Madison Hammond, Angel City midfielder: Someone please let me know when you find me. Madison Hammond, number 99 from Angel City. Because it’s not me!
Janine Becky, Manchester City forward: ‘Found my long lost twin. Diverse, obviously”
Sidney Leroux, Angel City forward: “I know you expect the women to be grateful for giving us some publicity. But please stop wasting our time. Some of us are bald”
