Euro 2022 winner Jill Scott is backing England's Lionesses to add the World Cup to their trophy haul, saying she will be their "biggest fan" as they launch their campaign in Australia and New Zealand.
The 36-year-old veteran midfielder announced her retirement after helping Sarina Wiegman’s side to European glory last summer. She had won the 161st and last senior cap of her 16-year international career in the 2-1 final victory over Germany at Wembley.
England will head Down Under this summer as one of the favourites and Scott is bullish about their chances. “I’m so excited for that next generation of players," she said. "And you know what? I don’t have to sit on the fence any more, so I’m going to say England are going to win the World Cup.”
