Competitive streaks are a common trait among the England group. Off the training pitch, the squad's favorite pastime involves battling over properties and money in Monopoly Deal, while Grace Clinton and Maya Le Tissier often engage in arguments during intense games of Spikeball—a fast-paced, handball-style game where players score by bouncing a ball off a small, trampoline-like net.

Among the most competitive are midfielder Ella Toone and England assistant coach Arjan Veurink. As midfielder Georgia Stanway revealed, "Whatever the game is, he has to be involved, and he has to be winning."

During her five-month rehabilitation from a January knee injury, Stanway stayed calm by tattooing herself and others. However, that's not possible in Switzerland, so she's returned to her original interests to keep her mind engaged. "Unfortunately, I can't tattoo here, so I'm finding alternatives to keep my mind busy. I've enjoyed watching the other games in the tournament."
