Asked if it was important to stay calm, Toone said: “Yes, it’s really important, but we’ve got a squad full of experience and we know what it’s like. “We’ve got to go again in a few days, so as a team, we’ve got to make sure that we switch our mindset, we recover really well and we learn from the game.” England, rated second in the world by FIFA, took a first-half lead through Beth Mead, but were pegged back by Elisa De Almeida’s sweet volley before Marie-Antoinette Katoto won it for third-ranked France with both goals stemming from corners. “We know they’ve got some big players who are really good in the air and we knew that we had to make sure that we were concentrated, and it’s really disappointing to concede two goals like that, so it’s not the best feeling right now.
