We See You

by Carol Ann Duffy

‘We See You’ is a powerful declaration of support for women’s football and a celebration of the people who make the game great.

Carol Ann Duffy's poem is among the best and most memorable depictions of England's national sport ever produced. She is able to capture both the excitement of the game itself and the trepidation of the crowd even as the poem contemplates wider societal changes at the same time. This is a brilliant portrayal of the sport because it understand how sport impacts people's lives everyday.

in hindsight’s extra time; linked to our female, family chain

of passing forwards… to Mary Phillip, first black Captain
