Millie Bright, captain and defender of England, returned to the World Cup final lost to Spain (0-1) this Sunday in Sydney: “We are heartbroken. We gave it our all, but unfortunately we weren’t up to it today. The girls are amazing. We had a lot of criticism at the start of the tournament, some lost faith in us, but we never stopped believing in ourselves. We were fully determined, but sometimes football smiles on you, sometimes it hurts you. In a few weeks we will enjoy this day and the second place, but it is difficult to accept because we are winners, we want to win.
And the captain continues by analyzing more specifically the course of this final dominated by the Spanish: “In the first half, we were not at our best level. In the second half, we bounced back, we showed fighting spirit and character and we created chances. We hit the bar, but we just didn’t have the last word today and they obviously put theirs in the back of the net.
