Everton Women star Kenza Dali has been blown away by the north-west's passion for football and wants more of the same at EURO 2022.
The French star's first season on Merseyside has seen two managers come and go in Willie Kirk and Jean-Luc Vasseur, making it the hottest seat in the Super League.
A constant, according to the winger, has been the fervent support of Toffees fans.
"Living in Liverpool, I see passion for football every day," said the midfielder.
"All the time people are wearing jerseys. They live for their club, they live for their national team and the sport.
"That's why I came to play here. I'm a big football fan and you expect England to be like this.
"I went to Anfield the other day and it was amazing, the English are famous for this atmosphere and passion for the sport.
"You can live in one city and watch four or five teams. When people speak about their club, it's like speaking about a family and it's hard to explain to my own family!"
Interest in women’s football is booming with a season-high Super League crowd of 20,241 watching Manchester United beat Everton at Old Trafford.
England open the tournament against Austria at Old Trafford on July 6 and for Dali, playing at the iconic stadium was the fulfilment of a long-held ambition.
"It was a dream to play at Old Trafford," she said.
"When you're a kid you play on the street and you imagine you're at that stadium, even in France.
"Old Trafford was magic and the crowd was amazing for a league game. I can't imagine what it will be like at the Euros."
The 30-year-old played her club football in France for nearly a decade before making the move across the channel in 2018 to West Ham.
Dali is delighted that for the first time, a generation of girls have heroes to worship and role models to aspire to emulate.
"When you have a big competition in any country, you have a new audience watching and new people discovering the port," said Dali.
"It's so important for the young generation to have role models - we didn't.
"I was a big fan of Ronaldinho and he wasn't a woman! Now younger people have a picture and I hope it's going to inspire lots of little girls."
Sarina Wiegman’s England will be fancied to go deep in the tournament but the explosion of the club game in Spain makes them early favourites.
Former winners Germany, Spain and Netherlands will also be aiming for the final on July 31.
"I challenge someone to tell me who's going to win the EURO," said Dali.
"You've got Spain, Germany, Italy who had a superb World Cup, England, France. There's too much competition, no-one can say which country is definitely going to win.
"It's so competitive, so hard and I think it's going to be amazing because the level is going to be so high."
Dali's France will expect to be there or thereabouts and are perennial quarter-finalists at major competitions.
They fell in the last eight at the 2019 and 2015 World Cup, the last Euros in 2017 and the 2016 Olympics.
"We don't want to be favourites but we don't hide at the same time," she said. "We'll be ready for that and take it game-by-game."
