England's midfield is tough to break into with Bayern Munich's Georgia Stanway and Barcelona's Keira Walsh firm favourites to start. Maybe they are a team who needed this sort of wake-up call, to learn that you cannot switch off mentally against another team ranked in the top 10 in the world. It can only have done them some good to win under pressure, and to come through a penalty shoot-out. But it was troubling that nobody was able to do what Scott did last summer. Brazil (5-3-2) Leticia 6; Antonia 6 (Gabi Nunes 87), Lauren 6 (Andressa Alves h-t), Kathellen 6, Rafaelle 7, Tamires 6; Ary 6 (Fernanda 87), Luana 5 (Duda Francelino 69), Kerolin 6; Zaneratto 6 (Adriana h-t), Geyse 6. Two different phases: first half, second half. Lots of learning for us in preparation for the World Cup, but we really wanted to win this one too.
When do England women play next? Match schedule for Lionesses
They will debut the new kit for the first time against Brazil during this current international break. It has been a move welcomed by a number of former England players. Hope turned to disappointment when it was later confirmed by airport staff that the Lionesses had left the airport and the crowd soon dispersed. She added: “Yesterday was a day of mixed emotions for me," she said. "At one point it was the best day of my life, but then it became the worst. I’m really moved to be able to offer this joy for the entire country. A major trophy win and a final appearance in two successive years is no mean feat, however, and it's clear the Lionesses are growing as a team and in support.An average of 13.3 million people tuned into the final on television, making it the country’s most-watched women’s football match of all time. Have you got an amazing young female player on your team? Has she got what it takes to grow from grassroots to greatness? Could she become a Lioness of the future? While they absorb yesterday's pain the Lionesses will be contemplating what might have been, not what lies ahead. We did not know how much England were going to miss Jill Scott until they could no longer call on her in a game such as this. Brazil showed us just how sorely her absence will be felt at the World Cup this summer.

Ahead of tonight's match, the Lionesses released their new kit ahead of the World Cup on Monday, featuring blue shorts after players raised concerns during the Euro's last year over wearing white shorts while on their periods. Did you know The FA has a PARA Football Talent Pathway for Female players which progresses into PARA National Teams. For players who have been identified through our future Lionesses Talent ID activity, there will be a regional offer of support to provide best v best, stretch and challenge opportunities (inc v boys) to support top talent at focus age groups in region, enabling our pathway staff to have a greater knowledge of players in their regions and to prioritise individualised support for players.I think it might be time to get a trophy cabinet. I think every time you win, it makes you want to win more. England are through to the semi-finals, but the Lionesses will be under heightened pressure next week when they play against a home crowd, ITV News' Steve Scott reports The Lionesses will now go on to play the tournament's co-hosts, Australia, next Wednesday in Sydney with hopes of making it to the final. We’re made of great people in this team, staff and players. It’s about moving forward and being ready for July," Kelly told ITV Sport. "It was another challenge here tonight but we’re building momentum and keep moving forward now." It's hard, obviously they're very technical footballers. Let's just say it's good practice for the World Cup in the summer. Win by hook or by crook. Just really pleased with that to be honest.
Lionesses? England: What World Cup positions are up for grabs for Lionesses?
England started off at a disadvantage, with tournament standout Lauren James receiving a two-game ban for treading on Nigerian defender Michelle Alozie. She is one of just five midfielders in the squad for Thursday's Finalissima against Brazil - with Manchester United captain Katie Zelem missing out - so it is another chance for her to impress. She's enjoyed unparalleled success in charge of the Lionesses, reaching the final in both tournaments, winning the Euros and losing the World Cup final. She suffered an anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) knee injury before the 2019 World Cup, missed out on selection for the Olympics in 2021 with Great Britain and had knee issues again prior to Euro 2022.Talented Players can be found at any time and from anywhere and that is why our partnership with the EFL Trust is so important in helping us to unearth future hidden talent. I was very, very disappointed (about the final result). Seeing Millie with tears in her eyes, it just bought tears to my eyes. I really felt for them as well. Meanwhile Colombian defender Carolina Arias was forced off the pitch very early on following a collision in the penalty box, being replaced by Ana Guzman. Girls attending a Future Lionesses Goalkeeping Centre can still register and play competitively for their club team, the centre simply provides an additional unique goalkeeping experience once a week.
