Once a lioness Always a lioness Rach your a absolute legend Go show us what you can do for club and spend valuable time with your family

I'm literally crying Rachel was amazing at england and her club

Sobbing. Thank you Rachel for all you contributed to the Lionesses ❤

Goodbye rach, youve been a legend and will never be forgotten. I can say i watched you play live and was a dream come true

daly you were outstanding, my heart skipped a beat when i heard that you were leaving ❤❤😢

I’m in tears this is so sad. I’ve always loved Rach as a player and as a person. To hear she is retiring just makes me so sad. I remember when I was really young I saw you as a player and you started up my love for football. Once a lioness, always a lioness. Love you Rach ❤

The news absolutely broke my heart, been crying the whole day... Thank you for everything, Rach! You're a legend and I will really really miss you ❤

Noooo I’m crying your soo underrated for what you did. ❤ You leave the lionesses in a greater place.

What a Lioness absolute legend ❤️

so so proud of you rachel, you represented england in the best way. your an absolutely amazing player what an amazing career you’ve had. You’ll be so missed❤❤

Thank you Rachel for the memories especially the last few years. You are a national treasure. Wonderful role model, European Champion, Copa Finalisimma Winner and World Cup Finalist. She was a master at the Total Football style at RB, LB, LWB and ST. At 32 she’s focusing more on family, so totally understandable for her to step away from the International scene and focus on her club career. She’s lit up the WSL since she’s come back from the States and can’t wait to watch her continue her journey with Villa and after.

Love you rach you will be missed still crying 😢❤❤❤❤

We will miss her so much❤

One of my favourite players and so underused with the Lionesses.

rachel no this made me ball so much❤ once a lioness always a lioness can’t wait to see you and millie together again❤

if i cry anymore i will dehydrate myself, i'm absolutely heart broken and gutted, you made me fall in love with football and made me fall in love with england, you had an amazing career and although i don't want you to leave the team, i know it's what's best for you, from Dash till the end of your career i'll support you always❤

She is and always be my favorite player. I will miss seeing her in the England shirt. Her international career has ended. She will always be remembered and never forgotten as a Lioness player. I wish her all the best moving forward at club and in life. A quality player and person all the same. Thanks for everything Rachel....

Underplayed, underrated, sad day, great wholehearted lioness, thank you Rachel

so proud of our rach an incredible carrer!

All the best for the future Rachel. Lioness legend ❤

For all her achievements and goals, my top memory will always be Rachel performing 'River Deep, Mountain High' at Trafalgar Square after winning the Euros.

we love you Rachel! what a player ❤️

im balling my eyes out again

Once a lioness always a lioness ❤

i’m not crying you are 😢😢😢

Legend. Big fan of yours since the Euros🙌🔥

Thank you Rach for all you’ve done for England. I’m absolutely gutted 😢but so privileged I got to see you play at Wembley. Such a class player - you could play anywhere. Can’t think of another player with that level of versatility For many more successful years… can’t wait for more Daly Brightness! 😘

her talking about millie broke my heart 😭😭

LOVE YOU RACHEL DALY❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

You will be missed, we love you!♥️🦁

it's no surprise to me that she's called it a day on her international career , as she hasn't been a starter in the first 11 consistently since the euros & was used sparingly during the world cup & games recently, even though she's a proven versatile player & a golden boot winner both in the u.s & the wsl last year & as scored consistently in the league ,with villa who are having a indifferent season this year , which would be fair to say , It must be disheartening ,when others get picked over you, who are great players but not as prolific & sitting on the bench & watching from the side lines , would of probably of scored more goals given the chance & played as the striker , the term world class ,gets said alot about players but Rachel daley is one that should be in that conversation , she's showed it at club level & internationally. my favourite england player & plays for my club ,UP THE VILLA , once a lioness always a lioness once a claret & blue villian always a claret & blue villian .

I'm a man, 45, following women's football since 2011 and I've been crying on and off since the news came out yesterday. Call me a softie but the lionesses OG's like Rachel, Lucy Bronze, Steph, etc. Amazing human beings, great players.... and last but not least attractive women😁. Have fun Rachel and be happy. ❤

We will miss Rachel

Rachel is just an incredible individual both on and off the pitch! Always giving 💯 to the game & being able to leave Football so much more futher along then it was when she joined the England squad for the 1st time is absolutely Amazing ❤ Im just so Proud of our gal & im gonna miss watching her play in an England shirt! Im also gonna miss our Daly Dose Of Brightness 🌟🌟 two bright sparks *no pun intended* 🤣🤣 Congratulations to Rachel for such a fantastic International career and all the very best for the future ❤ Once a Lioness, always a Lioness 🦁

We will miss you Rachel Daly. And also what a legend she is and what amazing skills she brought to the lionesses in defence and as a striker.

The media say she's been 'underrated'. Not by the players and the fans, she's given 100% and an inspiration

Man it hurts

This has got me sobbing, we love you Rach 💗

Is it selfish that I just want to live 2022-2023 on a loop, so that we can forever live the Euros

👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 Wow… what an international career. Basically this message is just a thank you! Thank you for inspiring the nation and the world, for putting women’s football on the world map and for creating a legacy that will last a lifetime. You were one of the players what made me fall in love with women’s football and that is something I will forever be grateful for. And thank you to you and Millie- you made me see what a true friendship is and that no matter what, a true best friend will have your back forever!! Cannot wait to see you continue to fly at Aston Villa. You are a legend of the game and of women’s sport. Forever going to go down in history ✨🩷

literally crying so hard, one of my fav players thank you Rachel for everything my idol , once a lioness, always an lioness💓

Rachel had an amazing career in football and is an inspiration for many. So sad to see that is is the end of her career in international football. ❤

We will miss you I've seen lionesses 10 times what a team all those girls have been fantastic sorry you won't be part of the team but you will always be in our hearts 😢❤❤

Going to miss you Rach. 💔 You will always be a legend of the game. Go be amazing! ❤

Thank you Rachel for all you've done for the Lionesses. its been a privilege watching you play for England :)

I will not be able to get over this!! Rach you are such a stellar player. Incredibly talented and versatile with so much left in the tank. I wish you got more minutes and the farewell you deserve. We’ll miss seeing you play for the lionesses. Superstar on and off the pitch ❤️❤️

Thankyou for all you have done for the Lionesses ….such a great player ….do we luv ya …my oh my …river deep, mountain high!!!

So proud of you Rachel, absolute legend ❤

You were a great team player💗❤💗

Rachel Daly what a player I couldn’t describe her in less then 100 words but the main one would be legend because she has been an amazing role model to everyone she plays with or anyone who watches her play what a LIONESSES ❤️❤️❤️(yes I’m crying my eyes out so hard rn)

We will miss you Rach!!! You are truly one of the best ! Long live river deep mountain high as you are truly amazing 🤍❤️🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

You will be missed!

Respect ❤

A legend and a talented player, you will be missed ❤

As a football fan I enjoyed watching her play, such a versatile player and always a threat to score. Players like her are a testament to how much women’s football has evolved, packing stadiums and giving us quality football. Thanks Rachel and best of luck in whatever you pursue.

My favourite memory that I’ve seen is when rach was dancing in a hat, and showing off her cowgirl moves after winning the euros, my heart skipped a beat when I heard that she is retiring from national football, even though she’ll still play for her club, I loved her a lioness, for me, not being a AVFC fan, now I’ll see more. ❤😭

What a legend. An example to every pro football player , she always put the team before herself , gave 100 % everytime whether she played as a starter or from the bench as a striker or out of position. A true English legend. Enjoy the next part of your journey.

Unbelievable player will be missed so much on the international stage. End of an era 🥲

Always loved watching you play even though it was from across the pond Rachel. Much love and Respect!

A true professional Brillant role model also gives 100% gonna miss her in the lionesses setup And i wish her all the best 🎉 in her club career with aston villa🎉🎉 LEGEND RACHEL DALY

Wishing all the best of her career. Thanks for everything.

we will miss you rachel , never ever give up footy u were the most wonderfull lionesses

Sad to hear this news. Thank you for all you have done for England, and promoting the beautiful game. Wishing you all the best in the future. River deep, mountain high! ❤

Outstanding for England lionesses. Gonna be sadly missed!!!

Legend ❤ you are amazing , gorgeous beautiful and what a player ❤

I love you Rachel your so amazing ❤❤❤

The way she plays, I’ve almost always thought of her more as an American player. Same for Lucy Bronze. They both played like the American women played and now it’s caused it even more England players to play similarly.

A great player, surprisingly under appreciated, and underused by England. Best wishes for the future.

rachel you weren’t the only one who cried their eyes out this morning, we’ll miss you

This is so sad🥺We will miss u massively rach❤️❤️❤️❤️

Balla Rachel. Always and forever ❤

need a vid of of the girls saying goodbye to this legend

she is one immense talent, England full back & leagues top scorer is testament to her talent So sad to see her go

Love rach

thanks for what you've done for England,hope all the best.I just can't accept it right now😢❤❤

Sad news, but totally understandable, it was always exciting watching her play in whatever position she was needed,she always gave her all. Thanks Rachel.

Don’t make me sad,don’t make me cry literally bawling my eyes out 😢😢

Wonderful player. Always felt confident when she was on the ball. Bring into the coaching side.

No we will miss you Rachel 😢

Rachel your the best player ever thank you

I’m in devastation hope your journey ahead goes the right way 😭😭😭😭

Thank you so much rach❤️ congratulations on an amazing career🎉we will forever miss you on the pitch wearing an england shirt.

I’m not surprised the way she’s been shafted!! She’s triple the striker Russo is! But who wants to be a bench player when you know your better!!
