talkSPORT<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Aluko reignited the debate over the weekend by commenting on the punditry choices for the Women\u2019s Euros final last summer.<\/p>\n<p>She questioned why she and Fara Williams \u2013 who earned a record 172 caps for England \u2013 were not chosen by either the BBC or ITV.<\/p>\n<p>This also saw Aluko reignite her feud with Ian Wright, as she highlighted how he and ex-Manchester City defender Nedum Onuoha took two of the six available pundit spots.<\/p>\n<p>It came almost a year after she had accused Wright of \u2018blocking opportunities\u2019 for female broadcasters in April 2025.<\/p>\n<p>Aluko\u2019s comments sparked huge debate, with former talkSPORT host Laura Woods <a href=\"https:\/\/talksport.com\/football\/3969219\/laura-woods-eni-aluko-ian-wright-england\/\">warning against gatekeeping the sport<\/a> and claiming \u2018caps don\u2019t win automatic

female faces in punditry, but dismissed suggestions of entitlement.<\/p>\n<p>She began: \u201cI think it\u2019s more about clarifying and saying look, I think 270 caps represent experience and the insight you can bring to the game.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat I wasn\u2019t saying is that 270 caps justifies an instant pick, of course, you need a skillset to be a pundit.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe point I was trying to make is, that in women\u2019s football, my opinion is that where there\u2019s a choice, I want to see that level of experience on the main panel for women\u2019s football.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_3969352\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/ywAAAAAAQABAAACAUwAOw==\" fifu-lazy=\"1\"
