My idols growing up were Rush, Barnes and Aldridge and I don’t remember the Women’s World Cup even being on TV.

But now, this incredible group of women have changed all this. More than ever, it’s so much more than just a game.

[Lionesses @Lionesses]

Gave it everything. Made us dream. Inspired the nation.

Proud 💙
