- Asked if Lauren James got through training, Wiegman said all 23 players on the pitch came through, so if everyone recovers well, all 23 are available. Many players can make an impact, and England know James can too.
- Asked if England planned to peak at the right time, the England captain joked it was all part of the plan, then said it definitely was not. England would like to wrap games up a little earlier and easier.
- Asked if she feels less pressure than in 2022, Wiegman said there are expectations every tournament, but only two teams make the final. That is not really pressure, it is very special.
- Asked if England are underdogs against the world champions, the England captain called Spain the best at what they do. England need to be at their best to beat Spain, and she thinks the reverse is true too.
- Asked about watching the World Cup final from the sidelines two years ago, the England captain said it was awful. Being completely useless probably bothered her most, and sitting with the families made her reflect.
“…I would probably say that success to me is happiness in your circumstance and your company…”
- Asked how she stays so calm, Wiegman first said she is having a heart attack too, she just doesn't show it. England talk through all the scenarios so they can decide very quickly when they change.
- Asked about the last hours before the final, Wiegman said she does every match day the same, as the preparation is done. The England captain will be playing Monopoly Deal with the players and having a nap.
