Orange lionesses have no chance against France

Summer Writing Challenge 2022 by @Creative Bumblebea

What the Orange Lionesses showed in the quarter final of WEURO2022 is literally impossible to describe with a pen. It was just nothing at all. The former star player — and winner of the Orange Trophy 2021 — Lieke Martens did not give home. Or maybe even at home, because she was no longer there. Her foot was sidelined with Swiss precision. So shirt number 11 stuck idly on the clothes hanger for this quarterfinal.

The players who were in the field — such as Daniëlle van de Donk and Kerstin Casparij — couldn't break pots. It was all almost too sad to look at; not worthy of defending champion. Just that look at this picture Then you make it no secret that you don't believe in it at all.

Isabella's Vision

Joaz Christiano would say: this team is ripe for demolition. There is no more honor to be gained from this. Our special correspondent for this tournament, Isabella Donkerenbos, is generally a little more positive. Her enthusiasm actually always wins over stress, tension and disappointment. Still, Isabella?


Well I don't want to hide the fact that there is indeed little positive to report about the orange lionesses this European Championships. That's why I quickly went to the market to buy other clothes. Not orange, but pink for me.
