Jill Scott, a former England player, solidified her legacy in women's football by lifting the Euros trophy with the Lionesses in 2022. She is remembered not just for this significant achievement but also for her passionate performance in the final, which included a viral moment of swearing at a German opponent. Reflecting on this incident, Scott expressed regret over her language, emphasizing her desire for fans to remember the match's quality over such moments. Scott also spoke about the changing landscape of football, mentioning how contemporary female players now serve as role models for young athletes.
Scott reflected on her viral moment during the Euros, stating, 'It was probably just a moment of overpassion... hopefully people remember the football rather than what I might have accidentally said.'
In discussing how times have changed, Scott noted her inspiration came from male players due to the lack of females in football, saying, 'It shows how much times have changed... you have got young girls and young boys looking up to players like Lucy Bronze and Alessia Russo.'
