00:00 I mean we came down from 2-0 and obviously got it back to 3-2 in the second half.
00:04 I think the fight and the character that we've shown as a group, that's what we want to show every time we put on this England shirt.
00:09 We just didn't give up, kept pushing and some great finishes, great teamwork and a great effort from the team today.
00:16 High pressure game, 2-0 down to come on with a little bit of expectation to do something.
00:21 It doesn't go amiss, but I'm so happy to be out there and play with the team again.
00:26 And I thought we were incredible second half.
00:28 Going into half time, everyone came in and we were still confident.
00:31 We knew everything was up for grabs, anything could happen.
00:34 And yeah, his vital, especially going into the next game, that we get that win,
00:37 because obviously the Olympics are still up for grabs and that's what we want to get.
00:40 If we don't win, then nothing in the other game matters anyway.
00:44 So we've got to take care of what we can and hopefully it'll be a good atmosphere.
00:48 It should be a good game against our local rivals almost.
00:52 So it was a fun game when they came to us and yeah, we're looking forward to it
00:56 and hopefully carrying on the momentum we had from the comeback today.
00:59 I think it's an exciting game anyway, but there's so much going on in this game.
01:03 It's a rivalry. We're playing in Scotland.
01:05 I don't even think I've ever played Scotland away before in my career.
01:11 And yeah, it's playing for a top position in the group to get through in the Nations League,
01:17 to have a go at getting to the final, qualifying for the Olympics.
01:21 You know, there's a lot of things riding on the game,
01:23 but equally for the other two teams in the group as well.
01:25 But I guess that's what's making this tournament so exciting.
