2023 Women’s World Cup: Pressure off England after Euros win, says Bronze

The Hindu  

Winning the European Championship has taken some of the pressure off England going into the Women’s World Cup, full back Lucy Bronze said, despite the Lionesses being touted as one of the teams to beat in the tournament. England won its first major title last year on home soil, overcoming Germany in the final at Wembley and is looking to improve on its semi-final runs at the previous two World Cups when this year’s event takes place in Australia and New Zealand in July-August. “I think every tournament I’ve been part of after 2015, it was like an expectation that England should be making finals and winning, even though it’s something we’ve never experienced before,” Bronze told Reuters. “So I think our experiences are invaluable in that respect and probably takes a little bit of pressure away.” Sarina Wiegman’s England, who has only lost one game in 31 under the Dutchwoman, begin its World Cup campaign against Haiti in Brisbane on July 22 and also face Denmark and China in its group.
