Fran Kirby, England's "mini Messi," announced her retirement from international football an hour after the team's defeat by Spain on Tuesday. Despite numerous injuries and illnesses throughout her career, Kirby picked up 77 caps and won a European Championship with England. Her decision to retire was made after being told by manager Sarina Wiegman she was not going to make the squad for Euro 2025. Kirby, a generational talent and key player in the growth of women's football in England, will be remembered for her ability to turn a game on its head and produce moments of magic.
