    England's Mary Earps was named the best goalkeeper at the 2023 Women's World Cup and claimed the Golden Glove award at the tournament.

    She made several stunning saves, including from Jenni Hermoso's penalty, to keep her side in contention against Spain in the World Cup final.

    But will she be on tomorrow's shortlist?

    Hey BBC I would so include Mary “Queen of Stops” Earps for SPOTY this year - she saved the lionesses at the World Cup and has just become the first goalie to get women’s footballer of the year! She also campaigned to have her shirt made... There are so many other awards that are recognising Mary and I think it’s time SPOTY do too!

  6. England reach World Cup finalpublished at 12:20 Greenwich Mean Time 11 December 2023

    One year on from their European Championship triumph, England reached the Fifa Women's World Cup final.

    The Lionesses were aiming to become the first England senior side since the men's team in 1966 to win the World Cup.

    But Sarina Wiegman's side suffered heartbreak against Spain, losing 1-0 following Spain captain Olga Carmona's first-half goal.

    England's Mead is crowned Sports Personality of the Year 2022

    Last year, you crowned England and Arsenal forward Beth Mead as the 2022 BBC Sports Personality of the Year.

    Mead was named the player of the tournament and top scorer at Euro 2022, where the Lionesses defeated Germany in the final at Wembley to win England's first major women's football trophy.

    The 27-year-old became the first women's footballer to win the award.

    England cricket's Test captain Ben Stokes was second, with Winter Olympics curling champion Eve Muirhead third.

    "I'm incredibly honoured to win this award," said Mead. "I wouldn't have done it without the girls. The team have backed me. I've won this accolade, I've scored a few goals but I wouldn't have done it without them.

    "This is for women's sport and women's sport heading in the right direction. Let's keep pushing girls, let's keep doing the right thing."
