💨 Abstract

Former England goalkeeper Mary Earps faced criticism and felt villainized after announcing her retirement from international soccer ahead of the European Championship, despite being hailed as a national hero for her past achievements. Earps mentioned that the scrutiny, directed at both her and her loved ones, was difficult and painful. She chose to retire to pave the way for younger players. Earps is known for winning the BBC Sports Personality of the Year award and the golden glove for her exceptional goalkeeping skills.
