Oshoala teases England after Euro final defeat

Date:

Super Falcons striker Asisat Oshoala stirred controversy with remarks aimed at England following their 2-1 loss to Spain in the UEFA Euro Championships final on Sunday night.

England’s dreams of matching Sir Alf Ramsey’s historic 1966 World Cup victory came to a familiar end, echoing their defeat in the men’s continental final against Italy three years ago.

Trailing 1-0 late in the game, England equalized through substitute Cole Palmer’s 73rd-minute goal, cancelling out Nico Williams’s early second-half strike.

Despite hopes of ending their 58-year trophy drought, Gareth Southgate’s team conceded a decisive goal in the 86th minute when Mikel Oyarzabal sealed Spain’s fourth European Championship title.

Following Spain’s victory, Oshoala, known for her ties to FC Barcelona, took to social media to mock England, posting, “It’s not coming home,” a jab at the English anthem “It’s Coming Home.”

The anthem, originally created by comedians Frank Skinner, David Baddiel, and the Lightning Seeds for Euro ’96, has become synonymous with English football’s aspirations to reclaim major tournament glory.

Southgate’s side fell short in their bid for a European title once again, despite a spirited late effort against the resilient Spanish team.
