Oshoala trolls England after Euro 2024 loss

Aside from being a professional footballer, Oshoala is an active football fan on social media, and she constantly shares his opinions and banters on games of his choice.

As seen in a post shared on her official X account, she aimed a dig at England after their final loss to Spain last night, by negating a famous English phrase.

“It’s not coming home,” she wrote.

The six-time African Women Footballer of the Year is inclined towards Spain, having spent five years in the country with Barcelona Femeni, before joining Bay FC in the NWSL this year.

Football was invented in England, and their fans famously chant that it's coming home each time they go close to winning a trophy, which means that it's going back to where it all began.

This has not been the case many times, as the last time the English won a major trophy was the 1966 FIFA World Cup, which they hosted, but they have fallen short more often on the big stage.
