00:00Actually, after the Sweden game, obviously she scored the header and then the penalty.

00:07I actually text her agent, who I know well, and just said she was unbelievable.

00:15She, again, showed that she's a winner and so determined and that never give up attitude.

00:21And I said to her, please tell her after the tournament that I believe she's the best player since Kelly Smith for England.

00:27Because it's that player, that unique ability for a player to be able to perform at the best.

00:33Obviously, serial winner at club level as well.

00:37And in those moments, kind of just say, I will do whatever it takes for England.

00:42I, yeah, that to come out afterwards, I'm like, doesn't surprise me.
