Overview
- In the Guardian-serialised book, Earps writes that bringing Hampton back in 2023 and starting her in a 2024 qualifier "rewarded bad behaviour" she says had disrupted Euro 2022 preparations.
- Earps says Wiegman later told her Hampton was "a little bit ahead," prompting Earps to retire after briefly reconsidering when the coach said she had not watched a recent PSG match.
- Hampton became England’s first choice, played every minute at Euro 2025, saved two penalties in the final and later received the inaugural women’s Yashin Trophy.
- Chelsea head coach Sonia Bompastor condemned Earps’s remarks as disrespectful and publicly backed Hampton’s professionalism as well as Wiegman’s leadership.
- Earps posted that she never meant to hurt anyone, argued excerpts are being taken out of context, and noted that All In is published on 6 November following its Guardian serialisation.
