Olga Carmona’s first-half strike earned Spain a 1-0 victory in the final in Sydney.
Heartbroken England captain Millie Bright vowed the Lionesses would bounce back from their World Cup final defeat.
Olga Carmona’s first-half strike earned Spain a 1-0 victory in the final in Sydney as Sarina Wiegman’s side were denied a first World Cup triumph a year after their maiden European Championship success. But Bright, who captained the side during the tournament in the absence of Leah Williamson, does not think this is the end of the story for this team.She told ITV: “ huge amount of disappointment. At first you feel you failed cos you’ve not won, but to finish second I think in a couple of weeks when we settle down we’ll be really, really proud.
“In the first half we weren’t at our best. Second half we bounced back, showed our fight, showed our character and we had chances, we just didn’t have that final edge today. “We’ve been 1-0 down in a game before and we bounced back and that was the aim today. We never give in and it’s hard to take but it’s football. We’re absolutely heartbroken. Unfortunately we just weren’t there today.”
