50% Of England Fans Would Swap Millie Bright For Harry Maguire In The England Men’s Team
The most popular response to our proposition on Reddit involved Maguire, with 50% of respondents saying they would rather have England captain Millie Bright in the men’s team.
Maguire isn’t the only player to feel the wrath of the Three Lions subreddit – 16% of fans want Barcelona midfielder Kiera Walsh to replace Kalvin Phillips. Only two years ago the out-of-favour Manchester City man was named England’s Player of the Year following their run to the Euros final, but he is the forgotten man among City’s gleaming treble-winning squad.
As many as 10% of fans want the Lionesses’ emerging gem Lauren James to replace Raheem Sterling in the squad and join her brother Reece James in the starting lineup.
Commentary
A representative for Betting Sites commented on the data; “Once pegged as an efficient ball-playing defender, Maguire graceless, inelegant performances over the past few seasons have left him on the cusp of leaving the club he has captained for three-and-a-half years.
“This is enough for half of the England fanbase on Reddit to suggest that Lionesses captain Millie Bright would do a better job, despite the perceived gap in quality and the disparity in women’s and men’s pay at the highest level.
“The immunity to criticism has worn off for the heroes of that oh-so-nearly Euros campaign in 2021, with Kalvin Phillips and Raheem Sterling also being thrown into the conversation.
“With England women’s enjoying far more success than their male counterparts, there’s no reason why they couldn’t do a better job.”
