Millie Bright insists Lionesses can 'be EVEN BETTER' after statement win against United States

Daily Mail  

Millie Bright admitted England made a statement by beating world champions United States at Wembley on Friday but insisted they can get even better before next summer’s World Cup. Millie Bright has insisted England's victory over the United States was a statement win Georgia Stanway's penalty proved to be the winner as Sarina Wiegman's side won 2-1 ‘That’s a tough US side at Wembley with an amazing crowd, we were always looking to send a message. We have created a family culture and environment so we know we can look after one another.’ The US have work to do before next summer while England, who were without captain Leah Williamson and striker Alessia Russo, look like they could play a World Cup now. Lauren Hemp gave England the lead in the first half before Sophia Smith hit back Bright credited the England environment for helping keep the side grounded after success Asked whether that’s a difficult task, Bright said: ‘It’s a good point, I don’t think people understand how difficult it is to come down from the tournament like we had such success from.
