00:00 It was heartbreak at the time that we got so far and we couldn't get over the line,
00:04 but looking back now, so much pride.
00:07 We've done everyone proud and we should be so proud of ourselves for how far we've come
00:11 and how much we've grown the women's game.
00:13 I think it will change a lot of things.
00:15 I think the main thing for us is inspiring the next generation of young girls and boys
00:19 to get started in their football journey.
00:22 I think another thing is equal access and equal opportunities
00:25 for those young people getting involved.
00:29 I think getting to a World Cup final is unbelievable.
00:33 We've had so many people watching, so many people supporting
00:36 and hopefully we can continue that into the WSL and into our own clubs
00:42 and get people watching.
00:44 He shouldn't be in the job anymore, I think for the mistake that he's made.
00:48 Now something like that has overshadowed how well the Spanish national team have done.
00:52 They've just won a World Cup and yet all that's been spoken about is that,
00:56 which is a shame and yeah the right things should definitely be done.
