A recovering Millie Bright, Jess Carter and Alex Greenwood have been the unsung heroes of England's World Cup so far. Greenwood in particular with the most successful passes and touches and second-most chances created. FIFAWWC
The captain was clearly lacking sharpness in the first two games, but along with Greenwood she is the only outfield player to have featured in every minute of the Lionesses’ tournament so far. The switch to a 3-5-2,at Chelsea, she is far more accustomed to the back four. The 29-year-old is not the quickest but she is complemented on that front by Greenwood.
Wearing the armband, another quirk of fate brought about by Williamson’s injury, it would feel a poetic twist if Bright were to lead England to more silverware.when she was sent off late on in the infamous “tea-drinking” semi-final defeat against the USA. Glory in Sydney would be the ultimate vindication.“Now it’s at a level when you’re getting the tighter results, it’s not four or five [goals] any more,” she said.
“We had those 1-0s at the beginning and we knew how massive those results were. I think maybe people might appreciate those 1-0 results a little bit more now. “We knew this tournament was going to be the hardest by a country mile because the level is so high in the game. I know we’ve talked about the big nations, but every nation is a big nation.”
