Roar like a Lioness! England squad share the words that inspire them as they defend Euros title

England football fans are ready to roar for the Lionesses as they defend theirUEFA Euro title this summer in Switzerland.

But the team are not just about serving up goal after goal - they’re also about delivering powerful mantras that fuel the squad’s spirit when it counts the most. Want to talk like a Lioness? Then here’s how you can learn the lingo...

Goalkeeper Hannah Hampton personal mantra “full send” is the unapologetic rallying cry which pushes her to the limit when the pressure is on. Striker Alessia Russo’s “cool, calm, collected” is the straightforward reminder that everything is under control.

While defender Lucy Parker’s quietly powerful “you’ve got this” helps her stay calm during even the toughest moments. To help spread the Lionesses’ words of wisdom, official England partner Extra has brought the players’ words to key locations in their hometowns ahead of the tournament on the continent.

In Hampton’s old stomping ground of Studley, Warwickshire you can step into the Full Send Salon and get a Lioness-themed gel polish that can survive even the most nail-biting moments of the tournament. As a reminder to take a moment for yourself, there are 100 free treatments available when you book with Studley’s Synergy Hair & Beauty using the code FULLSEND25.

Parker’s “you’ve got this” covers the streets of her hometown, Cambridge, including St John’s, Trinity and Pembroke Colleges, supporting students as they hit their next deadline or brave a late-night revision sprint.

Finally, Russo’s “cool, calm, collected” now adorns a local bus in Maidstone, offering a moment of grounded clarity to weary commuters navigating busy commutes. It’s the ultimate pre-9am pep talk, serving a crisp, no-fuss reminder that even small shifts in mindset can go a long way.

Lucy Sherlock, Senior Brand Manager at Extra says: “The Lionesses know better than most how to reset when they need to rise to the occasion. We hope that by bringing their mantras back to where it all began, we can inspire everyone, fans and the public alike, to find their own Lioness Lingo for those everyday moments where the right words make all the difference.”

The Lionesses' lingo will be on public display from July 1 to 31, celebrating the team’s journey through the tournament and encouraging moments of everyday calm.

Can the team go on and win the tournament yet again though? England need to adapt to being the hunted rather than the hunters after their transformation under Sarina Wiegman, according to former Lionesses goalkeeper Rachel Brown-Finnis.

Wiegman's team go their Euro 2025 opener against France on Saturday as one of the pre-tournament favourites. The manager famously took England all the way in 2022, winning the Euros on home soil.

One year later at the World Cup only the might of Spain prevented them from adding another major trophy to their cabinet. "I think there's been a period of time where England have been the hunters, during my era, to have switched that to being the hunted," BBC commentator Brown-Finnis told Mirror Football. "Based on rankings, based on tournament predictions, England - probably bar Spain - go into it as favourites."
