Sorry but they've been away for 2 months, just lost a world cup final and then been travelling for 24 hours. I'd suggest anyone wanting to meet the players choose a more opportune moment to do so.

Joe Hart lost his job because of that.Actually think some of her antics remind me of Joe Hart, which people didn't really seem to mind but i always found a bit cringe.

Well if that arrogance was continuing behind the scenes, I can see how that combined with some erratic form and a skillset not entirely suited to the new manager's style of play, saw him moved on.
In Earps' case she seems to have a good relationship with the manager, as well as her teammates and is also in the form of her life.

Rightfully awarded the goalkeeper of the tournament even if she is susceptible to the odd lob (no jokes here pleases) as Caroline Weir had found out along with Leicy Santos (the Colombian who scored against her) .Well if that arrogance was continuing behind the scenes, I can see how that combined with some erratic form and a skillset not entirely suited to the new manager's style of play, saw him moved on.

Yeah at 5'8 if she's not got her positioning quite right she can't rely on her height/agility to get her out of trouble in the way other goalies might and it never looks great on replay, but she had a superb tournament again. Generally speaking, quite a few of the goalies had good tournaments. Honorable mentions to Australia's Arnold and also Sweden's Musovic (who surely won't want to remain as second choice at Chelsea moving forward)Rightfully awarded the goalkeeper of the tournament even if she is susceptible to the odd lob (no jokes here pleases) as Caroline Weir had found out along with Leicy Santos (the Colombian who scored against her) .

Had they won they would have sure as hell walked through so sorry, not buying your excuses for them.
It was a poor decision.

Well if they'd won, then they'd have probably been a bit more up for it then wouldnt they. But if people can't tell the different between that scenario and turning up for a selfie with people enduring one of the most crashing lows of their career on top of a flight back from Australia then that's their problem.

You won’t grow the game by turning your back on the very women/girls/fans you are desperately trying to engage.
They where walking into a heroes welcome, not the lions den.

According to Georgia Stanway the players didn't know there were fans waiting for them so seems like an FA decision or just complete lack of communication at the very least.You won’t grow the game by turning your back on the very women/girls/fans you are desperately trying to engage.

Also worth noting that these players are still in a long running pay dispute with the FA which they graciously agreed to park for 2 months in order to focus on the tournament.
