I may be Welsh but I will be fully backing England's Lionesses when they take on Germany in the Euro 2022 final at a sold-out Wembley.
No, I haven't lost or abandoned my national identity or ceased my support for our inspirational athletes this side of the Severn. Hear me out.
A disclaimer first of all: I was lucky enough to travel to Nice as a football reporter to cover England for two weeks during the 2019 Women's World Cup in France and credit sitting down with a number of Lionesses for interviews as the starting point for a general fondness and interest I have for the team.
