It's been less than a month since more than 87,000 people packed out Wembley Stadium to take in England's last-gasp victory over Germany in the UEFA Women's Euro final.
It was an historic occasion; the whole country watching, spellbound, as the Lionesses banished 56 years of hurt by clinching England's first major title since 1966 with a win over their long-lamented nemesis. And now that the billowing silver ticker tape has settled and the fevered choruses of 'Sweet Caroline' have melted into the abyss, there's hope that the heroics of Sarina Weigman's team will help to spark a revolution in the women's game.
At least, that's the hope of Chantelle Thompson, who will captain third-tier Liverpool Feds when they line up against Wolves in their season opener at Jericho Lane on Sunday.
