Bright admits she would never have believed she is preparing to captain England at a World Cup final - now she calls on the Lionesses to 'put on a show' and lift the trophy
Asked how her nine-year-old self would have felt if she were told she were about to lead her country out in a World Cup final, Bright admitted: “She would have probably said you were being silly and it was never going to happen, but I guess dreams come true.
“I just think it is a really proud moment and as a squad, we are just really proud of our journey and the tournament and how far we have come. We are finally getting a shot at the trophy we always wanted.”Fans have had plenty of earlier starts than that to follow England at this tournament and Bright thanked those who have been “setting their alarm clocks and making the effort to support us, even though we’re a million miles apart.
“It’s amazing what football can do in really bringing everyone together, especially our nation. We’re really proud, stick with us for one more game.” London is expected to host a parade later this week if England lift a first World Cup trophy since 1966 and whatever the result, Wiegman reflected on “how football unites and brings something positive, it brings people together.
“When a country is behind a team, that’s very special and it’s so much more than just playing football.”
