    Yes guys! Fara Williams and Anita Asante are back for another Fara Reacts, diving straight into the biggest news in English women's football: The Lionesses squad for EURO 2025 has just been announced, and we've got unfiltered thoughts! In this episode, we discuss: 🤯 The HUGE Nikita Parris Exclusion: Given her experience and incredible form (12 goals, 5 assists this season!), was this a massive shock? We compare her stats to other forwards in the squad. 🤔 Any Other Squad Surprises? Who else made the cut unexpectedly, or who was surprisingly left out? tactical Evolution: How will Sarina Wiegman set up the team for EURO 2025? Are the Lionesses building towards a more defensive or possession-based identity? 💔 Losing Leaders: With Mary Earps, Fran Kirby retiring, and Millie Bright stepping back for mental health reasons, what does it mean for the squad's personality, leadership, and game-changing ability on the pitch? Fara shares her own experience of dealing with big names being absent from major tournaments. 🗣️ Mental Health in Elite Football: We discuss Millie Bright's brave decision with empathy and what it means for player well-being. 🦁 Squad Resilience: Can this Lionesses group rally, find new leaders, and forge a winning identity before the Euros?
