Career

society

At the age of eleven, Carney joined the Birmingham City LFC club and made his first team debut three years later. In 2002 Carney made it to the FA Women's Premier League National Division with Birmingham . For the 2006/07 season Carney moved to Arsenal LFC . With Arsenal she won the quadruple of championship, cup , league cup , and European cup victory in 2007 . A year later, Carney won the championship and the cup again.

In 2009 she moved to the Chicago Red Stars and took sixth place with the club in the WPS in 2009 and 2010 . After no investor could be found for the WPS 2011 and the Red Stars therefore did not participate in the new season, they returned to England.

From 2011 to 2015 she played again for Birmingham City LFC in the Women's Super League . With Birmingham she won the FA Women's Cup 2012, where she scored the goal to 2-2 in the final against the Chelsea Ladies in the 112th minute and contributed to the 3-2 victory on penalties . She was also runner-up with Birmingham in 2011 and 2012 and took part in the UEFA Women's Champions League in 2012/13 and 2013/14 . In their first participation they won their home game against the Italian runner-up ASD CF Bardolino 2-0 in the round of 32 , but then lost the second leg 3-0 after extra time. Things went better a year later, when in the semifinals against the Swedish champions Tyresö FF after a goalless home game with a 3-0 away defeat the end came.

For the 2016 season, she switched to the Chelsea Ladies , who had won the championship the previous year , but could not defend it - the season ended with the runner-up. They also failed early in the 2016/17 UEFA Women's Champions League : As in the previous year, they lost to last year's finalist VfL Wolfsburg - but this time in the round of 32, with Carney playing in both games.

In 2017 the FA WSL was switched from a summer season to the rhythm of most other European leagues and the 2017 season was held as a "Spring Series" from February to May with eight games per team. The Chelsea Ladies finished first after these eight games thanks to the better goal difference over Manchester City. Carney was one of the third top scorer with several other players with four goals each she scored in seven games, with half of the top ten goalscorers coming from her team.

The new season started in September 2017 and ended with the championship for Chelsea in May 2018. Carney was only used in eight out of 18 games in which she scored three goals. Nor could she contribute anything to the cup win, through which Chelsea achieved the double for the first time . At the same time, the ladies took part in the 2017/18 UEFA Women's Champions League . They eliminated the German runner-up FC Bayern Munich in the round of 16 with a 1-0 home game and a 1-2 away defeat due to the away goals rule . This was followed by two wins in the round of 16 against the Swedish runner-up FC Rosengård and two wins in the quarter-finals against the French runner-up HSC Montpellier . In the semifinals it was the last stop with two defeats against the Wolfsburg team. But Carney only came in three games to a total of 41 minutes.

The 2018/19 season went better for them. In the league she was used in 70% of the games, in the UEFA Women's Champions League 2018/19 she made eight appearances and reached the semi-finals there, where she scored only one goal too few against defending champions Olympique Lyon . However, they only finished third in the league and thus missed qualification for the 2019/20 UEFA Women's Champions League .

National team

On February 17, 2005 Carney made his debut in a game against Italy in the English national team and scored an instant goal. She took part in the European Championships in 2005 and 2009 and in the World Cup in 2007. In her first 62 internationals she scored 11 goals, u. a. in the 2009 European Championship final against Germany, the connection goal to the interim 1: 2. She was also nominated for the 2011 World Cup . In the first game , she gave in the corner that led to 1-0 by Fara Williams (final score 1: 1). Against New Zealand she was only substituted on in the second half. In the other games she was back in the starting line-up, but then lost to France on penalties in the quarter-finals , converting the second penalty for England.

In 2012 she was part of Team GB , which participated in the Olympic Games in London . She was used in all four games, but was eliminated in the quarterfinals against Canada.

Carney was in the English squad for the EM 2013 in Sweden and was used in the three games.

On June 14, 2014 she made her 100th international match in a 3-0 win in the World Cup qualifier against Belarus , followed by her 100th appearance for England on November 23, 2014 in a friendly against Germany .

Carney was also on the English squad for the 2015 World Cup and was featured in six games, scoring two goals. She was also part of the team that won the game for third place against Germany for the first time , which means that England, 49 years after winning the world championship title by the men in 1966, was among the top three teams at a World Cup for the first time.

In the subsequent qualification for the 2017 European Championship , she was used in six games and scored six goals. She was the best English goalscorer along with Danielle Carter . Since the English only lost one point in the 1-1 draw against Belgium , they easily qualified as group winners for the European Championship.

There she was used in three games, only in the third group game, when some regular players were spared, she was not used. The final was missed by the 3-0 semi-final defeat against the hosts .

In qualifying for the 2019 World Cup , she only played a 29-minute mission in the first game on September 19, 2017 in a 6-0 win against Russia . The English only gave up a point in the goalless draw in their home game against Wales and qualified early for the World Cup.

It was only used again on November 8, 2018 in a 3-0 win against Austria , but played 90 minutes there.

In March 2019 she won the SheBelieves Cup for the first time and was used in two games. This was followed by an appearance in the 1-0 home defeat against Canada and on May 8th she was nominated as the player with the most international matches and goals in the squad for the World Cup , which was the fourth time she took part in a World Cup. At the World Cup, she had three short appearances in the three group games. One day before the game for third place, she announced her retirement from the national team. In the game for third place, which was lost 1: 2 against Sweden, she came to another use in the final quarter of an hour.

With 144 games, she had played the second most international matches for England when she retired and was eighth on the list of goalscorers with 32 goals.
