Houghton to lead England at Women's World Cup - squad revealed in unique fashion

It's a MASSIVE summer of Women's sport.

To get you in the mood, have a watch of this.

Harry and Meghan's royal baby announcement might have just been trumped.

From princes to popstars, football legends to film icons, that Lionesses squad announcement was such a buzz.

Prince William, Greg James, Dan Walker, Nicole Holliday, James Corden, Alex Scott, Emma Watson, Anne-Marie, Olly Murs, Monki, Ellie Goulding, David Beckham, Jordan Pickford, Jamal Edwards, Nick Bright, Rachel Yankey, Katarina Johnson-Thompson, Raheem Sterling, Ian Wright, Kelly Smith, Alan Shearer, Clara Amfo and Chelcee Grimes all did the honours to reveal the 23 England players heading to France this summer.

Watch those epic reveals back here.

Spare a thought for those who missed out on a place in the Lionesses squad.

Back in March, Izzy Christiansen feared her World Cup dreams were over.

She has failed to recover from an ankle injury in time to be selected, while 168-cap veteran Fara Williams also misses out on the squad.

What are your thoughts on that then?

Any big surprises? Did anyone miss out that you thought deserved a place on the plane? What are the Lionesses chances - is football FINALLY coming home?

Here we go.

The 23 players in Phil Neville's England squad on the plane to this summer's World Cup in France.

After Liverpool's big night last night, it seems fitting to end on this one.

Our girl Chelcee Grimes confirms Jodie Taylor is the 23rd and final Lioness on the plane to France.

That leaves just ONE space up for grabs.

*gulp*

The third and final goalkeepeer is...

Mary Earps!

There are only two places left in Phil Neville's Lionesses World Cup squad. He's been speaking of the difficulty in choosing his 23.

“I spoke to the players yesterday. It was one of my toughest days in football and I felt for those players. I missed out on three World Cup squads.

“I’ve used 36 players in the last 16 months and only 23 can be on the plane. I’m absolutely certain I’ve picked the right 23.”

From one England legend to another.

Kelly Smith is buzzing for Beth Mead.

"It's a fantastic achievement for you. You've been in fantastic form for Arsenal this season, and what about that peach of a goal against Brighton!

"Take that form into the tournament, it's a once in a lifetime opportunity. Go and express yourself, enjoy it and lap it all up like a sponge.

"Good things are happening now in women's football. people are standing up and paying attention and you're a part of it so go and shine."
