00:30 Seeing all of these people in Victoria Park supporting women's football
00:41 which I did not think would happen at this rate so quickly in 2023
00:45 and it actually made me really proud to be a supporter of women's football
00:48 It's been nice to see women really getting a lot of coverage
00:54 and the game being valued as it is in the men's game
00:58 and hopefully we can bring it home
01:00 My youngest daughter plays football
01:02 so seeing the older players is a pure role model for her
01:06 Her ambition is obviously to play for England
01:09 Hopefully we're going to win!
01:11 [Cheering]
01:13 Amazing!
01:15 My favourite Lionesses is Mary Upp because she was outstanding
01:22 Lauren James
01:24 She banged it in about Tottenham
01:28 My favourite player is Lucy Bronze
01:30 She's a playmaker and we love her
01:32 Kiera Walsh, defensive midfielder
01:34 Lotta Wibamoy who is from Hackney
01:37 She was the one who pushed writing to the government to make sure all girls can play
01:40 And I love Mary Upps
01:42 I'm a goalkeeper and I love it when they say the penalty
01:45 It's my favourite feeling ever
01:47 [Cheering]
01:51 Go Mary!
01:53 [Cheering]
01:55 [Cheering]
02:09 [Cheering]
02:11 I'm gutted to be honest
02:27 I had tears at the end of the match
02:29 because I just really wanted them to bring it home
02:31 and we were so close
02:33 I had high hopes for us to go through
02:35 Obviously it's a shame that we didn't
02:37 but I'm quite proud of the girls
02:39 It's football, it happens, that's the football at Arsenal
02:41 I'm used to it so hopefully next time we'll get it, we'll get it home
02:44 No doubt, I've got season tickets to Arsenal Women's this year
02:53 Chloe's come with me before
02:55 We're going to keep watching, we're going to keep supporting
02:57 It's only the beginning I would say
02:59 Seeing England in the World Cup final is one of the proudest days of my life
03:02 I never thought I'd see it but we did today
03:04 I'm ashamed about the result but I know in four years time
03:07 they'll be back, they'll be back and they'll be in a World Cup final again
03:10 and they're going to win it next time, come on England!
03:12 The Lionesses, despite losing the final, have still won the hearts of many
03:15 so I'm still proud of the team as well
03:17 Keep your heads held high and looking forward to the WSL season
03:20 the Women's Champions League
03:22 I'm all there for it, I'm all there for it
03:24 Come on the Lionesses!
