And often players bat that away.
But do you think they did?
And again, Katie, just to say, that talk wasn't just coming from the England side of things.
I was in the Spanish press conferences yesterday here in Mallorca, and a member of the Spanish press asked their manager, Sonia Bermudez, you know, is England this bogey team?
for Spain and she kind of you know deflected the question and said well every match is different but that pressure those questions were coming from their own media as much as you know English media were talking about the fact that England have got the best of Spain over the last couple of huge meetings and
I think Fran's right.
They came here with a point to prove.
You have players here again from Mallorca, Lucia Corrales, who plays for London City Lionesses, was absolutely fabulous.
And, you know, for her in particular and the likes of Katakoi and Guiaro, you know, they're from Mallorca to step out here.
Mariona Caldente as well, you know, to come and play here in front of what is such a real home crowd that really got behind them and really enjoyed what they saw.
You know, you could see on so many levels that,
what it meant to Spain tonight.
It's going to be a quick turnaround.
England now have their final game against Ukraine at home on Tuesday.
But this is the biggest loss under Serena Wiegmann.
They've actually never been in this situation before.
Let's get a bit more reaction from Ciara Walsh then.
Well, a chastening defeat for England tonight and a big game coming up on Tuesday.
Thanks then to Frank Kirby and Vicky Sparks for us in Mallorca with coverage of that big loss.
Spain 4, England 0.
