As England and the Netherlands gear up for a high-stakes UEFA Women’s Euro 2025 Group D showdown on July 9, all eyes are on the unusual dynamic between two of the game’s top forwards—Beth Mead (England) and her partner Vivianne Miedema (Netherlands). In a candid interview, Mead has revealed that the couple are deliberately avoiding football conversations as the match draws near.
🤐 Switching Off Game Talk
In a conversation with reporters,beth Mead explained that she and Miedema have put their relationship on pause when it comes to football:
“When the draw happened, we both looked at each other and thought, ‘That’s going to be awkward.’ As the day gets closer, we’ve chosen to stop discussing football. Sure, we support each other—just not in that game.”
Both players emphasize professionalism and competitive integrity, affirming they will champion each other off the pitch but won’t openly support one another during the face-off.
⚽ From Club to International Stage
Mead and Miedema’s relationship began at Arsenal, where they played together until Miedema’s move to Manchester City. Their personal partnership continues even as they prepare to confront each other in an intense national team setting. Despite their deep connection—and three years together—they appear fully committed to their respective countries’ success.
