Supported by GooglePixel_US The Euros transformed Mary Earps’ career. Her performances during that tournament earned her the 2022 FIFA Best Goalkeeper award. ✍️ charlotteharpur with the latest My Game In My Words with the England goalkeeper:
at Old Trafford, in front of what at the time was a record crowd of 68,871 fans for the competition, it was a cagey affair. Earps needed to be alert.England knew Austria liked to cut in and shoot from the edge of the box, as with this Barbara Dunst shot in the 78th minute. “I can see she’s winding up so I’m trying to get into a good position,” says Earps.“Then I can push off my left into an explosive power drive.
After winning the opener 1-0, Earps had little to do in the remainder of the group stages as England thrashed Norway 8-0 and5-0. But she still has to be ready at any moment. “I like to be in the game as much as anyone, but the more the ball is up the other end of the pitch, that’s the best,” she says.
Communication is one of Earps’ strengths and a huge part of her game. “It’s to make the game easier for my team-mates,” she says. “Whether that be adjusting someone’s position or letting them know there’s someone running off their shoulder. That information can massively help someone track the run earlier, save someone some seconds or prevent goals. All I’m trying to do is help the team. If I can give them some information from my vantage point, then I’ll absolutely do that.
“If I’m wide she’ll probably just toepoke it through. It’s impossible to change your whole body weight in a split second. You see goalkeepers being beaten week in, week out like that. Despite a tense start, England’s Mead finds the opener before Bronze doubles their lead shortly after the break. But Sweden had their chances and when’s Stina Blackstenius sends a looping shot over Earps, she pulls off one of the saves of the tournament.
Both teams were at each other, going in for hard challenges, tensions were high and there was good reason for that because, in the 25th minute, Germany came close to scoring from a goalmouth scramble. “That happens quite a lot,” says Earps. “The defenders are trying to defend as well as the attacker trying to attack. You’re often competing against your own players because, unless it’s a really early call or looping ball, there’s not enough time to tell Millie or Leah to get out of the way.
Magull unleashes a bullet shot which crashes against the post. “That was just carnage,” says Earps. “Carnage, carnage, carnage. The game was so transitional at this point, and then she hits a really good strike. I managed to save it onto the post. It came fast.” Magull strikes again though and makes it 1-1. “There’s nothing you can do to change it,” says Earps when asked about conceding. “Just try and reset. You can’t dwell on it. It’s obviously sometimes difficult, especially if it’s individual and I could have done better or if it’s something that the team have prepared for and we’ve just lacked concentration as a unit. I hate conceding but you’ve got no choice but to fight. The show must go on.
