‘GIRLS WILL COPE WITH PRESSURE’

big, tense games under pressure. At the World Cup, we beat Canada in their own backyard, with 50,000 there.

“There were 30,000 when we won in New York. These games give us the confidence to win in front of big crowds.

“It’s a massive game for us, but it’s massive for Holland, too. We feel in a good position to handle that pressure.”

England lost the World Cup semifinal through a freak own-goal in the last minute of extra-time in 2015, but have since beaten the world’s top three – the US, Germany and France.

England’s positive approach was summed up by Arsenal midfielder Jordan Nobbs, who said: “To play the home nation in front of 30,000 people – what a feeling! We’re looking forward to putting on a good performance.”
