“It's disgusting what's happening and that goes beyond football.”
- Asked how she balances protecting Jess Carter with preparing as normal, Wiegman said Carter is a very strong person. England felt they had to address it, and she is ready to perform and to compete.
- Told she could become only the second manager to lead a nation into three successive finals, Wiegman said she is just in the job now. Maybe in 10 or 15 years she will think about that.
- Asked if the abuse makes it harder to pull on the shirt, Georgia Stanway said it makes absolutely no difference, as those people are not fans. The players wear it for teammates, families and real fans.
- Asked if she has fallen in love with England and its people, Wiegman said yes, but not the ones Stanway had just talked about. It has been incredible, and some people just do disgusting things.
- Asked why the team no longer take the knee, Stanway said the players felt it was a little bit repetitive and not doing what they wanted. Standing will hopefully bring more conversation and change.
- Asked about her journey back from injury, Stanway said she still has to pinch herself. She feels faster, fitter and stronger than ever, and after 10 years without an injury, she might have needed something.
- Asked about Leah Williamson, back in training after not finishing against Sweden, Wiegman said she did everything to recover and could train today. If she recovers well, she is available tomorrow.
