00:00I think the tournament alone will help young girls want to play football.

00:05It doesn't really matter what or who gets what.

00:09I think just the tournament happening alone and it being on telly and advertised

00:14I think will help young girls want to look up to us anyway.

00:19Yeah, I think when any tournament's on, no matter what sport it is,

00:22you just want to go out there and play it really, don't you?

00:24So, 100%.

00:26You have dreams, obviously, and you believe in yourself,

00:29but when you're watching, it seems so far away, so I couldn't imagine now.

00:37Playing for your country at any time obviously means a lot,

00:41but yeah, to hopefully go to the Euros and help the country would be nice as well.

00:46It's a new team and, you know, everyone's different now.

00:49It's quite youthful, so it's kind of a fresh start.

00:54Sometimes the change is good and, you know, fresh, hungry legs coming in

00:57is always going to be a positive thing.

01:00Yeah, it's obviously very exciting.

01:02I think anyone wants to represent the country.

01:05It's the biggest honour, really.

01:07So to be able to do it at major tournaments, I think, yeah,

01:11it just gives you butterflies, really, that feeling.

01:14It's always amazing to see at Wembley as well.

01:16You always see how many people actually come and watch the women's game.
