00:00 Once it comes to the World Cup and the actual finals, I feel like we'll be in a great place
00:04 and then they'll be full guns blazing already for the tournament.
00:08 Obviously we're at a World Cup, every game at a World Cup is going to be difficult and
00:25 most importantly we've got the three points and that's all that matters right now.
00:28 She's a great girl on and off the pitch so it was easy to connect with her but yeah it
00:42 was nice to see her shine on the big stage and for everyone else to see what we see every
00:47 day.
00:48 There's a lot of outside noise about goals scored but it's not a problem within, you
00:53 grow into the tournament, we don't want to be at our absolute best the first two games.
00:58 For me a win's a win, whether it's 1-0 or 6-1, we knew we had the quality and that's
01:12 why we train so hard every day and I think you could see that all come out on to the
01:17 pitch the other night.
01:18 Obviously she's disappointed with what happened on the day and it was a split second emotional
01:36 moment that happened but we've got round her.
01:39 We can talk about resilience and mentality in all these ways but that's tournament football.
01:44 These are the games we want to be playing and I've played in a semi-final before so
01:53 again I'm just really looking forward to this one and just trying to make the fans back
01:57 home really proud of us I think.
01:58 Amazing!
01:59 It was incredible, it was a really tight game, we thought it would be, we didn't want to
02:12 play Australia but we're so pleased that we won.
02:16 It's coming home, it's coming, football's coming home!
