huge disappointment for the lionesses but in terms of what it has done for this country around the world it was quite something. absolutely and the players are going to be devastated to get to a final and not lift the trophy, that s very hard to bounce back from. you had the support from the fans outside of their hotel, they are so proud of what they ve achieved. and the word pride is significant here, you heard mary earps talk about it, they are incredibly proud of the lionesses. they will be very proud of how they built on the support from back home. they didn t win but they are also very aware that they will be returning as heroes because they were finalists, they have inspired so many people, notjust young girls but also they have changed the conversation about women s football. and this hasn tjust happened in
