However, the duo explained that fans are unable to buy England goalkeeper Mary Earps’ replica shirt, despite her being named the best FIFA Women’s Goalkeeper of the year.

The footballer claimed it was “hurtful” and “damaging” for girls who want to follow in her footsteps.

Discussing the debate was Stoke City Women goalkeeper Liz Hobson and Kate Dale, the Campaign Director of the This Girl Can initiative.

Liz explained she felt this ties in with women’s sport not getting the same exposure as men’s – especially in football.

The footballer went on to say that anyone can buy the Stoke City Women’s goalkeeper kit, which led to Naga questioning why Mary Earps’ shirt is not able to purchase.

“I don’t understand why, if you can do it for Stoke City, and please don’t take this the wrong way, then you can’t do it for England,” the presenter said.

Issuing a stern warning to his co-star, Roger responded: “Be careful” as he pointed his finger in Naga’s direction and laughed.

“No no no, I know it’s your team,” she replied, adding: “But why can you not do it for England? That’s the epitome of those teams!”

Liz agreed with Naga’s confusion, admitting she felt it was “ridiculous” that no one can buy and England shirt.

Those in the studio then went on to predict the score for England’s first game again Haiti, with Kate believing it will be an “easy win” for the Lionesses.
