00:00 Gutted, absolutely gutted.

00:01 You know, we came here to give them the hero's welcome.

00:04 And then I rang my book, I was writing it,

00:12 and then I rang this so that they could maybe sign it for me.

00:15 And it was like, when I heard, everyone kept saying,

00:18 "Oh, they're not coming out, they're not coming out."

00:19 I had belief that they were going to come out.

00:21 And then when we finally heard that they're not coming out,

00:24 like, actually, confirmation.

00:27 I actually, I was like, devastated.

00:30 It's a weird one. I think everyone just expected them to come out.

00:33 They always normally are really good with the fans.

00:35 And especially something like this, you know,

00:38 they've had an incredible tournament.

00:40 So for them not to come out, I'm pretty surprised, actually.

00:43 It's definitely not nothing to do with them,

00:44 because they are so humble, and they would be out here signing.

00:49 No matter how tired they were, they would be out here signing

00:52 and talking to us.

00:55 So I don't think it's got anything to do with the girls at all.

00:58 My sister, she wanted to be a footballer when she was little,

01:00 when she was laughed out of town, you know.

01:02 So it's really nice to see that it's making change

01:05 for the young girls to come through.

01:07 And even him, he was playing in goalers Mary Earp's yesterday, weren't you?

01:11 Yeah.

01:12 So, yeah, it's a shame they haven't come through today,

01:15 but they've got everything to be proud of.
