England captain Millie Bright admits defeat to Spain is “really hard to take” after coming up agonisingly short in the Women’s World Cup final. Spain’s women became world champions for the first time in their history after beating England 1-0 at Stadium Australia in Sydney. Captain Olga Carmona scored what would later prove the winner in the 29th minute and though England goalkeeper Mary Earps saved a second-half penalty from Jenni Hermoso, Sarina Wiegman’s European champions could not find an equaliser. Lauren Hemp came closest to a goal for the Lionesses,...
“First half we weren’t at our best. We showed our fight, showed our character. We had chances today, we hit the bar, and obviously they put their chance in the back of the net.
“The girls are unbelievable. We had a lot of critics at the start of this tournament, a few stopped believing, but we never stopped believing in ourselves,” she added. “A game of two halves for us. The first half we struggled to press the ball. We changed it second half, back to 4-3-3, and I think we got some momentum then. But then the tempo went out of the game.“We got momentum and then gave away the penalty. And the injury with Alex . After all, Spain were just a little bit better than we were today and they had a great tournament. Congratulations for Spain.
