It's really difficult to play against.
But it's disappointing that England's best spells came when the game was kind of out of their reach.
I think, like I said, it will be a lot of learnings from England for this.
I think they'll learn how it feels to play against a team that's in full flow, a team that's finding the pockets, finding the spaces.

This will hurt.
I'm hurt watching it.
I'm hurt seeing, you know, the girls and the way that they deflated after the game.
