It's about having those players who will now hopefully become familiar (try to avoid the role models tag) who people and more importantly kids will want to go and see. Names that maybe were not familiar with most of the 10 million or so viewers last night before can become the attraction to go and see them play live more regularly.
I had only really a passing acquaintance with a lot of the England team in terms of knowledge. I knew Lucy Bronze was one of the best right backs in the world. I knew Fran Kirby and Millie Bright were highly rated within the game and that Ellen White had scored a lot of goals and Jill Scott has been around forever. But it has been refreshing to see players I had kind of heard of but not really seen show what they can do and their characters. Players like Beth Mead, Lauren Hemp, Georgia Stanway and the younger ones in Alessia Russo, Ella Toone and Chloe Kelly. I didn't know Mary Earp was a really good keeper.
As some on here will know, I do like a deep lying playmaker so Kira Walsh has really stood out and Leah Williamson's passing out from the back has been enjoyable for me to watch.
Of course I do go and see the City development side sometimes to watch Chloe play but it might get me to a few more women's games this season. That's what needs to happen with this tournament around the country and they cannot really do much more than they are.
