Yea. What an amazing player we have here

I love the fact she's purely white. I guess she wanted something exotic. I'm sure she will have a place in English team if she decided to play for them. I hope she's treated well and not made to regret this. It will be funny playing in WAFCON. Though SA has been giving us this for a long time.


Who noticed S.A male team hardly has white unlike before that they had at least 40% white in their national team.
