Mary Earps’ England goalkeeper shirt not available to buy as Nike look to future tournaments
England fans are unlikely to force a U-turn on the decision not to sell replica Mary Earps goalkeeper shirts with Nike saying they will only look into the matter ‘for future tournaments’.
The Lionesses fell to a 1-0 defeat against Spain in Sunday’s World Cup final in Sydney, with Olga Carmona’s excellent first-half strike deciding the contest – though in truth La Roja dominated the contest far more than the scoreline suggested.
