations prevented her from continuing to play for the boys’ team, a matter about which her coach felt so strongly he launched an unsuccessful discrimination case to challenge the rules, reluctant to lose his best player to an outmoded technicality. A multi-talented athlete in secondary school, she played at youth level for Blyth Town and Sunderland, graduating to the latter’s senior squad and winning the FA Women’s Premier League Northern Division in 2008/09 before relocating to the US to enrol at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill to play for the Tar Heels, a path future LionessesAlessia Russo and Lotte Wubben-Moy would later follow. Get all the latest Women’s World Cup odds here Returning to England to complete her sports science degree at Leeds Metropolitan University, playing for the institution’s women’s team while supporting herself by working at Domino’s Pizza, Bronze then commenced her senior career in earnest with Everton in 2010. After two years, she transferred to city rivals Liverpool where she won back-to-back Women’s Super Leagues, before moving to Manchester City in 2014, where she again won the title and the FA Cup in 2016. She then moved on to France to play for all-conquering Lyon in 2017, winning the Champions League, three successive league titles, two domestic cups and finishing second in the running for the 2019 Ballon d’Or before returning to City for further cup success. A final switch to Barcelona alongside long-time teammate Keira Walsh followed last summer and the Catalans duly won the title and Champions League in Bronze’s debut season. A hugely popular and respected member of the England set up with 105 caps to her name and counting, and an Instagram account for her West Highland Terrier Narla, it could all have been so different for Lucy Bronze. As the daughter of a maths teacher, she had reportedly planned to become an accountant had football not worked out.

Biden teases ‘very quiet’ Lauren Boebert for boasting to voters about Democratic measures she voted against
Republican Rep Lauren Boebert, along with every Republican in Congress, voted against the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022. But the Act led to the construction of the CS Wind plant – and in turn job creation – in her home state of Colorado. And Ms Boebert has not shied away from taking credit for initiatives she voted against as President Joe Biden was quick to remind her in a speech touting his administration’s clean energy initiatives in New Mexico. “Coincidentally, CS Wind is Congresswoman Lauren Boebert — y’know, the very quiet Republican lady? — it’s in her district,” he said to laughter from the audience. “Who, along with every other Republican, voted against this bill.” In his speech, Mr Biden was talking about how clean energy advances — like the construction of the CS Wind plant — has led to job creation. Ms Boebert, Mr Biden said, “along with every other Republican, voted against this bill, and it’s making all this possible. And she railed against its passage. But, that’s OK, she’s welcoming it now.” “That’s OK,” he continued. “When I ran for office, I promised to be president for all Americans. Whether you live in a blue state or a red state, I’m going to keep my promise.” This is not the first time Mr Biden has teased Republicans for taking credit for measures they voted against. In the same speech, he poked fun at Republican Sen Tommy Tuberville of Alabama who publicly celebrated federal spending on broadband internet access, even though he voted against it. “I thought, wait a minute, didn’t he rail against that for a long, long time?” Mr Biden said. “I was inclined to go down and help him celebrate, but I decided not to.” And earlier in the year, during a speech in South Carolina, Mr Biden reminded Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene that she voted against the expansion of a South Korean solar panel production company in Georgia’s 14th Congressional District -- her district. “Since I took office, we’ve seen over 60 domestic manufacturing announcements all across the solar supply chain. One of the biggest is in Dalton, Georgia. You may find it hard to believe, but that’s Marjorie Taylor Greene’s district,” Mr Biden said. “I’ll be there for the groundbreaking.” Read More Lauren Boebert blames her AirPods after she threw away photo of 10-year-old Uvalde victim GOP lawmakers predict imminent ‘fistfight’ between Marjorie Taylor Greene and Lauren Boebert Marjorie Taylor Greene ousted from House Freedom Caucus following fight with Lauren Boebert Biden pitching his economic policies as a key to manufacturing jobs revival Biden announces investments in conservation and climate during Arizona visit Prosecutors seek Jan. 2 trial date for Donald Trump in his 2020 election conspiracy case Utah governor pushes back at critics over welcoming Biden: ‘It’s insane’ Live: Biden delivers remarks to service members exposed to toxic substances
