Millie Bright has said it is in the Lionesses’ “DNA to fight and be competitive” as the team prepare for a World Cup semi-final showdown with the co-hosts Australia after battling their way to the last four.
“The journey has been long and tough, but without those experiences you don’t learn,” Bright said. “It’s different for everyone. We have an ultra‑competitive group and it’s in our DNA to fight and be competitive.”
